Sooo....white supremacists/trump supporters are NOT instigating the violence? Hmmmm...

[Roland99]

trump is the one encouraging the violence and has stoked the violence

And it is, in large part, coming from his own supporters who are instigators, inciting violence where protesters are peaceful

1. This is why they keep talking about antifa. It's their own people

[2naSalit]

2. +1

3. Ike Eisenhower was the greatest antif-fa general of all time.

We are dealing with anti-socialists. Apprently they are Trump's core voters.

[Walleye]

4. I think most of trump's people are anarchists. All this deep state crap

[StrictlyRockers]

5. This is important information.

Thanks for posting this.

[Unrepentant Fenian]

6. I really think trump and his supporters are trying to start a race war, to help his election and...

And to defame BLM. His evil side knows no boundaries and he's not hobbled by ANY scene of decency.

15. My crystal ball shows Nov 4th trumpie will start something to stay in power.

7. Thank you for this

I have been in an argument with a Trump troll today on this very subject, this has put it all in one place for me. Much appreciated.

9. Hasn't the FBI said (recently) that the white supremacist anarchists are the ones who are violent?

[iluvtennis]

10. Yes.

11. Kickity!

12. The only organized 'Antifa' seems to be Trump supporters showing up with their spray paint, Molotov

The only organized 'Antifa' seems to be Trump supporters showing up with their spray paint, Molotov cocktails, guns, or vandalism tools, pretending to be protesters.

13. Excellent post with important links! Great for reference. Thank you for putting it together!

[radius777]

14. RW accelerationists doing most of the damage.

These are people pretending the be antifa and BLM in order to defame the left/liberals/Dems in the minds of white voters.

16. K&R!

17. KNR and bookmarking.

18. I shared these links w/a former colleague last night. He told me...

This was left-wing propaganda and that I needed to be objective

OH, btw, I’d also previously sent him links showing the FBI labeled right-wing domestic terrorism as one of the greatest threats to America and a quote from trump’s own former head of DHS saying the same thing

But *I* needed to be objective

[NoRoadUntravelled]

19. Thanks for doing this! Very helpful.

20. I'd like Rachel et al to lay this out clearly

We knew this ages ago - the Con is behind the violence

21. Great info! Thanks for all of the links. K&R
