But the stupids here in the US haven’t realized “how to serve man” is literal, the menu and recipes have been right in front of us this whole time.

Removing security clearances of dissenters, particularly those who have criticized the government or held views contrary to the administration, is a tactic associated with authoritarian regimes.

This tactic is seen as a way to:

Silence dissent and discourage criticism: By revoking clearances, governments can penalize individuals for expressing dissenting opinions and create an environment where others are hesitant to speak out against the regime for fear of similar repercussions.

Control information and narratives: Limiting access to classified information and silencing individuals who may have inside knowledge can help authoritarian regimes maintain control over the information that reaches the public and shape narratives to their advantage.

Marginalize political opponents and critics: Stripping individuals of their clearances, particularly those with a history of government service or expertise, can be a way to discredit them and remove them from positions where they could potentially influence policy or public discourse.

That is quite a reach.

And if you want to say that Trump was prosecuted for being a criminal, then I guess these people are having their clearances removed because they are untrustworthy.

Big difference was pointed out by Hensou, though. You violate rights; Trump takes away privileges. You are the authoritarian supporter. Trump is trying to undo authoritarianism.
