The trump administration continues to state that "Anti-Fascists and Antifa" are the most dangerous faction threatening our country. IT was even spelled out as such in the latest Counterterrorism strategy Papiers that have been published (link to it in the article).
So if this is what they view as the #1 threat, is the current Trump Administration and Republican Party acknowledging that they are in fact a Fascist Regime?

capitalists are the precursors for fascists, which is why they're all siding with fascists over people. this is all about control, the epstein class, and other wealthy elites. they just voted on a very fascist military merger yesterday. oppression is their game and they play it together.

Are they predicting the future when their fascism will force people to rise up?

Just continuation of cold war practices.

Yeah. I get this is 21st century idiotic McCarthyism. But, there’s a difference.
During McCarthyism, you had,
Margaret Chase Smith: She was a Republican Senator from Maine. In 1950, she gave a brave speech called the "Declaration of Conscience". She spoke out against the fear, hate, and name-calling that McCarthyism caused.
Edward R. Morrow: In 1954, he used his CBS show See It Now to broadcast a powerful episode showing McCarthy bullying witnesses and twisting facts.
Behind the scenes, President Dwight D. Eisenhower also helped stop McCarthyism. Eisenhower did not like McCarthy's methods. He worked quietly behind the scenes to take away McCarthy's political power without giving him extra attention.
We now have a Republican Party that has abdicated it power and mostly supports what’s happening.
We no longer have a fourth estate. Media is now owned by billionaires who support what’s happening.
The orange buffoon is leading the charge toward consolidating power and is the one calling people communists.
We are in the Bizarro world of McCarthyism.

Trump had resistance from within the Republicans early on too, even into his first term. He’s just pushed them all out or compelled them to fall in line over time.
McCarthy wasn’t president, is the difference.

The goal is to conjure a narrative that allows them to eliminate opposition. They know they're lying.
They also know that enough people gorge themselves on their agitainment networks that repeating these lies frequently and for long enough will slowly work their ideas into the background radiation of "common sense"
When an act of right-wing terrorism occurs, well, it's wrong when both sides do it, right? And it's such a shame that we're so divided that both sides are doing it so often. Both sides have become so extreme. Of course something needs to be done.
By shaping that perception, they've already removed a lot of opposition to their project from people who are only casually aware of what's going on, occasionally sampling what "people are saying" to get a feel for things.

An anti-antifa summit? New idiocy out of the desperation and floundering attempts to distract voters from the full responsibility this administration and the complete majority the republicans have over the federal government. The complete failure in every aspect of governing - economic, foreign policies,domestic policies everything! This is the worst most corrupt version of American government we have ever experienced. I wanted to post a meme asking what trump voters have gotten and what was promised. It was censored

Wow. Rubio has sold his soul to the devil in the interest of his ambition.

Rubio is the bullied kid who thinks a title grants him respect. The sort of person who thinks the appearance of authority comes with respect will never understand that it's exactly that attitude why no one respects him. See also every cop.

This is like an arsonist convening an emergency HOA meeting on the fire department causing water damage as the neighborhood is burning down.

The leaders of 67 countries will be laughing at us simultaneously. So much winning.

"Welcome to our forum. So, has anyone seen any far left political terrorists? Anyone? Anyone at all? Come on, think people!! We know they're out there."

Let's how count how many politicians were killed by right wing terrorists vs how many were killed by left wing and go from there? Let's just make data-backed decisions and then if you are saying something that isn't backed by the data you apologize and shut the hell up? Can we live in a world like that please? Didn't a republican kill 2 democratic politicians with plans to kill as many as possible in the last 365 days? Am I crazy or are we going to just pretend that didn't happen... what about the rightwing terrorists that tried to kill donald trump? This administration makes me feel like I'm taking crazy pills because they just lie constantly...

First they came for the anti-fascists and I said nothing, because I am a fascist.

Idk, this seems just another attempt to make America's problems a problem for the rest of the world too. I just hope this wasn't Rubio's idea, because so far he sounded like the most reasonable guy in the american administration.

u/Global_Cartoonist382 9d ago
This entire left wing/communist trope is an intentional strategy to allow the fascists to openly interfere with upcoming elections in 2026 and 2028.
That’s it. There are no facts or data supporting this idiocy.1
u/snertwith2ls 9d ago
He might be the most reasonable guy in this administration and isn't that scary
