Right sentiment. Wrong subject.

The next time someone tries to tell you that the far left is a highly organized, existential threat to the Republic, remind them that those buses full of Antifa couldn't manage to hold on to a few blocks.

God, you're so naïve!

All that's happened is that those highly trained Antifa operatives have simply gone underground. And now there will be sleepers in key positions all over Seattle ... and who knows where else? Maybe in your neighbourhood?

We should all be really, really scared.

FOX narrative over the past week has been to conflate ANTIFA with BLM and Marxism. It has to be a coordinated well funded Leftist concoction otherwise there'd be no boogeyman to make their audience fear.

Stuart Varney this morning said Biden isn't for the rule of law, but President Trump is. :lol: :lol:

They're also adamant that this BLM movement isn't going to help Biden win.

Uh, it already has I believe. The last thing you want as a Republican during an election year is to get a black community energized to vote. The Right Wing's insistence on missing the point behind the demonstrations while remaining laser focused on any kind of rioting, proves they're not what's best for America at this time. This is a watershed moment in American history and the Republicans are sitting on the sidelines crying about confederate statues, editing photos to demonize American demonstrators, falling for baseless conspiracy theories and insisting we're in a "civil war." Their Lord and Savior is writing executive orders to protect large pieces of metal that were shaped to celebrate racism. But yeah, the Democrats are the ones who will suffer from the BLM movement.

Anyone who believes in an organized, national group of the far left in the US has never spent any time with the far left.

Good luck fomenting a revolution with people who will despise you if you don't address someone by their proper dolphinkin pronoun.

But I can't make the clicking sounds!

See the "digital soliders" oath QANON groups did recently that Micheal Flynn obliquely referred to? When you combine their conspiratorial militant fantasies that revolve around organized violence against their imagined enemies with real-world would-be autocratic strong-man leadership and you've got a dangerous little stew going.

“We’ve got to create our own and execute our own militias”
"Execute our own militias"? Well, sounds like the rest of us needn't worry too much then. Though I think they should give themselves a fair trial first.
