ANTIFA IS AN IDEOLOGY

opposing fascism, nationalism, white supremacy, xenophobia, homophobia, authoritarianism, & racism. It’s only logical that by declaring “Antifa” your enemy, you’re acknowledging that you represent what Antifa opposes!

Another Rorschach test…does Portland need help because things are out of control or is this a pretext for Trump to exercise power/authority because he can with the potential benefit (in his mind) that maybe the locals will fight back and create the fight he really wants?

I suspect I know the answer of Bulwark readers.

George Orwell wrote much (volumes!) about how fascism attempts to redefine our reality by distorting truth and through the use of generous amounts of propaganda meant to manipulate, not inform. Social media, built to stoke annoyance and division, has been a boon to wretched propagandists. 'Truth Social', trump's social media outlet of choice, is neither truthful or social. It is 'merely' a megaphone for broadcasting his hate and lies. It should be renamed 'Antisocial Lies,' if there is any truth in advertising.

He’s Profa—pro-fascist.

We need to focus on the replacing the congressional enablers who aren’t doing the job of protecting our democracy.
