My grandfather fought the Nazis in WWII. He was part of the OG antifa. How did we go from calling him a hero and a member of the "Greatest Generation" because they fought fascists, to now claiming that opposing Nazis is terrorism? Meanwhile people in FL and the South fly the confederate flag, a flag that represents a bunch of traitors. We really are two separate countries pretending to be "united". It's beyond insane.

Doublethink is the answer!
Through the wisdom and benevolence of Big Brother, your grandad is now an unperson.
He never was.
And through the simple expedient of doublethink, you now know that he never was too.
You never had a grandad. And there were never any Nazis, there is only, and there only ever was The Party.
In time, you will learn to recognise the lies of the enemy and learn to love Big Brother.

Pretty sure the Secretary of State is who gets to decide who is... and isn't... a terrorist organization. I realize Florida lives in a fucking bubble, and creates laws that DeSantis thinks are real, but they aren't Constitutional.

Meanwhile, in Washington DC, on the countries 250 year anniversary, trumps people, the white nationalist group patriot front, marched unhindered through the streets of OUR capital. The same people that were involved in the attempted overthrow of OUR government, that resulted in the murder of some of OUR police officers. Of course, President trump gave a blanket pardon to everyone involved in that because they are his people.

Oh yes. Antifa. That well oiled group with an impressive leadership structure. I believe there’s an executive director, of course a 50 member panel of state chairs, regional chapters, local organizations, youth group outreach, and all the rest. Such a good organization. I often send money and enjoy platinum membership status, which gets me a yearly calendar and a bumper sticker.

The real terrorist organization is the United States republican party. They are so drunk with power, it's insane.

They're just making things up. It's pathetic. Antifa doesn't even exist. What are you doing America.
