The narratives about Antifa thread

Me, I always said they were the real basket of deplorables.

No, actually, you didn’t.

You had a whole thread about deplorability, remember?

The real basket of deplorables.

Well, every once in a while I see a story about some poor Trump supporter being publicly assaulted, and I wonder if it belongs in the Thug Culture thread. Here’s the latest one of those other things: We must stand firmly against such intolerance. Right? Oh, and that Cetin guy may have been kidding when he supported Hillary. Never can tell.

Fifty-four posts in, you mentioned them once:

I’m not all that impressed with ANTIFA. This looks like a replay of the sixties, but not the eighteen-sixties.

Yes, they’re violent extremists. But they don’t have what it takes to pull off a forceful overthrow of the government. It’s more of an extreme form of acting out. These are mostly entitled white assholes with way too much self esteem for their own good, and delusions of Bolshevism. Shoot a few, throw the rest in prison, and it’ll be over. At least for another fifty years or so.

Now the Trumpistas… if you want to compare them to the Confederates, you’re on firmer ground. Or if you dare, to the American Revolutionaries.

And the medium IS the message.

Careful, Rowland. Keep repeating that piece of insignificance, and you’ll start growing extra-long incisors and gnawing at trees!
