Antifa - Antifa. why is it every time someone was protesting against Trump, racism etc it was always Antifa. But now

not much is heard by the klan about the Antifa. Did they project too much. Did it finally seem to mean that the public learned that the FA in antifa stood for FAcist. So then the ones protesting were against facists. So the facists were the racist tiki torch bearers in a lot of peoples minds now.

They're spending tens of millions on anti-trans ads. Here in Central TX, it's about all Cruz and Trump-supporting PACs have been running.

Of course, the GOP has always been anti-trans, but for whatever reason, that's become their focus.

3. Dem candidates should try to get ahead of this and ask, early in the process, "Who's going to be your enemy this time".

4. Antifa? Pffffttt! I want to know what happened to the New Black Panther Party

Weren't they supposed to have a squad of goons on every corner? In 2009? I was promised a black goon squad, and I DID NOT GET IT! And where are my f-ing taco trucks!? I actually wanted those.

Hell, I'm old enough to remember that Bill Clinton was supposed to invite the communist Chinese army to occupy us while wearing blue UN helmets, yet my command of Chinese is still limited to a common greeting and some menu items. And I learned the greeting from a Japanese cartoon.

This is why I'm a Democrat. Republican promise all sorts of spectacular shit but never deliver!




Oh, just in case anyone needs it...

5. Every election season, there's a new boogeyman, or a recycled one. I don't believe that trump has gained any significant

support from black folks. But there are some bigoted folks, against immigration. I remind them that all they did this election cycle, is sub out black folks for immigrants. In 2020, after the BLM protests, it was black folks who were the invaders. trump was telling white women, black folks would be invading the suburbs and he was stopping them.

If they had any policies that were palatable to anyone outside their base, they wouldn't have to run on fear.

Are they the "great beast" type like in Game of Thrones? Or the "ancient menace" type like Smaug in "The Hobbit"?

I mean, you don't get that deep into fantasyland without dragons being involved somewhere.
