    Dems will use this as an excuse to further throw "defund the police" under the bus and we're gonna get Patriot Act 2.

      Anarchism to liberals only means that you engage in wanton destruction of property/violence/disturbing the natural order. It seems likely it is more of just a mindless categorization, a synonym to them for 'rioters', rather than a political labelling.

      my little brother's friend on the school bus was calling them antifas. political understanding in the united states is basically nonexistant outside the left.

          That is true, but at the same time the reason there are shows like "are you smarter than a 5th grader" is because often adults in America literally know less than children about how the world works in a lot of cases. after they aren't in school they literally spend zero time retaining that knowledge, let alone getting further knowledge.

      You can't blame the police, they were all tuckered out from shooting the good guys. That's why they couldn't shoot the bad guys. More at eleven.

      Chuds always claim every violent protest done by them are secretly leftist.

    Just like everything else. The wind blows and that's plenty pretense to crack down on the left

      The dsa will be broken up by the FBI. We'll be beaten with batons as we scold them for ableism.

          Hey listen if you're really big on the no clapping thing that's cool, it's fine honestly, all I'm trying to say is the dsa is very soft and sensitive and not up to fighting FBI agents, not that we could kick more ass if we said the r-slur

      CIA/FBI involvement with this makes absolute sense to me. Remember, the three-letter agencies don't need to create an entire coup attempt, they can simply allow it to partially happen.

    Libs I work with are buying into the “it’s antifa” nonsense and want domestic terrorism charges to ”stop antifa”. It’s insane, the brainworms are off the charts.

    It’s going to be fascinating/horrific to see what they do under the guise of identity politics in order to protect the growing backlash against them doing nothing to help working people over the next 4 years.

      2 years, because they will completely sweep this under the rug, let everyone forget, and get absolutely fucking historically blown the fuck out by more optically "moderate", woman-friendly Republicans in the suburbs in 2022 because they will do absolutely nothing for their working class base that motivates them to turn out.

    Oh 100%

    Q/Trump people will probably continue as domestic terrorists for the full biden term (think OKC Bombing and Waco) allowing him to be strong on law and order and push through way more surveillance especially around smart-cities. Antifa will remain a designated terrorist org and be put to the sword whilst 'lone wolves' like the christmas day bomb continue

    The cop that killed that woman will probably be prosecuted too. Lmao. That never happens but this time it's a white republican lady so you know.

      Naaah. They didn't prosecute the guy who killed Daniel Shaver.

      i don't think so. but even if they did get prosecuted i still find it hard to believe they'd be found guilty of anything. hard to say for sure, but i get why you'd believe that and definitely don't think you're wrong to think it at all and partially agree with it, but it just seems so unlikely
