https://www.thedailybeast.com/pro-trump-parents-panic-over-hoax-claiming-antifa-will-report-them-to-child-protective-services?ref=homeConservative activist Patrick Howleythe Big League Politics founder whos now at the pro-Trump Epoch Timeskicked things off earlier this month by citing a graphic from ostensible antifa account @JoinAntifa that promised to report Trump supporters with children to social services.
Lots of sources say this is happeningdont let them say this was a joke, Howley tweeted.
From there, the idea that antifa activists are trying to steal away Trump supporters kids earned articles across right-wing blogs in addition to being picked up by Twitter personalities like Jack Posobiec.
This is sick, declared adult film star Jenna Jameson.
Despite its popularity on the right, this idea is totally fake. The entire claim is based on the single @JoinAntifa tweet. @JoinAntifa has just 36 followers, and is obviously set up to either troll Trump supporters or help create damaging fake news stories about antifa.
@JoinAntifas page features other slick, if obviously ridiculous, graphicsincluding supposed antifa schemes to report pro-Trump Boy Scout troop leaders as pedophiles and promising to send armed antifa members to polling sites.

I think that is straightup ratfucking and gullibility, not snowflake triggering.

Put the shoe on the other foot: Democrats would be just as concerned about such reporting to child social services.
... if it was true.
Problem is: Trumpanzees are very gullible and swallow all kinds of junk if it supports their orientation, regardless of whether it is true or not. They are shining examples of Confirmation Bias. Suckers for being ratfucked.
