No, It isn’t a typo, nor am I republican. But this has aggrieved me since the protests for George Floyd, White Supremacist groups like Boogaloo Bois, Oath Keepers, and others have surfaced. Many instigating riots, placing blame on a mysterious entity called “antifa” aupposedly affiliated with BLM.
Antifa is an inorganized leaderless group comprised of individuals that do not support fascism.
In our hometown, Daddy Al’s little grocery provided good sandwiches and day old bread. Run by very pleasant individuals, I was shocked when we brushed on politics in 2016, and he vigorously raged about antifa. He was of the age when many children were conceived during WWII, raised by people who fought the evil Axis of power, Germany, and the Nazi’s. How could he NOT know that antifa stood opposed to Nazi’s and fascists? He blamed antifa and BLM for “burning down our cities”.
I left the store, and sadly, for his bottom line, a dozen of my friends and I no longer frequented his establishment. I tried to communicate with him, emailed the definition, but he refused to acknowledge he was wrong.
As Albert Einstein says, “only two things are infinite. The universe and human stupidity; and I am not sure about the former.” Of the latter? There is ABUNDANT proof.
So that brings me to ANTIPA; The real scourge of Democracy is ANTI-PATRIOT.
January sixth participants believe THEY are the patriots. They think that faked electors, stealing ballots, law suits hoping the judges appointed by the 45th administration would return the favor; quid pro quo. They believed blocking the certification, kidnapping the VP, threatening him with the gallows.; attacking policemen grossly outnumbered, proved their patriotic zealousness. All while their bunker boy draft dodging cowardly leader cheered from behind his CCTV, cheering on his rabid vapid mindless Talipublicans.
Complaining that they were “low class and trailer trashy”
The alt-right white supremacists did everything in their power to keep their power, to make America an autocracy. They elected a suit and red tie that promised them they were going to MAGA.
What did that mean? You can’t make something “great again" unless it was great to begin with, and that depends entirely on who you ask.
Ask any PoC if AmeriKKKa was great, and when? and first? You will get a huge guffaw, then a side eye look. If you are black? It was NEVER ever “great.” It still isn’t great, and it isn’t going to be “great again” if ANTIPAs has their way.
Like I said, we are dealing with an ignorance so profound, that the very generation that CAME from the original ANTIFAs? Somehow view the defenders of freedom and Democracy AS the enemy.
Can’t make this stuff up. 1/24/22
