"There is a large and growing movement of leftwing terrorism in this country. It is well organized and funded," he wrote on X. "And it is shielded by far-left Democrat judges, prosecutors and attorneys general. The only remedy is to use legitimate state power to dismantle terrorism and terror networks."
"The most consistent theme in Trump's career is that any word or deed that he deems contrary to his political interests is illegitimate. Any unfavorable news story is libel, any election he loses is rigged, any unflattering fact pattern is a hoax, and almost anybody who opposes him should be locked up. Miller's career was defined, in its early stages, by a fanatical hatred of immigration."
""The Democrat Party is not a political party," he said in August. "It is a domestic extremist organization." Several weeks later, Trump seized on Charlie Kirk's assassination to depict his own political opponents as accessories to murder. "For years, those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis and the world's worst mass murderers and criminals," he said, in remarks"
Stephen Miller framed American politics as if the nation were in advanced civil conflict, claiming a well-organized, funded leftwing terrorism movement shielded by far-left judges and prosecutors and urging state power to dismantle networks. The immediate provocation was an unfavorable judicial ruling related to President Trump's federal takeover of National Guardsmen in Oregon. Violent defiance shapes Miller's worldview and influences the Trump administration's stance toward Democrats, media, and judiciary. Trump routinely labels unfavorable news or losses as illegitimate, treats opponents as criminals, and aligns with Miller's hardened anti-immigrant and extremist rhetoric.
