President Donald Trump said he is designating the far-left anti-fascism movement Antifa as a terrorist organization, announcing the move on his Truth Social platform in the early hours of Thursday morning UK time.

It wasn’t immediately clear what mechanism Trump would use to make the designation, and Antifa lacks centralized structure or defined leadership, making it unclear who or what precisely would be targeted.

“I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A. Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION,” Trump wrote. “I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

A White House official told CNN, “This is just one of many actions the president will take to address left wing organizations that fuel political violence.”

Trump — who’s overseas for a formal state visit — signaled the move earlier this week in remarks from the Oval Office following the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Good luck with that. ANTIFA is an idea, not an organization. It's like criminalizing someone who says they are "spiritual," or "New Age."

The silver lining to this lunacy is that IF we ever regain control of America, we can use this precedent to declare MAGA to be a violent terrorist hate group, and prohibit it, and arrest anyone who tries to revive it.

That's the point, anyone can be part of Antifa. The Trumpie Regime can arrest anyone on bogus charges with bullshit evidence. EDIT: The lack of hierarchy and goals outside of being anti-fascist is what would allow Trumpie and Blondie to charge/kill anyone for being part of Antifa.

Protested at No Kings Rally? Antifa. Jail.
Said mean things about Trumpie? Antifa. Extrajudicial killing.
Made a Republican cry? Antifa. El Salvador Death Camp.

The US Public already green lit stripping rights away from terrorists was fine. The next will be drug smugglers and drug dealers. Then it will be the mental ill and hey look at that the Regime has been saying LGBT people are mental ill, better take their rights away. Homeless camps have a lot of crime and we should take away their rights. This just keeps going and going.

Trumpie is a giant walking piece of shit, who raped women and girls, committed numerous criminal offences, and actively corrupt. Trumpie should have been in prison a long time ago. Yet, Trumpie still deserves having rights. If you take away Trumpie's rights, you have demonstrated that rights are privileges. Guarantee, another government will find ways to expand the situation of removing Trumpie's rights to fit that government's agenda.

The silver lining to this lunacy is that IF we ever regain control of America, we can use this precedent to declare MAGA to be a violent terrorist hate group, and prohibit it, and arrest anyone who tries to revive it.

Centrists will make sure that never happens.

Maybe, but at the same time a Centrist arguably just added more holes to Charlie Kirk.

His steam handle was donaldtrump, and no progressive would want to be associated with that scumbag, even ironically.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 9 points 6 days ago

The guy wasn't a Centrist. Frankly, we don't know what he is. The only information we get comes from Chameleon Patel's DOJ, which has negative credibility/ integrity. I literally don't believe a single word they announce. I assume literally EVERYTHING they say contains lies.

ooo i just thought up a "perfectly inoffensive" one

ANTIFA is an idea

This is what is confusing the obese orange cunt, he has no idea what an idea is.
He's never had an idea, they've only ever been spoon fed to him by his cronies and, obviously, putin/russian handlers.

Just like democrats and Biden used the SCOTUS' ruling on presidential immunity to assassinate Trump?

It’s like criminalizing someone who says they are “spiritual,” or “New Age.”

In fairness we should probably consider this
