"Antifa, short for "anti-fascist", is a loosely organised movement of primarily far-left activists."
My, how the Overton Window has shifted at the BBC if being anti-fascist now makes you "far left"

@statsguy The BBC are being very annoying. They are talking about this as if an 'antifa' movement even exists. They are repeating Trump's ridiculousness as if it were normal. They could at least point out that there is no particular trouble in Portland ... They're not even reporting that the mayor has emphasized this very strongly. What's got into the Beeb? Has Trump threatened someone with something?
I wonder, do you remember when Cameron put his people at the top of the BBC, and they filled the middle ranks with people like them?
Given the BBC's relentless pushing of Farage and the far right, this says more about them than the general population.

It's laughable though how easy it is to thwart #OrangeHitler's #ToddlerTirade. All a state governor has to do is call up the #NationalGuard *first*, beating him to the punch, and then there's no NG to deploy. If he wants to send in Armed Troops, he'll have to pilfer them from the military.
And EVEN #Republicans get uncomfortable when a #Potus starts sending Active Duty Military into American cities. #MartialLaw #IfPutinWerePrezHowWouldWeKnow? #JadeHelm

I'd always have just one question if someone is argueing this way:
"Are you against fascism or in favor of it?"
🤨
If the answer is against:
"Oh. So you are a far left then.(?)"
