Months ago, during the Democrat primaries, a Bernie Sanders staffer was recorded boasting that, if successful, the septuagenarian socialist would quickly set up his very own gulag archipelago. “Send Republicans to re-education camps”, he fumed.

Well, it turns out that even without Sanders at the helm, the Democrats are all-too-ready to start their own Terror.

While Joe Biden publicly mumbles about “unifying” and “healing”, behind the scenes his operatives are already drawing up the blacklists for the tumbrils. Cue the American left’s own Madame Defarge.

At the behest of ‘squad’ member and New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a blacklist of “Trump sycophants”—entitled “The Trump Accountability Project”—is archiving the names of individuals who “elected, served, funded, supported, and represented” President Donald Trump.

“Is anyone archiving these Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity in the future? I foresee decent probability of many deleted Tweets, writings, photos in the future,” the US representative tweeted Friday afternoon.

“Yes, we are,” answered former Obama administration staffer Michael Simon, citing the Trump Accountability Project. “Every Administration staffer, campaign staffer, bundler, lawyer who represented them — everyone.”

The people who are still whining about McCarthy after 60 years are busy drawing up their own McCarthyite blacklists.

The site is a self-described “permanent record” of those who elected the president, including Trump campaign staffers, Republican National Committee members, and affiliated PACs in 2016 or 2020.

Individuals who donated a “significant amount”—$1000 or more—in efforts to re-elect the president and related campaign committees are also blacklisted.

Others who worked in the Trump administration; endorsed the president in a public light; were appointed to federal boards, commissions, or the judiciary; and staffed law firms that represented the Trump name in any capacity are named.

If you thought Cancel Culture was already bad enough, you ain’t seen nothing yet. The American left are gearing up for a campaign of vengeful terror unheard-of in modern politics.

“If you hire someone who remained with the Trump admin after the election, be on notice you will be held accountable by MeidasTouch and we will ensure you are exposed,” warned Geragos & Geragos partner Ben Meiselas who represented professional football player turned-Black Lives Matter activist Colin Kaepernick in his highly-publicized lawsuit against the NFL.

On Thursday night, Stand Up Republic executive director Evan McMullin foreshadowed the call: “We should keep and publish a list of everyone who assists Trump’s frivolous and dangerous attacks on the election. Name and shame forever.”

It certainly looks as if Biden has learned a thing or two from his good friends and backers in communist China.

Human Event’s Will Chamberlain quipped: “Leading Democrats like @AOC and @JRubinBlogger apparently want to treat Trump supporters like China treats the Uyghurs.”
