On Monday, just one day after the Republican Party staged a Horst Wessel-style memorial for Charlie Kirk in Glendale, Arizona, President Donald Trump signed an executive order designating “antifa” a “domestic terrorist organization.”
The order claims that antifa is a “militarist, anarchist enterprise” that uses “illegal means to organize and execute a campaign of violence and terrorism nationwide.”
Antifa, as even FBI Director Christopher Wray was forced to admit in a September 2020 congressional hearing, is not an organization but a broad current of opposition to fascism. “Antifa is an ideology, not an organization,” said Wray, who also testified that the bureau had no data showing any lethal violence committed by the organization.
Since antifa as a formal organization does not exist, Trump’s executive order amounts to a blanket authorization to brand political dissent and opposition to his fascist regime as “terrorism.”
So you have been completely asleep and unaware of current events!
Because that has been happening in spades over the last 8 months.
Like, gratuitously. Or didn’t you hear about that person who was forcibly deported to El Salvador simply for having an Autism awareness tattoo? No crime. No danger to society. A solid, upstanding immigrant deported as a “violent member of a gang” because of a tattoo.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Turns out that over 94% of current deportees would never have been forcibly deported under normal conditions, because they have either no criminal record in he first place, or no convictions. After all, you cannot deport on a suspicion of criminality.
94%. That’s one insane jump. Sure looks like “guilty until proven innocent” to me!
Dude, you need to wake up and smell the fascism. Because it seems to me you have zero clue of just how far things have gone. Hell, when even experts in fascism have been fleeing America, that shit is happening.
