LOL, the Nazis are just showing their true colors...if you are anti-antifa, what are you?
Good luck with that. ANTIFA is an idea, not an organization. It's like criminalizing someone who says they are "spiritual," or "New Age."
The silver lining to this lunacy is that IF we ever regain control of America, we can use this precedent to declare MAGA to be a violent terrorist hate group, and prohibit it, and arrest anyone who tries to revive it.

That's the point, anyone can be part of Antifa. The Trumpie Regime can arrest anyone on bogus charges with bullshit evidence. EDIT: The lack of hierarchy and goals outside of being anti-fascist is what would allow Trumpie and Blondie to charge/kill anyone for being part of Antifa.
Protested at No Kings Rally? Antifa. Jail.
Said mean things about Trumpie? Antifa. Extrajudicial killing.
Made a Republican cry? Antifa. El Salvador Death Camp.
The US Public already green lit stripping rights away from terrorists was fine. The next will be drug smugglers and drug dealers. Then it will be the mental ill and hey look at that the Regime has been saying LGBT people are mental ill, better take their rights away. Homeless camps have a lot of crime and we should take away their rights. This just keeps going and going.
Trumpie is a giant walking piece of shit, who raped women and girls, committed numerous criminal offences, and actively corrupt. Trumpie should have been in prison a long time ago. Yet, Trumpie still deserves having rights. If you take away Trumpie's rights, you have demonstrated that rights are privileges. Guarantee, another government will find ways to expand the situation of removing Trumpie's rights to fit that government's agenda.

Centrists will make sure that never happens.
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.
Honestly, seems pretty clear to me. It's a blank check for them to lock up anyone inconvenient. If you participate in a protest, talk trash about whoever happens to be the MAGA darling of the day, or do anything else they dislike, they can accuse you and/or the event of being associated with Antifa, and job done. Maybe it won't hold up in court (for now), but that's still a threat that will help to chill dissent.
Last time anti fascists were labeled as terrorists was during the 1940's in nazi occupied countries. So this is a strong message from Adolf Trump.
Also, most of all radicalized gun violence and terrorist attacks the past years have been from the radical right. But fuck facts and statistics, eh? You orange deranged muppet.
"Antifa lacks centralized structure or defined leadership"
That was literally my first thought: Is that even a thing? Is that even an organization?
No. Of course not. It's just another thing he'll use to put his opposition in prison. He's learned from his mentors, Putin and Xi.
He never learned "what NATO is" or "that healthcare is so hard", but he learned this. (Trump has said that when he started his first term he didn't know what NATO was and at one point he said "who would've thought healthcare would be so hard?")
To a fascist government, anti-fascists are "terrorists". It was the same for partisans in nazifascist occupied Europe.
So Final Fantasy VII is basically happening. Got it.
Pretty sure he would've bankrupted Shinra Inc.
In other words, Trump says that anyone who is against him, or worse, hurts his feelings with a quip, will be designated as a terrorist.
So what terrorist attacks is antifa guilty of pulling off?
WW2, obviously 🙄
I cannot stress enough the importance of watching what you say online. They will have an ai search every comment ever posted and identify a list of enemies of the state. I can absolutely see us headed to the point where anything negative ever said about dear leader will be grounds for arrest.
Advanced compliance won't save you. If they deem you undesirable they will manufacture content on your behalf.
i'm confident i've read this headline during his last administration, right before there was a wave of right wing terrorism
There was, and many on the right were blaming Antifa because "republicans wouldnt actually do that so its antifa making us look bad"
I am expecting the same x100 this time around.
Is antifa even an actual organization?
No
Is Antifa an actual organisation? I always thought of it as a vague lumping together of leftish people by ... well, by people like Trump.
Antifa doesn't exist; it's not an "organization" at all.
That's what makes it so useful to them. If Antifa doesn’t exist, then they get to make it up. And that means they get to decide who's in it.
And of course, once they decide you're a member of Antifa, that makes you a suspected terrorist. And suspected terrorists don't get things like a right to a trial. Suspected terrorists get shipped off to Guantanamo. Oh but you're not actually a terrorist? How do you plan to prove that in court, if you don't have a right to a day in court?
All that shit that everyone let slide when it was being used to hunt AL Quaida or whatever; this is where it leads. Once you decide that certain people don't get human rights, all they have to do is expand the definition of certain people.
lol. Who is in charge of antifa? Let’s bring the leader of antifa up here….
Any leadership on the left at all is now antifa. And all can now be arrested and vanished forever.
Publicly speak out against Trump? Now you get to go to gitmo.
Is it a coincidence that he's had this bright idea while visiting with Starmer? Maybe they had some nice chats about pensioners being arrested for having Palestine flags
Centrists are gonna keep throwing people under the bus to appease fascists.
