Well, considering ANTIFA doesn't exist, I'd say it's pretty safe to say they're doing this so they can label anyone they don't like as ANTIFA and disappear them.
Everyone should be arming themselves and helping everyone they know arm themselves.

Congratulations everyone! We are all now domestic terrorists if we don't agree with nazi's and the fascist government we have!
Thanks republicans! You got what you wanted! Free speech for right wing extremists, and everyone else is labeled a terrorist who can be sent to a concentration camp with zero due process!
All law and order is now gone, our economy is quickly crashing, and the job market is destroyed. Just as Donald Trump told his voter base he would accomplish, he actually did it. I give Project 2025 more credit than i did before. They streamlined us into Fascist US in less than a year!
Band Of Brothers is now banned from all streaming, as is saving Private Ryan, fury, and inglorious bastards.
Those are all terrorist propaganda.
Is Antifa even a group? Like, do they send out newsletters or some shit? Can you buy a hat? Vote for leadership roles?
I thought it was more of a political belief. Wouldn't that just be calling all left wingers terrorists?
Yes, this is an attempt to label any sane person who is anti-fascist a terrorist. The irony is the likelihood of WW2 grandkids voting in favor of the current fascist. We're truly fucked as a nation.
It's literally just short for "anti-fascist". They're anti-anti-fascism.
Wouldn’t that just be calling all left wingers terrorists?
Bingo.
I'm just over here waiting for the majority of Americans to grasp that we now have a fascist government. Literally.
Lot of denial going on in America right now. People are really going to have to start suffering before it sinks in. The suffering is coming. Guaranteed.
When they gonna take down all the ww2 memorials and statues that honor our vets fighting facists?
They know that Antifa isn’t real. This way they can call anything Antifa and it’s now a terrorist that has no human rights.
It's not about Antifa, it's about George Soros. Wait for it.

The vast majority of these tweets allege that Soros is paying protestors to riot, and that he funds antifa. A smaller number claim that he plans to radicalize African Americans in order to undermine society and enable the globalist takeover of America, while some go so far as to claim that George Floyd’s death was actually a false flag deployed by Soros in order to precipitate the current crisis.
White supremacists are so fucking stupid. And so fucking in charge of the USA.

This is McCarthyism all over again, which should come as no surprise considering Roy Cohn mentored Donald Trump.
Weird they are focusing on this but not releasing the Epstein Files as promised.
Weird they are focusing on this but not releasing the Epstein Files as promised.
Not weird when you take into account that Donald Trump raped children.
Says the extremist domestic terrorist organization currently occupying my country.
Edit: yes where ARE the Epstein files?
If Antifa even was a terror organization in the US it would be one of the most ineffectual ones in existence given the state of the US.
What a fucking joke.
this is a good sign, as it means antifa will win this war just every like every other war on ideas the US has waged. US is 0 for 2 against Drugs and Terrorism
I don’t understand why it matters. Antifa from what I understand, is anti fascist. Is America fascist, so they need to be afraid of this ‘idea’?
I already know the answer, I just don’t understand why more people especially journalists aren’t asking it.
"so are you a 'explode something' terrorist, or 'Shares a meme that hurt someone's fefe's' terrorist?"
Good! It's ABOUT Time we label WWII vets as the TERRORISTS they Are!
It's really easy to be a member of antifa, all you need to do is criticize the fascists.
The US government designates most of their citizens and almost the entire world (except Israel and the Russian government) as terrorists as antifa means you're anti fascism. Guess I'm a terrorist now.
Fwiw, the President can't just "declare" that a group is a domestic terrorist organization. That's a violation of the Fifth Amendment.
We've been able to get away with declaring foreign groups as terrorist organizations because they're not based in America so the government can claim the Constitution doesn't apply to them.
Of course, we all also know this won't stop Trump...
If you are anti-anti-fa, that means you are fa. Do I need to spell it our more explicitly than that?
As an Uruguayan this gives me a weird feeling. The dictatorship regime here started cause "the need to quash communist terrorists" called MLN or Tupamaros at the time they where revolutionaries at the time but they served more as an excuse, even the Che Guevara warned them at the time. The military repression and overthrow techniques where learnt in the school of americas that now goes by a different name. And you can see how the parallelism happens in the whole region. The scene is very alike and one would dare to think shit gonna be sadly worse on such an influential country. If anything in time you'll learn the meaning of the phrase
Nunca más...
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.
We all know the Trump regime is the real domestic terrorist organization. Go give more dark money to superpacs that will make the world better.
Remember Antifa is short for anti-fascist. Calling it what it is changes the meaning behind this.
It's like the war against DEI. They say the acronym because if they say "I'm against diversity, equality and inclusion" they look like assholes
Pretty safe to say America is officially, explicitly, pro-fascism, then? Does this qualify us for any refugee status or something?
Since "antifa" is just an idea and not an actual organization, use another term that means the same thing.
What a dunce. Does that idiot not even realize--- wait, ofc he doesn't. Antifa isn't a group, it's an idea. The idea is that we hate fascists. By declaring this "group" terrorists is basically saying HI I AM A FASCIST POS. 🖕🤬🖕
So everybody who fought in WWII is now classified as a terrorist since they were fighting fa(cism).
Well, guess we’re the ones who are all domestic terrorists.
If we already gotta do the time, might as well do the crime. /shrug
Oh boy I sure hope that this is what helps the economy, lowers the price of groceries, gas, and housing. So much winning everywhere!
Antifa is a militarist, anarchist enterprise that explicitly calls for the overthrow of the United States Government
What did they mean by this
"We can't just label someone immigrant or trans so we need another term for people who we want to throw into our concentration camps when we don't like them that is vague enough so that it means everything and nothing."
It's not a distraction, it's a bigger deal!
Stop it! We know he's a pedophile who raped trafficked children, and we know the files won't be released.
This is more pressing. You're distracting from it with your tired meme.
ANTIFA isn't an organized group, it's a term to identify yourself as "anti fascist", and now that nets you a bullshit terrorism charge. People will start getting arrested and questioned about very mild anti trump sentiments and be charged with bullshit terrorism charges.
This is a crackdown on the remaining freedom of expression you can get away with. This is a huge deal.
Activists will be arrested and physically beat over this, we've seen this movie before in other authoritarian dictatorship struggling for power before. You'll soon be dragged into a van and stomped on for posting that stupid meme, but you're not posting it ironically, it's actually your main concern.
