For anyone logging time on the far right corners of the Internet, this coming Saturday is not just another autumn weekend but the potential start date of an apocalyptic showdown.
Infowars has warned Antifa Plans Civil War to Overthrow the Government. The John Birch Society put out two recent videos warning Americans to stay home and tell your children to do likewise on Saturday. YouTuber A Glock Fanboy notched more than 400,400 views for a clip raising the alarm about the first day of the revolution or whatnot.
Honestly, Im happy, the YouTuber told his followers. Dude, weve been on the verge of the great war for what seems like forever and Im just ready to get it going.
While Nov. 4 has become a rallying point on the conservative landscape complete with a hashtag civilwar2017″ down on the other far end of the political spectrum, the reality is equally significant. The left-leaning group Refuse Fascism is planning rallies across the country on Saturday, the first step in a large-scale, long game demonstration organizers hope will achieve nothing less than the unseating of the Trump administration.
We formed this organization around two main points, Andy Zee, one of the groups organizers, told The Washington Post. One is that the nightmare must end, and second, in the name of humanity we must refuse to accept a fascist America.
