If antifa is a terrorist "organization," does that mean we've got a fascist administration? WhiskeyGrinder Jul 2019 #13

Like the ones who attacked Andy Ngo, but they are rare. Drumpf playing up Antifa violence while ignoring RW extremist violence & murders is disgusting

One person out of a large crowd took a swing at the poor boy, who provoked a physical confrontation with hostile people in a melee situation. But Andy, unlike Ricky Best and Taliesin Namkai-Meche, managed to walk away from the encounter, and cry on Lars Larson's show about the mean meanies of Antifa.

If we don't stand up for Antifa now, we're going down that same road.

Why do we insist on accepting his untruthful framings and not repeating the facts? I'm not convinced that antifa actually exists. Don't trust people who hide their faces while assaulting others, no matter what their political beliefs. We must stand for a lawful society.

that would basically make this a "thought crime" situation, wherein being opposed to the ruling party's agenda (e.g, fascism, in this case) would be considered criminal. Good luck passing that kind of thing in Ameri....oh yeah, that's right, we're a fascist nation now; there is no more "United States" at this point and we might as well just re-name the middle part of the continent as "Trumpland" and be done with it.
