Hey Donald, So, you’re going after ANTIFA.
by John Pavlovitz
We’re anti-fascist because fascism is a mortal threat to free speech, to freedom of expression, to body autonomy, to cultural diversity, to life, liberty, and to the pursuit of happiness.
At least, that’s your latest noisy dog-and-pony show distraction designed to divert the attention of the American people from your withholding of the Epstein files, your dismantling of our Constitutional protections, your Gestapo-esque ICE brutality, and your illegal and immoral military takeover of American cities.
Now, all reasonable human beings (which includes anyone not fully indoctrinated by a Fox News host, their racist uncle, or their Christo-fascist preacher) know the truth: that ANTIFA is not a thing.
It is not an actual organization, so designating it as a terrorist group is essentially like placing the Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus, and the Easter Bunny on the Most Wanted list.
There is no ANTIFA headquarters, no official website. There are no weekly meetings, no conferences, and no membership roles—because for all that to be, it would need to, you know… exist.
(So, in other words, ANTIFA is not like the KKK or the Proud Boys or the Patriot Front or the Heritage Foundation or Turning Point.)
But though ANTIFA does not exist as an entity, it does as an ideology.
We’re all ANTIFA, Donald; at least, all decent, patriotic Americans are.
And no, this is not a declaration of our membership in some non-existent group that you’ve declared a phony holy war on, but a collective statement of intent. We are not claiming affiliation with an imaginary organization, but testifying to our purpose here in this beautiful land that we love dearly.
We are fiercely, steadfastly, unapologetically anti-fascist, and you know why, Donald? Because Americans are f*ckin’ supposed to be.
We’re anti-fascist because that’s the whole reason this nation exists to begin with, the oppressive crucible of coercion that our freedoms were first born out of.
We’re anti-fascist because the hundreds of thousands of our forebears who courageously fought and died on foreign soil were anti-fascist.
We’re anti-fascist because up until recently, every single president we’ve ever had marshaled our nation’s military and economic power to defeat fascism, not to traffic in it.
We’re anti-fascist because fascism is a mortal threat to free speech, to freedom of expression, to body autonomy, to cultural diversity, to life, liberty, and to the pursuit of happiness for every human being who calls this place home or wishes to.
And simply by virtue of the fact that we are anti-fascist Americans, we are dangerous to you, which actually says more about you and your sycophantic co-conspirators than it does about us. We haven’t lost the plot here, you have.
So, yeah, Donald, go ahead and run this false flag high up the propaganda pole in the hopes that your fear-addled, easily manipulated, increasingly uninformed, miserable rank-and-file fall for it, but just know that the rest of us: the vast, sprawling, disparate majority see through the facade and will not have our gaze diverted away from your criminality and inhumanity.
And we will not relent in our daily, unwavering, nonviolent opposition to authoritarianism, to theocracy, to illegality, to unconstitutional overreach.
The majority of this nation is ANTIFAscist, Donald.
That’s what Americans are supposed to be.
