In the aftermath of the Capitol debacle, it is time for the liberal establishment to hunt down Trump supporters.

Even the US Fish and Wildlife Service is taking part:

A manatee was found with the word “TRUMP” scrawled on its back in a Florida swimming hole, prompting an investigation from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, reports said Monday.

The defenseless animal was spotted with the political inscription over the weekend in the Blue Hole headwaters of the Homosassa River in Citrus County — about 80 miles northwest of Orlando, the Citrus County Chronicle reported.

What kind of fiend would do something like this to a defenseless animal that for all we know votes Democrat?

Alert citizens promptly made this a federal case:

Witnesses reported the animal to federal authorities, the outlet said.

Punishment could be severe:

[Senior federal wildlife officer Craig] Cavana said harassment of manatees, which are protected by the Endangered Species Act, is a Class A federal crime that carried a $50,000 fine and/or up to a year in federal prison, the outlet reported.

In a more serious development,

A Philadelphia police detective is being investigated for allegedly attending the “Stop the Steal” rally ahead of Wednesday’s deadly US Capitol riot, department officials said.

Detective Jennifer Gugger … was removed from her role Saturday after internal affairs investigators received Facebook posts indicating her presence at the protest, department sources told the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Fair enough, if Gugger is suspected of taking part in the illegal antics inside the Capitol. However,

The tip didn’t include evidence that Gugger was inside the Capitol or took part in the ensuing violence that led to five deaths, the newspaper reported.

How would liberals like it if people who took part in the George Floyd protests were subjected to investigations, even if there was no indication of involvement in actual rioting? The screeching about civil rights would be deafening.

Cops didn’t need to attend the protest to get in hot water. A mere endorsement could be enough:

The Oakland Police Department has opened an investigation into allegations that its officers endorsed or participated on social media accounts that contain objectionable content about the violent riot at the U.S. Capitol.

“Whether on or off duty, employees of OPD are prohibited from affiliating with subversive groups, and they are prohibited from doing anything that brings disrepute to the Department and erodes the public’s trust,” the department said in a statement Friday.

That policy is only as reasonable as its application. Reasonableness is in short supply lately, particularly in the Bay Area. In the current climate, this could be abused to drive off the force anyone discovered to have political views that deviate from the left–liberal line.

The specific infraction inspiring the Oakland investigation is liking a Facebook post about storming the Capitol by a former officer who left the force 6 years ago.

The coming merger of Big Tech and Big Government will make these investigations a cinch. No doubt Silicon Valley stands ready to provide long lists of thought criminals. There isn’t much that Google/Amazon/Facebook/Twitter/Apple doesn’t know about anyone.
