As Trump vows crackdown on 'antifa,' growth of right-wing extremism frustrates Europeans

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The day that President Trump declared he would label the far-left “antifa” movement a domestic terrorist organization last week, a far-right group also based in the United States announced a new international branch in Russia.

The Atomwaffen Division, a small but violent neo-Nazi group, claimed in March that it had disbanded after its alleged leader and four other members were arrested on federal charges. But the group has continued to put out polished propaganda videos and establish affiliates around the globe.

Security experts and officials in Europe say they are frustrated that U.S. authorities have not taken bolder steps to combat growing right-wing extremism. Their concern has been exacerbated by Trump’s focus on antifa as responsible for violence at nationwide protests sparked by the death of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis.

“Our requests to our U.S. counterparts for legal assistance and information exchange in matters of right-wing extremist groups would often be unanswered,” said a European intelligence official, who, like other officials, spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the issue publicly.

3. That is because the rest of the world is still fighting against fascism, while America

has a leader that calls extremist right wing fascists "very fine people."

I hate being the country that shows up and everyone else, who is on the correct side of things, says, "There goes the neighborhood." But, that's who America is right now. We are both the crappy, trashy people that ruin the neighborhood and become a nuisance to all the neighbors AND the shitty, obnoxious, right wing relative who shows up to Christmas dinner.

4. Well, of course bunker boy won't do anything about the right-wing domestic terrorists. He is

planning on them being his storm troopers when he becomes Supreme Leader. His brown shirts.

5. Maybe it should be a campaign issue that most Americans are antifa.

Reporter: Senator McConnell, are you against fascism?

Turtle: Of course I am!

Reporter: Gee, I would never have guessed you were antifa.


KY..........

6. As George Carlin said - "It's the quiet ones you got to watch!"

"Oh yeah? While you're watching the quiet ones, the noisy ones will fucking kill you!"

While Chump is paying attention to Antifa, it's the young white supremacists who are really doing the killing and looting.
