President Donald Trump said he is designating the far-left anti-fascism movement Antifa as a terrorist organization, announcing the move on his Truth Social platform in the early hours of Thursday morning UK time.
It wasn’t immediately clear what mechanism Trump would use to make the designation, and Antifa lacks centralized structure or defined leadership, making it unclear who or what precisely would be targeted.
“I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A. Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION,” Trump wrote. “I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
A White House official told CNN, “This is just one of many actions the president will take to address left wing organizations that fuel political violence.”
Trump — who’s overseas for a formal state visit — signaled the move earlier this week in remarks from the Oval Office following the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
That says more about Trump, than anything else.
He’s pro-fa
Without the “pro”
He’s Facist and AntiFa is short for Anti-Facist
Makes sense from his fantasy version of the world.
Can’t wait for him to fall asleep in public and not wake-up
Trump Jnr was on some show a few days ago explaining how Antifa stands for Anti-Fascist but that they’re using the tools of fascists and are become fascist themselves.
This is how they will explain it to the sheep in red hats
The leftists are just like us and that is wrong so we must arrest them.
STOP COPYING MEEEEE
Gosh. I hope the antifa chief doesn’t get fired.
Designate a concept as a terrorist organization, and then you can label anyone you don’t like as antifa so you can prosecute them.
It’s ridiculous how far the US is now into fascism. If the frog knew any history it would know what it means to be in a nice pot with warm water on top of a stove.
This feels like those theatre plays for children where the wolf is hiding behind the main character and all the children are shouting “the wolf is there!!” While the main character remains oblivious.
This is what everyone warned of years ago.
The Global War on Don’t Like Your Face doesn’t quite have the same ring to it, though it’s far more accurate.
“You have been found guilty of unlikable jib cut!”
I just watched a video of an interview with an FBI agent. That was literally what white supremicists say. “Do you support fascism? No? Then you’re antifa”
Against fascism? Terrorist
Against Trump? Terrorist
Pro-LGBT? Terrorist
Pro-free speech? Believe it or not, terrorist
You undercook fish, terrorist, you over cook chicken, terrorist.
Against genocide? Terrorist
Glad that you realized now that the term was always used against people other dislikes

I hate this country. I hate having been born here. I hate the fact fascism is on the rise. I hate that people are openly embracing it again. I hate that I have to consider leaving everything for a less shit country. I hate almost everything.
Which country are you thinking of moving to?
Antarctica
Have you seen the way penguins goose-step?
Good answer!

Fascism is on the rise everywhere, you won’t escape it by leaving. The only choice is to resist.
I don’t want to have to fight just to exist every single day of my life. It’s exhausting
Hard agree, but hopefully as people wake up you’ll be fighting along side people you care about, it makes some difference. And if you find there is a country you can safely escape to, that might still an be an option.

Who runs Antifa, trump? WHO FUCKING RUNS ANTIFA???
NOBODY DOES, YOU SHIT-BRAINED FUCKWIT
When he brings in a random political enemy and dubs them “antifah’z leadurr” and literally nothing changes, his dumbass dickriders will still cheer and party while their freedom continues to erode. They get to blame the most absurd reasons spoonfed to them from daddy propaganda and we have to live with knowing it’s their goddamn fault this happened.
Thanks for reading my rant.
Antifa is anyone or anything the Führer wants to disappear.
Anti ANTIFA? That’s just fascist with extra steps.

Probably my favorite line in Lower Decks is from Shaxs.
PAH-WRAITH: You can snap my neck, but what will you do against all your victims? All the Cardassian warriors getting their revenge.
SHAXS: They weren’t warriors. They were occupiers!
Shaxs has some great anti-facist quotes!
BOIMLER: I just asked if you learned how to throw pots on Bajor.
SHAXS: You think I had time for anything other then resisting? Fighting Fascism is a full time job!
Not sure I’d include Odo there.
He was 100% perfectly fine with Fascism since it was more ordered.
If you’re against fascism, you’re now an enemy of the state.
Better start doing Nazi things to hide your true anti-fascist terrorist feelings, so you don’t get arrested!
Can’t wait for everyone he doesn’t like to be branded antifa.
That bus has already left the station.
Remember, with fascists, words don’t convey meanings, they’re just weapons.
First they came for the communists <- You are here.
Should have learned from history and come for the Nazis first.
