I guess I’m not following you. What right wing terrorism has happened that hasn’t been addressed? What is Trump not doing that Obama was doing to fight any terrorism? I’m not aware of anything that is against the law that has taken place between Trump and Congress. Can you be more specific? If your talking about the lack of discourse between Trump and Congress then it depends on if you are Republican or Democrat as to who is fault that is. Naturally Democrats will blame Trump. Conservatives will blame the Democrats.

I don't think you've read many of this guy's posts. He continually displays an astonishing level of ignorance. It's insulting. This entire thread is the result of Republican propaganda that attempts to draw equivalencies between right wing hate groups/ideologies that literally have a long rap sheet of murders with a bunch of vandals and hooligans. Republicans need that boogeyman to distract from how vile their brand has become.
So, we have the White Boys terrorist group, the Trumpers terrorizing our country and now Antifa? WTF. DD
The self-proclaimed Antifa militant who was killed Saturday by Washington state police as he attacked a local Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center was seen in a recent CNN program that critics say glorified a radical, left-wing movement. https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/cnn-antifa-ice-glorified
You forgot to mention that this Antifa idiot was featured on United Shades of America ... a weekend documentary series that also featured interview pieces with the likes of Richard Spencer among many other controversial figures as part of a the series that purposefully does pieces on the most divisive people in society. I like you Astrodome... but this is an obviously diversion attempt to change the conversation. When in doubt... there’s also the Antifa boogeyman. Antifa.... whoever they are... don’t represent the Democratic Party. Especially these idiots who believe in owning and having the ability to use weapons of war... something that’s is maybe the #1 critique of the left. (Obama’s coming for your guns!!).
I randomly came across this story on here. I wonder why this story is getting minimal media coverage?
I think Antifa as a topic especially in the historical context is very interesting in how they’ve been a propaganda boogeyman used for government abuse. I think that’s a great topic to discuss of course but you know theres about 1,000 other topics today so no shock that FoxNews would make the lead story today about ... Antifa and CNN.... and also be misleading in the headline. But in this thread more than happy to talk Antifa whenever you’d like! No worries. My point was more about FoxNews making this a lead story today of all days.
I think they posted the story over the weekend and updated it recently. I guess you right though, this group isnt really newsworthy at this point. Edit: originally ran the story july 15th
So who here on the far left will come forward and condemn the antifa, a listed terrorist organization's, recent terrorist attack? I am waiting because so far I see spin and people who are avoiding it. The silence continues and it is very telling.
Terror groups... right wing and left need to be dealt with. I see a lot of spin to deflect from the real problem from people who are sitting behind their keyboards, rooting on antifa which is a listed terror organization.
Burning down a detention facility is not a serious threat to the public? Are the people inside not the building of value? What about any people detained? Are they not the public? What about civilian personnel? The public aside, what about police officers and government workers? Are they not worth protecting from a threat for just doing their jobs? This is just the start because these people have a religious like political belief and are zealots. The media and left, and specifically politicians like AOC, are egging them on with misleading and dangerous rhetoric. This is just the beggining of antifa being a threat to the public. What about innocent people they beat? What about that journalist they gave a brain hemorage? What about the bike locks to people's heads? What about their tactics of isolating people from groups and surrounding them and beating them? And all the members of the public already affected? Yeah OK, downplay it all you want. Antifa is a group of hateful, violent extremists. Yes evil exists in their hearts if they are going out and doing these angry, hateful acts because some people don't agree with them. This is a terror group for a reason, because they are not willing to take part in the open and free political process in this country and seek to undermine it. They are against everything a free and liberal democratic republic stands for. Anyone, left or right, using violence to push political views and suppress others, is using fascistic tactics. These fascists call themselves anti-fascist to hide what they are, but it's obvious to anyone paying attention. These are today's brownshirts and they are the one's making problems. Right and left extremists who seek to do these types of things need to be dealt with. Period. They are increasingly a threat to the public and their safety. They don't just target "nazis" because most people aren't nazis anyways. They hit innocent people all the time. Hell, they even beat up their own member who had his mask ripped off. These are thugs and again... evil.
Don’t hold your breath bruh. We know their energy is in the fake outrage political arena, this doesn’t fit the cause.
I’m sorry his tweets hurt your feelings, he should just continue making America great again and stop being so mean. There ya go.
That ICE building is not the general public. The person who did that is wrong and should be arrested and held accountable. Anyone that assaults an innocent person is guilty of a crime and should be punished by local law enforcement. However, Antifa has almost never been shown to do that. Almost all of the cases are in very few locations that can be counted on one hand. So that isn't a threat to the general population. As I said even at those locations out thousands and tens of thousands of people marching it is usually less than 20 that engage in these activities so even at the scene, most people aren't in danger. I'm not downplaying anything. I fully support the arrest and conviction of anyone that has used or uses violence. The rest of what you posted is hysteria. Calm yourself. Neither AOC nor any other politician egged Antifa on to do this or any other violent act. I don't trust your concern because the violent acts by Antifa are less frequent and less severe than those by the right. Unlike those on the right which are being supported and encouraged by our president, the Antifa groups no longer have that kind of support. Furthermore, I have seen you support and defend violence much worse than what Antifa has done in the concentration camps instituted and run by the President and his administration. Those children are truly innocent. I can look at the incidents of both sides, and that one is far more evil than what Antifa has done. Yet, you defend those incidents. So forgive me if I doubt your earnestness regarding the issue of innocent being threatened treated inhumanely. I have zero fear of them. I could go to a march where Antifa was present and I wouldn't have fear for my safety from them. B
