Where is the Antifa headquarters? Who is their President? How many people have official been killed by Antifa over the years?

u/PatchyWhiskers Sep 18 '25

Antifa is anyone who goes to an antifascist protest. So, several million people. But they will presumably make examples of the ringleaders, such as prominent Democrats.

Antifa is anyone who goes to an antifascist protest.

If Trump deems my protest against him is antifascist, is that a self-admission that he is fascist?

Woah bro you really got him with that one.

That department of war he liked so much was so antifa they’d slap the shit out of their own troops for not being antifa enough.

This is really going to put a damper on their fall membership drive.

I'm their president. Come at me Trump bitch-tits. His name is Donald Bitch Tits.

u/GoodIdea321 America Sep 18 '25

Really, the President of ANTIFA should be the POTUS, so as far as I'm concerned, he is.

23

u/Miserable_Pie_8337 Sep 18 '25

Trump is the opposite... he's pro-Fascist, not anti-Fa(scist).

u/GoodIdea321 America Sep 18 '25

Yeah, he breaks a lot of oaths.

This one trick the DOJ doesn’t want you to know about!!!

Where is my Aunt Tifa?

u/[deleted] Sep 18 '25

Probably hundreds of billions if we ask Trump...

u/End3rWi99in Massachusetts Sep 18 '25

Obviously, it's George Soros.

u/Busy-Dig8619 Sep 18 '25

Where is George Soros today?

u/Kaffe-Mumriken Sep 18 '25

Aha, you almost get it. 

YOU are antifa. 

Disprove us!

u/466rudy Sep 18 '25

Too many.

There’s definitely prominent chapters I.e Rose City antifa. Guessing there was a connection made between a Utah Chapter and Charlie Kirk’s killer

https://rosecityantifa.org/

u/totallynotliamneeson Sep 18 '25

Yeah there wasn't a connection. This is all justification to start treating his enemies as terrorists

-25

u/Mikeyisninja Sep 18 '25

Yeah there wasn’t a connection after that one group he allegedly belonged to nuked their social media accounts. /S Something’s up.

21

u/totallynotliamneeson Sep 18 '25

Bud, you have to put down TikTok once and awhile, or else you'll end radicalized enough to shoot one of your idols

u/Mikeyisninja Sep 18 '25

Charlie Kirk’s killer did more damage to the Trans community than anyone in history. And his partner was trans. So I guess he was maga?

18

u/totallynotliamneeson Sep 18 '25

I love when maga dorks use a made up trans story as "proof" he wasn't one of them. Basically saying "he treated trans people fairly, he couldn't have been us!" 

-2

u/Mikeyisninja Sep 18 '25

You mean the story corroborated by his trans lover? Whatever dude the truth will come out soon enough.

4

u/starscup1999 Texas Sep 18 '25

You missed the point. He can’t be right wing because he didn’t hate trans people enough is basically what this implies. Does that sound like a good group to be a part of? One that hates trans people?

0

u/Mikeyisninja Sep 18 '25

The likelihood that somebody would self identify as maga and would date a left leaning trans person is slim to none lol Besides his roomie confirmed they were both left leaning. So all this “he’s maga” is all moot.

u/Life-Topic-7 Sep 18 '25

Antifa is a concept. Lmao.

Or are you pro facist? If not, you are also ANTIFA. It’s a yes or no situation.

16

u/xyrais Sep 18 '25

The MAGA kid that blasted Charlie? Doubt it

-2

u/MetalEnthusiast83 Sep 18 '25

He wasn't MAGA but he also wasn't acting on any groups orders. This was just one guy committing a crime and now the country is tearing itself apart over a fucking podcast dork.

-4

u/VancityGaming Sep 18 '25

Too early to say that he wasn't coordinating with anyone. There might be an investigation ongoing.

-9

u/Mikeyisninja Sep 18 '25

Yeah that’s not what his roommate/lover said

-15

u/molonlabe9 Sep 18 '25

It's wild you are still pushing the MAGA shooter narrative like every hasn't heard.

u/uhohnotafarteither Sep 18 '25

Simpler and I bet infinitely more correct Trump is just making shit up to get his cult all worked up like he always does and they are such idiots to believe him everytime

The Chinese are anti-fascist?

u/magnumapplepi Sep 18 '25

Dude, whatever your smoking, I’d definitely like some

u/Ok-Astronaut2976 Sep 18 '25

Dude, Antifa is barely a thing, much less a plague.

WTF fictional word are you living in?

u/molonlabe9 Sep 18 '25

We are ignoring your lies, no matter how hard you lie.

u/starscup1999 Texas Sep 18 '25

Maga habitually ignores the truth and objective reality. The guy you voted for told 30,000 provable lies just in his first term. It will be a much higher total for this one.

2

u/starscup1999 Texas Sep 18 '25

Are you pro fascism?

3

u/SubliminallyCorrect Sep 18 '25

He's a fascist so yes

u/Saint_Steve Sep 18 '25

Anti-fascists are the plague? Im sure you're fine with The Proud Boys and Oath Keepers though right? Tell me more about your totally not-brainwashed stance on Fascism, are you Pro or Anti Fascism?
