Perhaps the most clear articulation of how far the Trump regime intended to leverage Charlie Kirk's death to effectively criminalize their political enemies, from left wing protestors to the actual Democratic Party, was shouted into the record by the Trumpenreich's self-styled "Prime Minster" Stephen Miller, appearing on slavishly pro-Trump outlet Fox mere days after Kirk's assassination. I want to take a look at this September 13th, 2025 piece on Common Dreams because the author *extensively* quotes Miller himself, and particularly with the benefit of hindsight, I think Miller's own words have largely foretold the opening phases of a new, Trump-specific type of COINTELPRO or "Red Scare" type program that has emerged in the months since Kirk was shot.

Miller Says He and Trump Will Use Law Enforcement to ‘Dismantle’ the Left After Kirk Shooting
"White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller vowed Friday that he and President Donald Trump would use this week’s assassination of Charlie Kirk to “dismantle” the organized left using state power.
In a rant on Fox News, Miller—the architect of Trump’s mass roundups and deportations of immigrants—shouted that the best way to honor Kirk’s memory was to carry out a political purge against the left, which he called a “domestic terrorism movement in this country.”
Miller provided few details on what specific left-wing figures or groups he believed were stoking this violence."
Bear with me here for a moment folks, because while Stephen Miller may be using made up definitions of his own terms, he rarely speaks without intention behind the words he does choose. First of all, Miller did say who he felt was stoking the violence.
"He did, however, cite many examples of harsh, but nevertheless First Amendment-protected, speech that he considered an incitement to violence, including that “the left calls people enemies of the republic, calls them fascists, says they’re Nazis, says they’re evil,” and claimed that many people online were “celebrating” Kirk’s assassination."
In other words, identifying the fascist Trump regime as fascist, is inciting violence. Which means millions of Americans, from activists, to historians, to elected politicians are the people Miller is identifying as a domestic terrorism movement in the United States. Furthermore, Miller went on to indicate precisely how the entire US government would be repurposed to target the Trumpenreich's political enemies, and while Miller himself didn't clarify that he meant powerful donors to liberal and progressive political causes, Trump certainly did.
"I don’t care how,” he said. “It could be a RICO charge, a conspiracy charge, conspiracy against the United States, insurrection. But we are going to do what it takes to dismantle the organizations and the entities that are fomenting riots, that are doxxing, that are trying to inspire terrorism, that are committing acts of wanton violence.”
RICO refers to the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, which the government has traditionally used to prosecute organized crime groups. Trump later said one of his targets for these charges may be the billionaire liberal donor George Soros, the owner of the Open Society Foundations nonprofit, whom Trump accused of funding “riots,” a charge Soros denied."
Of course the Trumpenreich has to this day tied Kirk's murder to a purely fictional "vast anitfa conspiracy" that conveniently includes literally every protester, activist group, civil rights attorney, and opposition party politician in the country to create an obviously false pretense of legality. Not that it really matters, because as Miller also articulated in the interview the real crime is opposing fascism, which means opposing Trump, and the actual legal code has absolutely nothing to do with it.
"Miller did not limit his call to destroying those who commit crimes. He also spoke of those “spreading this evil hate,” telling them, “You will live in exile. Because the power of law enforcement under President Trump’s leadership will be used to find you, will be used to take away your money, to take away your power, and if you’ve broken the law, to take away your freedom.”
So you caught that right? Miller just admitted the Trump regime intends to persecute its political enemies whether or not they've broken the law; which is not only brazenly unconstitutional, but also borne out by the past six months of our news cycle. From assassinating anti-Gestapo protestors in Minneapolis, to trying to prosecute Trump's political enemies in the American establishment for crossing him, while compiling multiple secret enemies lists of everyday Americans who don't support the Trump's fascist takeover of America, Miller's words have proven to be more than just red meat for the base, but rather the call of the harbinger at a feast for crows; and anyone who isn't a Trump cult nazi, is now on the menu.
