In reply to the discussion: non-appearance of antifascists on Jan. 6 played a critical role in the failure of Trump's coup [View all]2Gingersnaps
(1,000 posts)I will always be convinced that these right wing extremist groups were going around the country attacking BLM and what appeared to me to be extensions of the Occupy Wall Street movement that the wingers just referred to as "antifa."
Attacking peaceful protesters to discredit any type of "leftist" movement. And sure, I do remember those posts, might even have posted a few myself saying "don't give them an excuse." BLM marched past my house here in Columbus, OH. They were on the sidewalk, they were polite and orderly, no problems. Some protests were met with tear gas and rubber bullets and the city is just now facing the charges of "over reacting."
From Charlottesville on this looked like a Brownshirt movement, and it just happened to culminate when he tried to use it in a larger plan to overthrow an election he lost. But this coup is not over, the "false flag" operation (every accusation a confession) at the Pride event in Idaho turned out to be a farce of epic proportions. Their fifteen minutes are up.
