    On to me for what? I am a progressive that doesn’t want Trump to win. I just don’t believe being a fascist like you seem to want to be is the right way to win votes.

            Antifa claimed to be anti-fascist, but ended up being co-opted by fascist domestic terrorist claiming to support left-wing ideals while actually being a violent anarchist group.

              Man… it must be fucking amazing to live in a world where at will, reality changes to support whatever you need to say.

              Fuck! I bet that’s awesome!

                Nancy Pelosi, in Denver visit, says violent “antifa” activists “should be prosecuted” and don’t represent Democrats:

                “Antifa is a real thing,” Wray added at that hearing. “It’s not a group or an organization, it’s a movement or an ideology, maybe one way of thinking of it, and we have quite a number — and I’ve said this consistently since my first time appearing before this committee — we have any number of properly predicated investigations into what we would describe as violent anarchist extremists. Some of those individuals self-identify with antifa.”

                In testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee on March 2, he said the number of FBI investigations related to this category has surged — with more FBI arrests of anarchist extremists in 2020 than in 2017, 2018 and 2019 combined.

                Antifa’s flag literally depicts an anarchist flag. I’m not sure what reality you live in, but it must be nice where reality changes to support whatever you need to say. I bet that’s awesome.

                  Cool story. Hope it took you a while to write that nonsense up.

                  Oh, you know who else hates Antifa?

                  That’s right

                  MAGA.

                    Yeah, of course they do. It is the leftist version of the Jan 6 protestors. Fortunately, the Democrats had enough common sense to try to distance themselves. However, it looks like domestic terrorists from Antifa are pretty active here on Lemmy.
