I think it's time to stop using the contraction, and start using the full term, in all cases.

"Trump signs order targeting the anti-fascist movement", is far more illustrative of what he's actually trying to accomplish with this declaration.

Say it plainly. Anyone who stands against fascism, is now considered a terrorist, in the United States.

Pro-fascist trump signs order targeting anti-fascists!

Come on you feckless shits it can be evident easily and people can understand it plainly.

So there is no "domestic terrorist org" designation under law, the feds can already go after people for illegal activities, and antifa isn't a group with leaders or members to dismantle.

Sounds like more meaningless intimidation. Like superfluous name changes and gold-painted decor, it's all meant to prop him up as the cheap dime-store dictator he is.

Release the Epstein files, Donald.

Mr. Trump’s order said that he was declaring antifa a “domestic terrorist organization” — a designation that does not actually exist under U.S. law

Here's the problem with just saying he can't do that, it doesn't matter if he can't when he already did. To his cult, that's all it takes, legal doesn't matter, only that Trump said so.

So, would that include any WWII vets?

Targeting people who DO NOT LIKE FASCISM.

That should really tell you something.

So the lemmy.world mods are safe, and will now—because laws and rules—begin to silence all anti-fascist comments…

@jordanlund@lemmy.world, you gonna break the law, support fascism, or quit?

If you are anti-antifa, that means you're fa.

a) conservative vocabulary is just repeating what others say

b) people call them fascist, therefore they will call others fascist back

c) they will call the next Democratic admin fascists (assuming there's still elections) which would let you target conservatives for being antifa terrorists

I know it's all BS and unlikely to work that way but hey

Imagine thinking signing a piece of paper with a series of open faced triangles Thanos snaps an idea out of existence.

A fat guy signed a paper, who cares? It has no legal weight other than, directing the fascist beura of Investigation, to do what it's been doing for 100 years, targeting leftwing activists and militias. I put more weight in the constitution and the founding fathers rather than these fat ducks.

While in an alternate universe where Kamala Harris and Democrats won the 2024 elections, it's 'Harris Signs Order Targeting Maga Movement"

Guy who likes to shake his fists at windmills also likes to tilt at them...

Terrorism is when you don't support fascism.
