Prrreeetty concerning. Obviously there is no Antifa as an organization and but I would be cautious to call this meaningless. Seems more likely they will use this to slap domestic terrorism charges or conspiracy charges on anyone who is organizing against
incipient fascismfascism in progress in this country. Stay safe out there, hopefully this won’t affect me because I am a center-left Democrat.I do like that they list anti-fascism as obstructing ICE and law enforcement, which means that those groups are … hmm I’m drawing a blank here.

Think it’s more meaningful it’s not an org. They’re targetting antifascism as an ideology
But its given the designation “
foreigndomestic terrorist organization” which seems like it wouldn’t get past the federalists in scotus.GOP SCOTUS could create some bizarro world ruling to keep themselves and Trump happy. They don’t give a fuck how nonsensical or hypocritical their actions are.
The federalist society has a different bizzaro world to Trumps. Also their entire job is rationalizing their agenda so it doesn’t seem hypocritical, that’s their primary function.
If I remember correctly in Trump 2.0 - Trump sent 20 executive orders to GOP SCOTUS. He won 18 of them. And he won the last 15 in a row. I have no idea what the Federalist Society (and individual members) have said publicly. But I think he façade probably fell away.
But its given the designation “foreign terrorist organization” which seems like it wouldn’t get past the federalists in scotus.
It doesn’t matter. The point of categorizing people as terrorists is so they are assumed to be inherently dangerous. It is so you can just shoot them or stick them in a back site torture dungeon. You don’t have standing to appeal their definition of terrorism if you’re dead or being fed fish skeletons at the bottom of the oubliette.
That’s for foreign terrorists not domestic terrorists. Domestic terrorists still™ get trials. Mangione was charged with terrorism and it just got dropped.
I mean its going to take two years minimum before anything sees scotus and they’re going to get their damage done in that time.
scotus doesn’t give a fuck anymore
I forget exactly how it played out, but courts blocked this during Trump’s first term
lol
I am a center-left Democrat
I’m a fiscal conservative centrist libertarian.
But really, I agree that this is not insignificant.
I guess I now get to ask liberals if any of their favourite politicians have said they will lift the ban on antifascism.
EDIT: I also wonder if there are countries that will accept american refugees on the basis of political persecution for being antifascist.
but instead of a nuke it’s “let me live in the guest bedroom”
Maybe we’ll get that Hexbear meet up at Tiananman Square after all
THAT’S NOT IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW! We NEED to vote for the dem candidate, 110% Hitler, or else 111% Hitler will win! He doesn’t even want death camps, he just wants to shoot undesirables in the street! How could you leftists possibly support something like that?!
(I used the fash not the lib emoji because they are functionally identical at this point)
There’s a shitty novel called ‘Cycling to Asylum’ with this exact premise.
FBI and ICE busts the doors down on a retirement home to black bag a 98 year old WWII veteran and charges him with terrorism and anti German hate crimes.
The arrested some old people at the pro Palestine Action protests in the UK, so basically at this point =(
By the way, the US funded, trained and armed Al Qaeda and ISIS in Syria.
But they are very serious about fighting terrorism
Trump Officially Declares USA As Fascist State
so now they can just call leftists “antifa” and send them to El Salvador
better yet, guantanamo
Cuba may start formulating strategies to seize GTMO detention camp and free the prisoners
why cause there’s whites there instead of arabs? Cuba’s hands are tied here they cannot provoke America without great risk.
Well basically everyone they want they can call aunt tifa
Blatant admission of fascism but… crickets
Sweaty do you understand they took Jimmy Kimmel off the air?
Fascism is when a bad comedian gets his show suspended for a few days
Good thing i’m a simple lib
This is a conservative website.
Hexbear is for REAL PATRIOTS
This is the site of law and order.
Noooo not Tifa!!
We are all aunt Tifa on this day
I feel like fascists pronounce it like “Aunt Tifa” out of a exorbitance of racism .
to all the new domestic terrorists
who could have possibly predicted in 2001 that this is where we would end up
I was 10 at the time, but me
Something something simulacrum
didnt he already do this during his first term
didn’t biden do this too? how many layers of illegal is antifa on right now?
88
contrafa checking in
dumb and evil but they already had the legal framework to arrest you for doing good things like resisting ICE so this really just amounts to Trump virtue signaling to his base.
They are going to use it to go against the actual leftist organizations, like PYM, PSL, ANSWER
