J.D. VANCE IS RIGHT:

Look to the New Domestic War on Terror. “The overarching ideology of Pentagon officials is larger military budgets and ongoing permanent war posture. Their new war target, explicitly, is domestic ‘white rage.’ . . . In other words, to justify the current domestic War on Terror that has already provoked billions more in military spending and intensified domestic surveillance, the Pentagon must ratify the narrative that those they are fighting in order to defend the homeland are white supremacist domestic terrorists. . . . The Pentagon’s prime targets, by their own statements, are sectors of the U.S. population that they regard as major threats to the national security of the United States.”

The goal is to tag all political opposition as racist terrorism. I’ll also note that this sort of stance — dividing the U.S. military from its traditional base of civilian support — is just what the Chinese would want in order to weaken it before a war.
