That "both sides" crap again...

“I am concerned for any group of hate

“I don’t like it, whether it’s white supremacy or any other kind of supremacy

“whether it’s ANTIFA, whether it’s any group or kind of hate.”

1. Pandering to his crowd

ANTIFA is all the rage with them now. I saw a Facebook reply in which someone claimed they couldn’t enter the city of Portland anymore because of ANTIFA

Antifa has jumped over ISIS and MS-13 in their world

2. I read the quotes before I looked

At the tweet and knew who said them.
I agreed with them THEN saw it was trump.

While I may question his being genuine about the statements, I agree 100% with them and I hope we all do. If not, we are not doing it right.

3. Were the Allies the same as the Axis?

5. What is another kind of Supremacy beside White?

do you know? does President Rapist Sociopath? does anyone?

Welcome to DU.

10. As far as in the news?

None. But a simple google search will yield some results. Obviously these groups aren't in power or caused the pain that White Supremacist have over the years, but they exist and it is dangerous ideology in any direction. Again i am going off the quote and my original thought after I read it and before I knew who said it. Apply prejudice and sure, I question the sincerity of the statement based on who said it, but I still agree with the words.

4. Antifa hate FASCISM.

That's not equivalent. Throwing a milkshake at Andy Ngo is not equivalent to SLAUGHTERING HISPANICS WITH A MSSA IN A WALMART.

I had to explain this to my Dad this weekend. He didn't believe me. He watches Fox.

6. If you follow RVA Wonk on Twitter

she compiled the stats recently in comparing the deaths from Antifa vs deaths from RW extremists over the past 30 years

Antifa - 1 (a Nazi that was killed in 1992)

RW Extremists - almost 700 now, with thousands more injured.

It's not comparable at all.

8. Twitter is poisoning America's mind.

I don't have an account.

I do follow both Emerald City and Rose City Antifas on Facebook, which, yes, is poisoning the planet's mind.

9. Then why do they behave like fascists? A milkshake didn't cause Ngo's injuries. Support or...

Oppose him, his physical assault by Antifa member was unjustified.

11. The Anti-Defamation League doesn't support them

They are anarchists.
I recently saw a post supporting violence to end immigrant detention.

12. Oh, noez. a POST?

Again, tha's not equivalent to a White Supremacist murdering Hispanics. The Fascists on our streets aren't going away because we sing Kumbayah.

BTW, they're allowed to be Anarchists.
