While Antifa Rips The Country Apart Americans Are Doing This

One thing is certain. You will not see Antifa dressed in their uniforms, faces covered, wading through the water in Texas helping their fellow countrymen.

Yet again you refuse to point your Trumpsters finger at and specifically name the KKK and the Nazis.

For DECADES, and still today, both have created hate, suffering and chaos. But again you left them out. That speaks volumes about you and your partisan politics during a time of crisis.

Deplorable, all of you.

Post #20 pretty much covers them.

I dunno bro. Stupid seems to spread faster than any disease or virus known to man these days.

Maybe. I don't know, I'm just making an observation. Americans helping Americans is a good thing, right? Ripping cities apart, setting fires, and hurting people, not so much. BTW. I read where there are over 160,000 signatures on a petition to the White House to declare Antifa as terrorists.

Ok ... then declare it. Then what?

If you're Black, you've already been born with a target on your back, so what's this one going to mean to anyone?
 
The thing about Antifa is how a tiny group of leftist radicals, doing what extreme right wingers are known for, scares the bejesus out of people on the Right. .

Not one word from you about the Nazis. I wonder why that is

I can spend all day typing all the extremist hate groups on the left and all the white supremacists hate groups that in my book are all the same. Or you can read post #20.

I'm curious what gives leftists the right to determine how and what people ought to say and when to say it.

According to leftists, Antifa is a huge group.

Then we can start putting Antifa terrorists in jail for acts of terrorism. Just like we ought to be putting white supremacists in jail for the same thing. However, if they peaceably assemble, then I may not like what any of them say, but it is their right to say it. It's called free speech.

There are simply not enough white supremacists to have much effect on the nation.

Then why doesn't Trump do a better job of condemning them and making sure they understand he hates them as much as the rest of us do? Republicans live in denial about the enormous amount of Racism that exists within their party. That is how Trump got elected in the first place. If there weren't huge swaths of the republican party that were at least mildly racist Trump wouldn't have had a snowballs chance in hell of getting elected. Quit kidding yourself.

And I haven't seen any of them rioting, burning, vandalizing, and inflicting injury on people

Ummmm.... you do realize that one of them recently ran over a pack of peaceful protesters with a car killing a young woman right?

Antifa is running around the nation causing suffering and grief kind of gives one a new perspective.

Absolutely ludicrous. Antifa is causing nothing. They are responding to the literal fascist that are marching in our streets cheering on our president. Who is happier with out president right now? Nazis, the Klan, or Antifa?

If Nazis love someone then whoever opposes that person is almost certainly the good guy.

It's only the NaziKlanners who are being "ripped apart".

I won't stop you.

I live another 50 years and white supremacists would still only be a problem for me.

They don't and they never have. Nice false equivalency, though. Tell me, if fascists didn't exist, why would there be people who oppose them?

On what side of fascism did our grandfathers fight and die?

First, Trump and white supremacists are ripping the country apart. Anti-fa is a reaction to their divisiveness not the other way around.

Second, Trump is more concerned about pardoning a criminal sheriff that targeted Mexican Americans than he is about the people of Texas.

Third, Mexicans are helping a Conservative American state while Conservative Americans attempt to literally divide the continent with a wall to keep them out.

Mexico offers to help Hurricane Harvey victims in Texas | TheHill

and Lastly.....

Flashback: 20 Texas GOP representatives and both senators voted against the Sandy Relief Act.

Where were your Americans helping Americans during Sandy?

Neither Trump, nor white supremacists, nor antfa folks are tearing the country apart. Trump makes a valiant effort, but his approval ratings are in the toilet. The competing extremists are violent entertainment, that's all. We are not the Weimar Republic.

Nobody has ever determined that for you. Criticizing your speech isn't suppressing your speech.

I did answer: by rejecting the dishonest premise of the question. I didn't think you would acknowledge it.

Liberals aren't deciding anything for you. You're saying whatever you want, right here, right now. Congratulations, you have free speech.

What, you going to demand I hold my tongue regarding what you say? Sorry, free speech doesn't work that way.
 
DamnYankee said:
This is a political forum, is it not? I was drawing a contrast between hate filled people vs. those Americans who help each other regardless of political affiliation. It seems the left simply hates anything that brings people together for the common good. Is your life so terrible you can't see past your own partisanship? Perhaps so. But then, maybe it isn't all your fault.

Antifa is hardly ripping the country apart. In fact your attempt at demonizing the left is quite weak. Even in conservative Texas and Louisiana I'm sure there are left leaners and maybe even a few folks with antifa sentiments who've found themselves lending a hand during the storm.

Yes, Antifa is, that's their goal. And I haven't seen hide nor hair of the Antifa Navy, have you?
