    I am Antifa. Antifa means Anti Fascist … so yea, if MAGAs “hated enemy” is an antifascist movement then they have basically just classified themselves.

    Amazing how quickly the meanimg of terrorism changed over the years. When it became ok to hate terrorists, suddenly anyone you hate can be relabeled as one.

      This is the way. Get armed. Not because you want to enact violence but because you want to protect yourself and eventually they will find some trumped up reason to take away gun or ammo rights. You don’t by a sword to become a highway man. You do it because there are already highway men with swords. It’s a form of power.

        I actually know a few “lefties” that thought guns are stupid killing machines and nobody should have them years ago. After the first trump administration they all took an about face and are now pro gun and think we should all be armed. Our government should live in fear of us. They are there to serve and protect us, and we are the ones feeding them to make it possible. Instead they take our money and give socialism to their billionaire buddies corporations or send it to Israel or bomb random countries. We should not live in fear of our authoritarian regime, it’s time to turn the tables. Don’t tread on our freedom 🇺🇸 and don’t tread on sovereign nations because u want their resources. Time the USA pulls itself up from the bootstraps instead of taking from countries that don’t have the bloated military budgets to defend themselves.

    If you haven’t already, I would start talking to your neighbors and organizing.

    We already know the camps exist, and if you’ve seen some of the images that have been leaked you’ll know the conditions are inhumane and cruel. These new labels can be applied to anyone, for any reason. And make no mistake, you don’t even have to be in left-wing spaces to be accused and disappeared. So it’s not just you in danger, it’s everybody around you. It’s your co-workers, your family, your friends. All it takes is a wrong place, wrong time.

    Organize now, before you don’t have that option anymore.

      I actually looked up when trump won on DDG if an administration could see who you voted for. “No” I was told. Cool.

      And now all the States just handed over voter data to the administration.

    The political shootings were done by Republicans. So, clearly people against fascism are labeled terrorists. That’s pure logic.

      What’s so disturbing to me is that all the conspiracy theory nutballs I’ve known, the ones who…

      • are hardcore preppers who said the economy was due to collapse into a post-apocalyptic dystopia anytime a Dem is in the white house

      • kept talking about the FEMA death camps at former railway hubs with barbed wire fences pointing inwards

      • think black helicopters are running urban pacification drills in cities

      • keep being up giant fields being leased by the govt to store nothing but thousands of plastic coffins

      • never shut up about “jackboot” “police states” during the entirety of Obama and Biden terms

      They were all either hardcore right-wingers or simple “never trust the govt” types who suddenly started wearing maga hats

        They are not necessarily against those things in principle, even within their own country. They just don’t want to be the targets of it. Probably some, whether they are being honest with themselves for the reason or not, are wrapping themselves in MAGA for safety, then convincing themselves it’s the Good Side by accepting the propaganda.

        Which is neither to excuse any other group for accepting propaganda nor to assert Both Sides in any way.

      While this is just the next phase of fascism we all expected, and as incompetent as the FBI has become, no one should doubt that this is a dangerous escalation. I haven’t been able to fly for almost 20yrs because of “alleged” ties to ALF/ELF during the terror panic that birthed Homeland Security post-9/11. That was when the modern surveillance state was just getting rolling.

    Yeah, nevermind the actual terrorists that do things like…checks notes…storm the Capitol, beat up police and were seeking to hang members of Congress and the Vice President in an effort to overturn a free and fair election.

      Hey, he got the Georgia ballots, so I’m fairly sure the next step is to “find” 11,780 that were never counted and declare himself the true winner of 2020.

      Ergo he would’ve been elected for a third-consecutive term in 2024, so he should be ineligible and everything he’s done since null-and-void? I guess? I dunno where they are going with this except to write the history books in their favor.
