So Pizzagate is horseshit. Anyone with a critical mind knows that. And it is directly leading to the harassment and potential attacks on the ownership, staff, and clientele of Comet Ping Pong Pizza and others. This is a huge problem. But it's merely just the harbinger of a larger one.

In reality, James Alefantis' only crime is this: He was a donor to Hillary Clinton and the Democrats. That is why he became a target. A fanatical youth movement loyal to the government - Donald Trump's Red Guard, in effect - fabricated charges against him and attacked him, his livelihood, and his employees. It was repeated and broadcast through pro-government propaganda outlets and "news sources." It culminated with an armed individual physically intimidating them.

This is an excellent recipe for political intimidation of one's opponents going forward. Trump's Red Guard online can simply dig up "information" on his political foes. It will be relayed through pro-government outlets like Breitbart and InfoWars and social media like Facebook and Twitter. Real-life harassment and intimidation will ensue.

This goes beyond just a simple nonsense conspiracy theory. This is the foundation for silencing political dissent.
