i applaud MM for trying to keep as close to the middle on this as possible, and quite frankly, i'm shocked that fox news has a left leaning celebrity on their show, because jumping into one side doesn't really do a whole lot. but i just don't see this as a "both sides" issue. there are "both sides" issues, to be fair, but this doesn't seem like one of them to me. my perception from what i've seen is this:
-republicans vilifying democrats for wanting to keep people safe -republicans vilifying democrats for believing public health is priority number 1 and the economy is priority number 2 -republicans actually advocating for sacrificing the weak in order to open back up (that was one of the more disgusting things i've seen from either side, on any issue, in recent memory) -republicans denying science, downplaying the severity, all because they have this strangely held belief that democrats actually want to destroy america (gee, where did they get that idea?).
people want to go back to work because that fucking orange buffoon is doing next to nothing to help anyone. he blames everyone when things go to shit, and tries to take credit for things when they go right, even when they don't go right and he just claims they are. it is incredible to me that people believe him.

Oh, I know. It's like Patriot Prayer. They're patriots who pray. Very wholesome. Right in the name.
what is wrong with being anti-fascist?
And why would anyone NOT be anti-fascist?
Fascism: noun: (sometimes initial capital letter) a
governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly
suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry,
commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often
racism.
“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.” Variously credited to Mark Twain or Edward Abbey.
Oh, I know. It's like Patriot Prayer. They're patriots who pray. Very wholesome. Right in the name.
what is wrong with being anti-fascist?
What is wrong is I don't trust the fascist-detection skills of a bunch of rage-fueled vigilantes and neither should anyone with an ounce of common sense.
Since we are wildly off topic, my final post on the matter is a great post from Ken White (aka Popehat) that is required reading for anyone seduced by the visceral rush of antifa or "nazi-punching." I clipped one of the more succinct points as a quick taste.

I think he's a right-leaning celebrity, albeit not a complete nut-bar like James Woods or someone. Of course, that in itself makes it a shocking move from Fox News. He doesn't even seem to want to own the libs. In any case, I generally appreciate his attempt to not vilify either side (though these sides do exist) because the moment he does, he's discredited by one side.
I do think in many ways, this is a challenging issue with views I can respect (related to some of the what/when/how to move ahead, etc.). But, I can't "both sides" all of this. 40% of the country doesn't believe any expert, any scientist, or anyone else with credibility because they believe Trump, Hannity, et al. Just like they believe climate change can't be real because it was colder than average yesterday, they believe this whole thing is a hoax because nobody in their circle of family/friends has died. Oh, and they care about the feelings of a snowflake more than the actual good of the country.
It's funny, though...while I don't agree with some of the rosier things McConaghay (sp??) said, I do agree that "Democrats don't want the economy to suffer and Republicans don't want people to die." Want and willingness are two different things...

I love me some Ken White, really I do. He's the only political commentator I follow on my otherwise not political Twitter. But I'm gonna go with Popper on this one. If you give fascism an inch, it will take a yard.
That said, "antifa" as you seem to imagine it is largely a boogey-man conjured up by provocateurs in conservative media. They've even gone so far as to document their own acts of violence and then circulate that on social media as "antifa."
Now why would anyone want to do that? Hint: they'd like fascism to become acceptable.

unfortunately when our government representatives make decisions based on politics, then the decision is therefore politicized. i don't like it either, but that's the hyper-partisan world we live in now.

I was pretty confident the WI SC would rule against Evers on this, I just didn't expect it so quickly. At least here in Milwaukee, we'll still be under a safer at home order. This really just Darwinism at it's finest. Sad to think all of the individuals that may contract COVID from these idiots crowding in bars, who weren't willing to behave like this.
I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.
