Current Affairs The 2020 United States Presidential Election

You're making the point that "ANTIFA" which, I'm hoping you know means Anti-Facism, not sure if you know that, is a group that mister second coming is equating to far right groups that have killed thousands of people. ANYONE who decides they don't like how Trump has been acting in his 4 years is essentially ANTIFA as they have been protesting against him being bringing in fascism.

It isn't a group, it's an idea ffs

Spot on.

 

[riddick]

No I'm not equating them. "Proud Boys", for example, isn't a movement; it's an organisation. They aren't an equivalence.

Antifa (yes, I know what it stands for) is a movement against such organisations. It's not an organisation in itself; you're right, it's an idea, but an idea supported by a loosely collated movement. So they exist. When you say they don't exist, you're simply incorrect, as by your own definition they literally exist.

I'm saying they don't exist to the effect second coming was saying they exist. He was equating what they do to all the violence the right has been doing and saying "I hope that group doesn't come over here". They don't exist insofar to move over to another country.

Truthfully we probably got it FROM the UK, They're not a group.

Yep.
Request directly to DOD federalizes the guard.
Virginia governor activating them keeps under his command.

you are saying movement as if its an organization though:

No not at all. I'm saying it's a movement that can on occasion be "organised" on the fly behind the idea of "Antifa", but it's not an organisation.

My only point was that Antifa exists. My point wasn't Antifa exists "as an organisation", as that would be patently incorrect.

Expect state capial buildings to be attacked / occupied in the next few hours or days.

In every state the law enforcement agencies need to be flying out of the traps and dealing with the situation. They'll have intelligence on who to go after. They should deal with them as severely as possible. This is an attack by barbarism on civilisation. No holds barred. Just put them down.

Sadly, I think you may be right. If it's this easy to occupy the Capitol Building, it'd be a snap at the state or local levels.

Is it still going on? I'm very behind on this? Why is trump complicit?

 

[Tubey]

You said ‘Yeah, see though, the extreme right won't compromise with your views either. That's what makes them extremists.

You are two opposite sides of a spectrum.’

I’m not on the flip side of people storming the capital, which the extreme right currently are. But good on you being a grown up.

Erm... you are. You obviously are.

did you not see the bit where he said "we" were going to march to the capitol and encourage the good Republicans?

He's gonna need to start smashin a lot of cheeseburgers to really complete the look.

Imagine if there's a fair few people with COVID in the group today.

 

[Death]

Are they enforcing a curfew on a protest? America suppressing more protests as usual. A police state as always.

This is unbelievable. How is it BLM protestors get tear-gassed for a President's photo-op outside a church several months ago, and today Trump supporters can run amok in the Capitol building, and US authorities just stand around and do nothing?

Please explain to this astounded foreigner, American GOT friends
