Time to start mailing antifa membership cards to all your favorite republicans.
Well it's a good thing America has a stellar track record on wars against ideas, e.g. drugs, terror, and Christmas. Let's declare war on Opposition, there's no way to lose that one
A-fascist-says-what?
The entire civilized world has been against fascism at least since 1939. donny is apparently trying to make most of the world a criminal.
To be fair, this is in line with is overall strategy: just go batshit crazy.
Where does one go to find a clown wig and a plastic red nose combo large enough to fit a continent?
All this really does make me wonder about that Fourth Turning theory....it's like 80 years since the end of WWII, almost to the day.
We fought a war to end fascism.
It’s gonna be like nailing jelly to a wall.
Come on Trump, you can do better. Here in The Netherlands the government has signed a motion banning antifa already last week! Try to keep up, will ya? /s
It's so unfortunate that journalism is dead, otherwise we could've had some interesting discussions on this topic. For instance, I would like really like to know what would happen if a WWII veteran would speak out against fascism. Will we (The Netherlands or in this case the US) lock that person up?
@jordanlund@lemmy.world hey, so now that it’s a criminal offense, is .world going to force mods to remove any dissent?

this order doesn't really do anything. it declares that "Antifa" is a domestic terrorist organization, and directs executive agencies to prioritize investigating and preventing illegal actions done by, or on behalf of, "Antifa."
it doesn't criminalize "Antifa," define what that is, impose any sanctions, suspend any rights etc. there's no statutory authority invoked. it's just an order telling Federal law enforcement to focus on crimes by "Antifa" first.
why? probably because there's jack shit they can do. there's no magical war powers to invoke against domestic terrorists.
it's just a tweet on fancy letterhead.
That's the fucking point.

WSWS tend to be sensationalist in its articles, but I agree with them for once on this matter.
Same vibe as putin declaring LGBTQ an "extremist organization".
I'm starting to think executive branch having power to name enemies of the state is a bad idea.
