Next he'll decree that human decency is a terrorist organization.

To be a terrorist organization, don’t you first have to be… an organization?

How do they decide someone is antifa? Is it going to be just everyone they don't like?

Any resistance will be declared Antifa. Anyone that gets in Trump's way will be declared Antifa. Anything not Maga will be declared Antifa.

This is him outright stating he is a fascist.

Antifa is not an organization, it's an ideology. To be a patriotic American is synonymous with Antifascism. MAGA on the other hand, is a terrorist organization that has hijacked the United States Government in an ongoing coup.

Where is ANTIFA?

When was the last time someone saw ANTIFA?

Who are ANTIFA's leaders?

Just another scare tactic to get terrified conservatives to fear an invisible boogeyman even more than they already do.

Also, let's be clear. ANTIFA stands for Anti-Fascist. In a nation not run by actual fascists, anti-fascism is a good thing.

He is following the Nazi playbook to a T.

Come 2026, many of us will be arrested with no due process and put into concentration camps for using the 1st amendment. The dictatorship is here and republicans REFUSE to admit it because the fascist is on their side.

We have to make a decision in the next few months. Continue to work, be a member of society, and ignore what is happening. Or cause massive disruptions that will get change started.

Sadly, i don't think the majority of the population is willing to fight until they are in the bread line.

Take that anti-fascists!

wait...

ANTIFA is not an organization, it's a movement, an idea. Anybody who disapproves of fascism is ANTIFA, by definition, and are therefore now considered terrorists by this administration. This move is so that people can now be arrested, deported, detained, executed for speaking out against this administration. There are STILL people being held in Gitmo without trial because the state considered them terrorists. That's where we're at now with anybody who dares to speak out against Trump or joins a protest against this administration.

To a fascist government, anti-fascists are "terrorists". It was the same for partisans in nazifascist occupied Europe.

Antifa isn't an organization...it's an idea. So, if someone is anti-fascist, they're terrorists?

Make it make sense.

They should send Vance on a quest to find antifa headquarters.

Let me fix the headline... Ahem.

Trump admits that he is pro-fascism.

"It wasn’t immediately clear what mechanism Trump would use to make the designation, and Antifa lacks centralized structure or defined leadership, making it unclear who or what precisely would be targeted."

Lmao this is the whole point -- right wing leaders (for now Trump, but also whatever shithead populists arise after him) can just slap the Antifa label on whoever they don't like, to justify whatever they want to do with them.

Not that different from the "terrorism" label in the early 2000s. Some people were shouting as loud as they could from as many rooftops as they could, that this label would eventually be used far more broadly than initially intended. Sure enough, look at us now. "Stopping terrorism" has been used to justify all manner of insanely not-OK shit.

Must mean they're pro fascist, then.

He's going to weaponize this to go after Sanders, Warren, AOC and the like.

..And we're continuing our march to 1930s Germany

EDIT: I wouldn't be surprised that he used this as an excuse to kick out all Democrats from government, just like evil mustache man did.

making it unclear who or what precisely would be targeted.

That's not just deliberate, it's the point.

By keeping it vague while controlling the agencies and courts responsible for enforcing it, they can declare all resistance to be Antifa (like their media echo chamber already does) and thus terrorism.

This is literally criminalizing constitutionally protected dissent and then elevating the crime to terrorism.

“I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated"

Proof positive that he doesn't know how the law works, since funding a designated terrorist organization is already deemed a crime and thus investigated 🙄

Trump is a child rapist

Anti antifa = pro fascism

Is this admitting now that they are straight up fascists?

They are doing this so they can call any protests antifa and arrest you, call you antifa and a terrorist, then hold you without trial indefinitely.

It wasn’t immediately clear what mechanism Trump would use to make the designation, and Antifa lacks centralized structure or defined leadership, making it unclear who or what precisely would be targeted.

Honestly, seems pretty clear to me. It's a blank check for them to lock up anyone inconvenient. If you participate in a protest, talk trash about whoever happens to be the MAGA darling of the day, or do anything else they dislike, they can accuse you and/or the event of being associated with Antifa, and job done. Maybe it won't hold up in court (for now), but that's still a threat that will help to chill dissent.

This is the pretext they will use to start disappearing democrats. Under the PATRIOT act, someone that is designated a terrorist can be held without charges, indefinitely; and in most cases so far, be subject to torture. All the extraordinary renditions throughout the 2000s were done under this pretext. The best part is, once someone says you’re a terrorist, that’s it! No evidence needed because the protections of the law no longer apply to you, so no due process or habeas corpus. They’ll just disappear you, and it will 100% be legal.

So being Anti Fascist is now a terrorist org? Fuck you Trump , goddamn pedophile rapist. I say Trump administration as terrorist organization.

Centrists are gonna keep throwing people under the bus to appease fascists.

Dear US frogs, the water is boiling. If you have the possibility to either leave or organize armed resistance, you should do it fast. Your window of opportunity is about to close.

What's really bad about this is that the moment you are officially labelled by the government as a terrorist they can violate any rights you have

Antifa is so 2016 dude, it doesn't exist anymore.

It's another distraction for his base to not realize they are being screwed so royally by their daddy trump.

You can't just declare random people who hate Nazis a terrorist group and then ignore proud boys, the KKK, and MAGA.

Well in this case I hope they can’t legally claim to not be fascist anymore.

Is Antifa an actual organisation? I always thought of it as a vague lumping together of leftish people by ... well, by people like Trump.

Good luck with that. ANTIFA is an idea, not an organization. It's like criminalizing someone who says they are "spiritual," or "New Age."

The silver lining to this lunacy is that IF we ever regain control of America, we can use this precedent to declare MAGA to be a violent terrorist hate group, and prohibit it, and arrest anyone who tries to revive it.

Is the organization in the room with us right now?

"Antifa lacks centralized structure or defined leadership"

That was literally my first thought: Is that even a thing? Is that even an organization?

No. Of course not. It's just another thing he'll use to put his opposition in prison. He's learned from his mentors, Putin and Xi.

He never learned "what NATO is" or "that healthcare is so hard", but he learned this. (Trump has said that when he started his first term he didn't know what NATO was and at one point he said "who would've thought healthcare would be so hard?")
