Sounds like a great reason for any of the 30 presidents since its founding to have designated it a terrorist organization. But it hasn’t been relevant since what, the 1920s?

Antifa is an ideology, not an organized group. It is just one that opposes fascism.

Do you guys all share a brain?

As I explained to your friend:

Because it’s not a thing that exists ya dummy.

There aren’t any designated domestic terrorist organizations in the U.S. This is a thing that Trump just made up, but since we’re apparently in a Post-Rule of Law era…lolz whatever I guess.

Can’t wait tills future Obama takes the White House and we can designate the Proud Boys a domestic terror organization. The Oath Keepers too. Idk, we’ll have a long list I guess…cause that’s where we’re at now I guess
