"I ain't no Democrat, but sure as hell ain't no fuckin Republican either"Gtilley8 said:
There's not a "slightly contradictory viewpoint" going on here. It's a radical change of this country's established system and laws. To get there, the GOP needed to co-opt racists, religious zealots, and the anti-science idiots. If someone truly only has a "slightly contradictory viewpoint," then it's incumbent upon them to realize the above, distance themselves, call the above groups out as not sharing your values, and send these groups back to the dark corners of the internet and the ass backwards towns they came from. I'm not seeing any of that from the political right. You either have a problem with your party, that no longer represents your political and social views, or you're ok with it. If someone leaning right in their views is sick of bring called a Nazi, racists, KKK, etc.....maybe it's time to stop voting in line with them.vaggar99 said:to me its anyone who calls you a Nazi, KKK etc for offering a slightly contradictory viewpoint to the Left mindset. There are whole groups on Facebook infested with these people. That's right, I said infested.
Those that refuse to vote democrat this year for Congress are pertpetuating the Trumpian deathgrip on democracy.0 -

Good article. It’s a way white supremacists have piggy backed blind hatred of the left and mainstreamed their message.mickeyrat said:
“By trying to create the idea of a just-as-radical side on the left, it lends credence to his argument that there is blame on “both sides” for the violence that erupted in Charlottesville. Also, it’s an easy way to charge up supporters.”0 -

I’m not even sure how well organized it is. But now the right wingers who hate liberals label any counter demonstrators to white sumpremacist rallies as antifa.

Not that I know of, but they are known to willingly physically attack anyone who does not go along with their agenda. That is much closer to terrorism than putting sand in the crankcase of a bulldozer or pulling up survey stakes on a proposed road through wilderness."It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0 -

It’s a lot different. There is no representative of ‘antifa’ in a significant position of leadership formulating laws and policy. You do have self-proclaimed nazis and white supremacists running for office, though. We had Steve Bannon in the white house who had the goal of infiltrating an alt-right message on the back of liberal hate and he has been successful. Slimeball Stephen Miller is still there, creating policy to stir racist sentiment.tbergs said:

NO, GODDAMN IT JON, THEY ARE NOT TERRORISTS, THEY ARE SABOTEURS! Abbey knew the difference and there is a major difference between the two. Saboteurs do damage to, or destroy property. Terrorists do harm to, or kill people. BIG DIFFERENCE!Most Antifa are not saboteurs, they are terrorists.

That’s what it stands for. Due to the habitul whattaboutism from trump supporters when he’s criticized, violence that broke out during counter demonstarations (which has always happened) was pinned on antifa. Therefore antifa = neo-nazis (an actual domestic terrorist group). Apparently antifa is now more of a threat than white supremacists.my2hands said:Antifa stands for Anti-fascist, correct?
