The president wants to know who stood with him against the terrorist group Antifa.

‘Add your name.’

This was an ad at the top of the DU home page before I logged in, complete with a photo of a herd of masked-up teenagers made to look very, very frightening.

Chortle. So ridiculous.

They got nothing. Well, prison for some of them. Good for the soul, I hear.

I’m Anti-Fascist til the day I die.

Like every decent American.

Our troops during WWII, (and their axis alliances) were actually antifascists, (Antifa). I mean, who squashed them and liberated countries from their oppression at that time?

The key is in the boogeyman that Predator Grump is trying to evoke as a dangerous threat, (Orwell style) a political specter he projects onto. I wonder if it occurs to his barbed-wire mind that, perhaps, a real Fascist would be very concerned with antifascists?

Trump is the kind of leader we used to liberate people from, if I have that correctly.

they overran Nazi facilities and setup radar installations for Allied forces.

The current "cultural revolution," as Trump calls it, is a reaction to neo-Nazi and white supremacist ideology that is rearing its ugly head once again within the US.

I agree that any decent American will side with the anti-fascists.
