What the hell does this post have to do with anything antifa, protests or the thread. Seems like just a generic personal attack that could be used anywhere in any thread.

What are you trying to say?
Do you have anything to add to the thread or just pot shots?

THAT'S why they talk non-stop about Antifa.

They don't realize that we all see right through it.
They don't care that the majority of us see through it. They know all they have to do is sprinkle in a little "BLM" with a dash of "liberal" and they will recruit plenty that are stupid enough to fall for it. That's enough for them.

As long as we have a president who equates the KKK with those who protest it...

Hate Groups are allowed. There are over a thousand of them.

Polls like this are perfect examples of Right Wing Authoritarianism. They are snowflakes and melt - unless they are able to make LAWS against the "bad people".

Read:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-...thoritarianism

If a person voted to get rid of them....and yet doesn't want to get rid of 100's of others, they are hypocrites of the highest degree.

Now - if the question is:
1. Should they be arrested and charged for violence?
or
2. Should laws be passed that you cannot hide your face during political protests?

That's a different story. Even #2 is questionable because people should not lose their jobs due to political protest.

So, getting this straight, the same people who endlessly chant Free Speech think that our Gubment should become a BIGGER BAD BIG GUBMENT WITH MORE POWER TO ARREST POLITICAL PRISONERS?

That is totally fantastic.

America did not get involved in WWII to fight fascism. In fact, the plan was to sit out WWII unless we were attacked. Of course, we were attacked by Japan, which caused us to actually get involved. However, you seem to be suggesting that Americans were all gung-ho to stop fascism in Europe when in reality it wasn't that big of an issue for the majority of Americans. Most Americans wanted to sit WWII out, and that opinion only changed after Pearl Harbor.

It amazes me that anyone who could support Antifa in any way can say with a straight face that fighting fascism is a good thing. The liberal support of Antifa, with the claims that they are fighting fascism, is truly amazing when you realize that every single war we have been involved in where the other side was fascist has been protested by liberals. Vietnam, Korea, Afghanistan, Iraq, all involved fascist governments, and all were protested against by the same type of idiots who are now trying to pretend that Antifa is somehow justified in their fascist attacks.

In short, don't pretend that fighting fascism is something that Americans have always been about, especially if you're trying to use that argument to defend a group (Antifa) that uses fascist tactics to fight fascism. Antifa isn't anti-fascist, they are fascist. They're just against fascism that isn't theirs.

That's probably all true.
Nevertheless, America gave up over 400,000 American lives fighting fascism.
The left's fascisn is no better than the right's fascism.
It's like guns, we'll give up ours as soon as you give up yours. We'll censor our fascists as soon as you censor yours.
You know what they say, "Fight fire, with Fire."

Good post, Jim.

Do you have anything pertinent to add to the conversation? Or just personal attacks?

You guys must struggle with this, having one group of whites fighting another group of whites is so messy and complicated huh? It's not like the good old days when you could just blame everything on BLM is it?
