The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)

Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.

Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.

Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.

Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.

Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Why does the GOP think “ANTIFA” is bad? (lemmy.world)

Hey, coming from a history teacher, (now, server as I make 3-4x as much) — it’s horrid! And I miss teaching every damn day! FUCK AMERICA! Here’s my questions to you.

3 parts:

1: I’m here to ask a legitimate question, if we all agree, that “Fascism”, is wrong then why is “ANTIFA”, now made the “enemy”??? Is it because now we’re living in a “Fascist State” or, (soon to be) state?? Lack of education?? Funding for public funding programs?? Do not know what “ANTIFA” truly means?, etc.

Because as Trump stated he, “he did not know Miller during elections”: so again, Trump: “didn’t even know the writer of Project 2025… but now a member of his cabinet”? So lie right?

The definition of “ANTIFA” means anti-fascism… so people who voted for Trump, how do you feel about this? As our economy is crumbling, are egg prices better? Food costs lower, wages higher? Are you MAGA voters living an “America First” life?

2: USA FAILS on ALL educational fields by a LONG shot we don’t even break the top 30 in anything, do you think this is why we have “president” who “won again”? I just want to understand the MAGA votes views… and want to know… America is not first in anything and prove me wrong PLEASE! So please explain why anyone thinks we’re #1, in honestly anything, but ego?

3: Finally question… if you voted MAGA, has Trump ACTUALLY helped you at all? If so please give me examples and FACTS so I can get a better understanding the voting you made the country suffer through? PLEASE enlighten me and others!

Finally thought: VOTE or STFU! You do not get to complain and comment about politics when your ass was too lazy or didn’t care enough to vote! Sit down and bow out because your voice DID NOT AND NOW doesn’t matter, just like you not voting put us here!

So ONLY comment if you had/have a voice with that vote please (any vote, not just MAGA).

Thank you!!!

Everyone (pretty much) agrees that fascism is bad, but Antifa is a movement that means more than anti fascism. Antifa is branding or marketing in the same way that the anti defamation league is, or like the patriot act put a certain spin on a bill that stripped privacy rights from citizens. Groups use branding to gain power and aren't all encompassing as to their motives or actions. In the case of antifa it's less of an actual organization and more of a rallying cry that gets used for a wide variety of people with different motives, and it's detractors point to a wide variety of actions or intents (real or imagined) when criticizing it.
