Which makes it so dangerous. They just declare everyone opposing them a terrorist. That's what russia and china do.
This is just more fodder that his idiot followers will eat up, especially now that they're squealing like frightened pigs over the protests. Nothing will come of it like any big dumb trump declaration
Wait so if you are designated a "terrorist" don't feds lock em up indefinitely at places like Guantanamo??
edit meaning they can start accusing whomever they deem an enemy "antifa" and just lock them up without a trial etc.

"AntiFa" isn't an organisation. 45's ban isn't about stopping terrorism, if he did there's a whole load of white supremacist organisations with actual membership he could shut down. No, this is to ensure that any protest against fascism (himself) can be shut down.
As an aside, Hitler's first targets were political opponents. Socialists. Communists. Trade Unionists.
Edit: Watch him use any excuse he can to either - block election or refuse to step down if he loses.

Very intentional. Protesting a thing the state supports? Well we can claim you are part of a terrorist organization and throw you away without due process.

I'm not sure if there's an English version of this but you can bother Google Translate.

yeah this is worrisome, since any protest could just be slapped with an ANTIFA label no matter what it is.
Just wow. Just keep on diggin'. This shit will spiral out of control soon as hell if this keeps up. This will give the powertrip-hungry police all the justification they need to label protestors as terrorists and justify even more brutality.
I find it weird as fuck as to why risk whole nation rioting and in the worst possible scenario even civil war, instead of just getting into the root of the problem and bring justice to the people that caused all this shit. I might be also misunderstanding something since I'm not American and haven't followed this stuff that close, but damn, things really are fucked up there.
I feel for you people, I really hope for the best. Stay strong and make your voices heard, whatever it takes.

Once again, she seems to be the only one in Congress asking the right questions and pointing out the blatant hypocrisy. We need ten more of her.
Unfortunately, a lot of the demsoc primary challengers this go around have had trouble campaigning or fundraising due to covid.
Better if it did so literally.
I hope this blows up in his face.

AOC has a keen awareness on how to challenge the brazen injustices in America's system in coded language without calling them out for the monstrous things they, in reality, are. Making charitable assessments are what allow her to remain a crucial advocate for human rights in the House.
I don't get it. Why would it be bad to be against far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power and forcible suppression of opposition?
I thought America was about freedom, which is kind of the opposite of fascism?

Yep.
That's the only way for him to stay in power.
He's really trying to start this.
Wouldn't want to have funded, represented or helped organize for a local antifa group right now. A whole bunch of stuff that was legal in the past could now be used to lock people up, put them on lists, stop them travelling etc.
Wouldn't underestimate the potential implications of this

Because that's increasingly where the GOP is heading, and because Antifa is largely comprised of socialists/anarchists/communists so it makes a good boogeyman.

"Oh yeah??? SO YOU'RE SAYING THE KKK ISN'T A TERRORIST GROUP HUH ACLU CHECKMATE!!!!"
Conservatives are so fucking stupid jesus christ on a stick
If he has a direct line to Mr. Putin, tell him to send in the supersoldiers.
I mean what are we supposed to do. Rules for thee but not for me is known. Its known. They're fucking shameless and don't care. What are we supposed to do?
These types of people would argue that Antifa is an organization led by international Jews.
Man, imagine if the GOP ever actually got the far left boggieman they so desperately want.

USA is just a joke at this point. Hope these protests are the beginning of the change the country desperately needs.
I'd say it's about time we started labelling the World War 2 allies as Antifa. Because that's literally what they were.
Look at those terrorists.
Would love to see the right's decades worth of trying to convince veterans they're on their side go up in flames

Not long?
Downtown Los Angeles wakes to National Guard soldiers patrolling the streets today.
The Mayors of these cities sure know how to make things worse huh, real dystopian shit when people start protesting because they're tired of the injustice and instead of trying to solve it, they rather silence them.
