It’s gonna be like nailing jelly to a wall.
I think I've figured out Trump's Reichstag moment.
It'll be the White House burning down, because of something going wrong with the ballroom construction. Then he'll get to move the presidential residence to Mar-A-Lardo like he's always wanted, and charge the American taxpayers for renovations and rent forever.
Kirk was the reichstag fire
... in case you weren't sure what he stands for
This HAS to be satirical, right?
I mean, it makes sense doesn’t it?
They are not even hiding that they are fascist now, wow.

Its all the smoke screen for the epstein files.
You think making opposition to fascism a criminal offense is a distraction from releasing the files that we already know the man is in?
This is why we are fucking doomed. Get a grip.
The birthday book is the List. People have the thing they demanded and they're still just repeating the line and nauseum to themselves.
It's terminal brainrot. Nobody knows how to resist a fascist government. All they know how to do is shitpost
Its like your mind cant consider more than one thing.
Epstein files or no, this motherfucker is making it very easy to jail his critics so maybe consider giving this threat a little more weight.
Historically the War Dept was anti fascist.... Which means Trump just declared the U.S. military a crimanl terrorist organization... Time to go arrested those serving in the military. Let's start at the top: The ~~good~~ old commander in chief.
Historically the War Dept was anti fascist…
Under which president? Not Jackson. Not McKinley. Not Hoover.
Roosevelt.
I had a horrible stepgrandfather. He's done two good things: first, die, second, instill in us the value of fighting fascism. He fought nazis in europe. He went off about Constant Vigilance or something. Fighting fascists is a traditional united states value.
this order doesn't really do anything. it declares that "Antifa" is a domestic terrorist organization, and directs executive agencies to prioritize investigating and preventing illegal actions done by, or on behalf of, "Antifa."
it doesn't criminalize "Antifa," define what that is, impose any sanctions, suspend any rights etc. there's no statutory authority invoked. it's just an order telling Federal law enforcement to focus on crimes by "Antifa" first.
why? probably because there's jack shit they can do. there's no magical war powers to invoke against domestic terrorists.
it's just a tweet on fancy letterhead.
That's the fucking point.
And that’s the beauty of these orders… with no definitions, ANONE can be “Antifa”.
Therefore, anyone can be jailed under these new orders with zero effort needed aside from publicly branding them as an “Antifa member”.
It’s a jail-whomever-you-want-for-any-reason card. It’s the perfect tool for the ambitious fascist.
The vagueness IS THE POINT

IT IS DANGEROUS to laugh off their declarations as meaningless. Its is dangerous to call him an idiot. The vagueness is the point! THATS why fascism can take hold so quickly, because NO ONE KNOWS WHERE THE LINE IS.
So, as far as Im concerned, the line is way the fuck over - Go fuck yourself Trump. This executive order pretty much outs you as a fascist. - there.
Time to start mailing antifa membership cards to all your favorite republicans.
All this really does make me wonder about that Fourth Turning theory....it's like 80 years since the end of WWII, almost to the day.
We fought a war to end fascism.
America used to be antifa.
Not really though. They were just anti German-Nazi. Just look at all the lynchings, the Jim Crow laws, segregation etc.
Also helping to overthrow democratically elected governments in Guatemala and other Latin American countries to protect the interests of capital.
The fact that our govt didn't really give a shit about the nazis until Pearl Harbor forced our entry into the war.
