15. So journalists deserve to be killed?

The psycho-logic: the only war the media could instigate is against Trump. CNN has no army. So, like with all dictators, wars of aggression are always justified as "defensive". The objective of war is to kill the enemy. The press is the "enemy of the people." Thus to MAGA journalists should be shot.

One wonders what officials in the Pentagon think about this. Don't hear much from them of late.
