(179,305 posts)Five years after the president tried to designate antifa as a terrorist organization, hes giving it another try. The sequel will likely be worse.
Before anyone jokes about Trump categorizing a nonexistent organization as a âmajor terrorist organization,â remember:

If he says that antifa members are terrorists, and he says his team will decide who and what qualifies as âantifa,â this can get scary in a hurry. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Two days later, NBC News reported:
Trump said on social media that he would designate antifa as a terrorist organization and recommend investigating those deemed responsible for funding it. ... The post provided few details, including how hed make the designation or how he would target antifa which lacks centralized leadership and structure.
I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A. Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION, Trump wrote by way of his social media platform. I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices......
But before anyone makes jokes about Trump categorizing a nonexistent organization as a major terrorist organization, or shrugs this off as the latest presidential nonsense, theres another dimension to this thats worth worrying about: If the White House says that antifa members are terrorists, and the White House says it will decide on its own who and what qualifies as antifa affiliates, this can get very scary, very quickly.
