Trump Turns Kirk Killing Into Authoritarian Drive

After the killing of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk, Donald Trump and Maga allies escalated attacks on Democrats, liberal donors and civic groups, branding critics the “enemy within” and the “radical left.” Trump made evidence-free claims about George Soros and invoked RICO as the Justice Department opened probes into Soros’s Open Society Foundations, which call the accusations politically motivated. A Trump-picked prosecutor charged James Comey and New York attorney general Letitia James. Trump also floated military use in Democratic-run cities and signed a memo on “domestic terrorism” — steps scholars and historians warn are authoritarian and anti-democratic.
