October 18 "No Kings" Protest

People who organize under the banner of antifa are mostly anarchists. It's the same crowd who brought us the Battle in Seattle WTO protests. They are not liberals.

I don't see why we would want to adopt their name. I would think it would be prudent to say, "Every reasonable person should be anti-fascist. Antifa is a different ideology. It is about fighting in the streets."

Federal authorities have been warning state and local officials since early 2016 that leftist extremists known as “antifa” had become increasingly confrontational and dangerous, so much so that the Department of Homeland Security formally classified their activities as “domestic terrorist violence,” according to interviews and confidential law enforcement documents obtained by POLITICO.

I knew about them in Portland. That shit has been smoldering for a while. I didn't know they were elsewhere.

As I said, dumbass anarchists.

Incredibly shaky assertation there. That article merely states that left wing extremists tended to clash with right wing extremists. That goes without saying, I would think.

Google "Did the Obama administration designate antifa as a domestic terror threat?"

Let me know what you find.

I've posted three links about Antifa engaging in violent action including the use of homemade explosives and firearms. The DHS under the Obama administration was concerned enough to classify their activities as domestic terrorist violence. Perhaps you should tell us once again how publicly aligning with such a group will win over moderate voters and convince people that Trump is wrong when he labels the Democrats the "party of violence". The assertion that the Democrats can black bloc their way to victory in 2026 is ludicrous.

Yeah, let’s win over the moderates!! That’s a winning strategy. It just keeps producing win after win after win!

Trump and right wing media have changed what happened on 1/6 for 10s of millions of people even though we all saw the same fucking thing. There’s a reason trump and his sycophants keep mentioning antifa and it’s not cause they’re out there causing mayhem. They’re not a threat to the “American” way of life.

They know they’re fucking fascists and they need everyone thinking that being against fascism makes you a terrorist.

I’m not concerned in the slightest about winning the “moderate, gun-loving racist” vote. They’re the problem. Not the solution.

Dems keep playing defense and running scared. They have to change or this country is doomed (if it’s not already).
