They killed three in CHAP/CHOP when that was a thing....

Maybe they aren't as "powerful" as the Weathermen...yet. Does that mean they should stay unchecked?

Just wait for ONE significant incident in retaliation from a far-right affiliated individual and it will cancel out every violent act committed so far by these animals in the eyes of the MSM and their devoted followers. Not defending the idiot who commits this act in this scenario. Simply stating the obvious and de facto response from our politically slanted and divisive media outlets. But at this point I don't think it holds as much weight. People are waking up and not tolerating the abuse to the extent they did before now that they've dramatically upped the pressure and forced their presence to an incredibly obnoxious level.

It appears you misspelled Trump.

I'm pretty sure you have no idea what communism actually is. And how does it feel to support facism? Or just to support an immature man-child who can't understand logic, facts or science? I can tell you I feel great being an intelligent human being who can see through all his B.S.

Our Constitution and form of government doesn't support fascism through checks and balances. How can a president act in this manner? Wouldn't you think it's the ones like the protesters and rioters using physical actions to suppress free speech who would be acting as the fascists? Seems elementary to construe Trump acting bombastically as being fascist. Heck, the MSM have more power over the people than Trump.

How can he act in this manner? Well, in Portland he ordered anonymous federal officials to disappear people in unmarked civilian vehicles like they did in South American dictatorships in the 70's and 80's.

There is a very high likelihood that I am older than you, so I do remember what Communism is. I know it is the most murderous regime in the history of mankind, killing hundreds of millions. I remember seeing the breadlines in the former USSR, the missiles aimed at us on Cuban shores, and protesters being run over by tanks in China.

On a post discussing the damage being caused by a pro-Communist like antifa, for you in insert your snarky comment is more telling about you than you know.

Um, no. Communism is simply an economic system that centralizes control of the economy in the state. All the stuff you mentioned is just a dictatorship/totalitarian regime.

And our president is now sending federal troops to attack innocent civilians, in a manner similar to what you've described.
