    to use all available tools and resources to combat the spread of domestic terrorism

    I believe there was a gathering a couple years ago that quite proudly proclaimed “We are all domestic terrorists”, maybe we should start there.

      God damn.

      Antifa means everyone that has clashed with conservatives. When actual neo nazis clash with protestors, the fallout is attributed to antifa, and included as evidence of antifas destruction.

      They include Black Lives Matter leaders in their evidence of antifa terrorism.

      Seems anyone who significantly opposed anyone related to conservative ideology is antifa, and antifa are terrorists.

        At least they’re self-aware enough to recognize that they’re fascists? Silver lining?

      the House of Representatives calls on the Department of Justice— (A) to prosecute these crimes of domestic terrorism (as such term is defined in section 2331 of title 18, United States Code) by Antifa; and (B) to use all available tools and resources to combat the spread of domestic terrorism (as such term is defined in section 2331 of title 18, United States Code) committed by Antifa.

      Yes, start here:

        It just means that they will slap the label “Antifa” on everyone they want to crush with anti-terror laws. Probably will make them wear armbands for easy identification, but this time around it will be an Anarchy-symbol instead of a Judenstern.

      What a hoot! Six pages of GOP scary campfire stories, starring oooOOoo The Antifa. And of course it’s the creation of that pathetic Georgia peach pit. This was hilarious! Well worth the read.

        Don’t know if I’d use the word hilarious, but certainly revealing of their ongoing misdirection tactics.

          Ludicrous? Farcical? While we need to resist the fascist push, it’s also healthy to laugh at the absurdity of these fear-mongering buffoons. They see themselves as powerful influencers, but I just see little clowns scrambling to one-up each other with their fantastical tales. Laughing at them reduces their illusion of control and reveals them for the tiny, grifting cowards they are.

            I felt that way at first, but I’m not worried about their illusion of control so much as the seemingly growing apathy towards it. A lot of people voted in this election thinking that they can’t possibly get away with what they want to, but that’s exactly what will give them the power to do it.

    Whereas the extremist organization Antifa is motivated by communism, anarchism, socialism, and violence, and has continuously demonstrated their commitment to lawless- ness and criminal behavior;

    Whereas, in response to the 2017 violent riots, an Antifa ex- tremist stated, ‘‘Sometimes you have to use direct action to stop it because protesting, signs, yelling is not going to do anything. You have to make them afraid.’’;

    Antifa reduced multiple cities to smoking craters yet the Jan 6th tourists painted the Capitol Building and helped clean up during their peaceful visit.
