ANTIFA is supposed to be 'Anti-Fascists Activists', but they sort of evolved into haters against Republicans / Conservatives / or anybody appearing to support Republicans / Conservatives with those lame 'Make America Great Again' hats (yes, I think those are dumb too, but it's just a stupid hat).

I think they started out good, but went totally bad when they began threatening to stab people, calling anybody a fascist who doesn't agree with their views, and basically hate the corporate sector of America and any regulation that supports Corporate America.

In fact, it's their organization and those behaving like them which have turned me away from the Democratic Party. It's also caused me to question any liberal views I might have, although I still have a few I just can't let go.

So now ANTIFA is just a Political Terrorist Group looking for a Civil War. We can arrange it, if that's what they really want. Not a problem.

So, what is ANTIFA? ... They're basically lunatics begging for a bullet to take them out of their misery. I would prefer to send them to a psychiatrist, but my humanitarianism is running pretty low these days as my patience has already ran out. Mr. Nice Guy has left the building!
