Stephen Miller’s Descent: Escalating Rhetoric and a Desperate Gamble
Stephen Miller, a key figure in shaping the Trump administration’s agenda, frequently frames American politics as a battle against “leftwing terrorism,” accusing Democrats, judges, and the media of shielding such threats. This rhetoric, as seen in Miller’s response to an unfavorable judicial ruling, reflects a broader pattern of labeling any opposition to Trump as illegitimate. Miller and Trump view dissent as a form of rebellion, utilizing events like the murder of Charlie Kirk or protests against ICE to justify the use of state power to suppress their political opponents. This strategy underscores a post-liberal approach that rejects neutral standards of conduct, justifying Trump’s actions while deeming any opposition as evil.
