Russian-speaking Trumpsters participate in the insurrection, express disappointment that the revolution did not succeed and say they did not see any Antifa at the Capitol.

They subsequently appear on Russian state TV to blame Antifa for all the violence.

Russian Media Pushes the Lie That Capitol Rioters Were Antifa
Russian media is gleefully peddling the fiction that Biden, not Trump, was behind the siege on the U.S. Capitol.

1. Why can I not understand the Antifa thing.

Is it correct to say that every normal human would be against Fascism.
Knows what it is and what it smells like.
But mostly that there is no organized group that named themselves Antifa
that I'm aware of.

3. It's a scare word. MAGAts have no idea what the word Antifa stands for.

Mo Brooks (if I've got my fascists straight) even called them Fascist Antifa.

4. If Tяump believes they are Antifa, then why would he pardon them?

And if he do pardon them, that means they really were his supporters. Can't have it both ways.

5. If anyone should be ANTIFA it's the Russian people

An estimated 16,825,000 people died in the war, over 15% of its population.

7. The Russian government has become fascist. The people are like frogs being brought to slow boil n/t

6. Antifa has made Trump rich...
