As an Uruguayan this gives me a weird feeling. The dictatorship regime here started cause "the need to quash communist terrorists" called MLN or Tupamaros at the time they where revolutionaries at the time but they served more as an excuse, even the Che Guevara warned them at the time. The military repression and overthrow techniques where learnt in the school of americas that now goes by a different name. And you can see how the parallelism happens in the whole region. The scene is very alike and one would dare to think shit gonna be sadly worse on such an influential country. If anything in time you'll learn the meaning of the phrase
Nunca más...

You would think a country that is really good at terrorising the world would be better to recognise terrorists.
My grandfather was an antifa. Sadly, he isn't around to show this administration how they did it last time.

Understood. I will not oppose Fa. I still, however, oppose Fascism.
We need to stop instantly panicking over "Donald Trump declares ..." headlines. He can declare that pigeons are spies sent by Martian aliens. He has no qualifications to say so, nobody intelligent should be paying attention, his zealots will still follow his orders, and it doesn't matter.
Him getting the normalcy of calling opponents terrorists is still a reason to panick regardless of him being a moron who declares stupid shit.

About as useful as the War on Drugs, or Anon. There's no leader, or organizational structure, but they'll find someone to pin it on. I imagine there's already a board with strings of people they hate ready to go.
Lol
If Antifa even was a terror organization in the US it would be one of the most ineffectual ones in existence given the state of the US.
What a fucking joke.

We all know the Trump regime is the real domestic terrorist organization. Go give more dark money to superpacs that will make the world better.
Says the extremist domestic terrorist organization currently occupying my country.
Edit: yes where ARE the Epstein files?

armed standoffs with law enforcement
The Bundy clan and Republic of Texas are antifa?
OK so is he even allowed to do that? And if he isn't are government agencys required to comply with his order until it is overturned?
Oh boy I sure hope that this is what helps the economy, lowers the price of groceries, gas, and housing. So much winning everywhere!
Ok serious question and this is by no means an equivalency, but did the Biden admin classify the Proud Boys and Oathkeepers as terrorist organizations? I can’t remember.
