24. Its the same thin line that exists between "peaceful protesters" and "radical leftist thugs"
Thu Oct 1, 2020, 09:51 AM
Oct 2020

It is not accidental that "Antifa" (an IDEA, a call to OPPOSE Fascism) has become the boogeyman rallying cry for the sheeple on the right wing diet of hate radio, state TV and Twitter/Facebook 'reality' feeds.

IF Trump steals this election, I would recommend HEAVILY to all DU members that we take the "Underground" in our name MUCH more seriously and as a survival tool. There WILL be round ups of 'dissidents' and 'intellectuals', there WILL be 're-education camps' and 'gulags'. There WILL be 'disappearances' and 'extraordinary renditions'.

The only way to stop this nightmare from becoming reality is to overwhelmingly vote and to make it crystal clear to the MINORITY PARTY and its thugs and christofascists that we will NOT go silently and we will NOT simply sing away the offending noise of moral cowardice.

Be prepared to give all fighting or have all taken away by complying. But make no mistake, though it is often said with hyperbole that each Presidential election is 'the most consequential', this time it is the most existential and that is NOT hyperbole at all.
