Political Repression in the USA refers to the various ways the United States government has undermined various movements that threaten it. Like most liberal democracies, the United States has never really had a campaign of overt banning and mass murder to repress political opponents. Instead, political repression takes far more quiet and subtle forms involving assassinations, strategy of tension, imprisonment of activists on false/exaggerated charges, monitoring, encouraging of suicides and the occasional massacre.
