    Understood. I will not oppose Fa. I still, however, oppose Fascism.

    We need to stop instantly panicking over “Donald Trump declares …” headlines. He can declare that pigeons are spies sent by Martian aliens. He has no qualifications to say so, nobody intelligent should be paying attention, his zealots will still follow his orders, and it doesn’t matter.

      Him getting the normalcy of calling opponents terrorists is still a reason to panick regardless of him being a moron who declares stupid shit.

        The fact that evil people have joined ICE to invade communities is due to their own evil - it’s not “because of” anything Trump said. He’s just a lump of flesh desperately trying to justify the abductions.

        Basically, I’m suggesting we reduce how much we view his importance in the current chaos. If he suddenly decided ICE was bad for his image, he’d still be powerless to stop it. Look at how bad he is at pretending to care about Russian invasions.

        That’s just the thing, there are no “they” in terms of a membership. Antifa is just a philosophy or political position. It’s like saying conservatives or flat-earthers or Phillies supporters are terrorist organizations. This executive order is nothing but the tantrum wailing of a geriatric toddler.
