    Guaranteed. I think some are so caught up in their shit, they can't see the forest for the trees - nor do they want to.

    I think that woman who was in pink sweats is the same one who wanted to be let out of jail so she could go on vacation in Mexico. Trump supporters seem to think this nation should be run in such a way so it would be convenient for them.

    EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!! If they do know what Antifa really is, then they're admitting they want a dictator. If you don't agree with Antifa's "reason for being" - then you must want fascism.

    I think many people don't even know what Antifa stands for - or against.

    Actually, one needs to be careful when discussing pro and con of ANTIFA...

    The word means "anti fascist"...

    The current "group * " that uses that name are actually anarchists. (* loosely based group with no leader or directive)

    Those two things are not necessarily the same...

    For the last 10 years I have been saying these white nationalists and tea partiers want exactly what the KKK political platform enshrined. And when you talk with them, they always say the KKK has nearly disappeared and no longer significant. I think they know what they want, wish to keep their invisible empire out of the lime light, and in general are unable to defend their philosophy.

    Wikipedia has a good article on ANTIFA.

    The latest republican line is that Nancy Pelosi was the cause for the insurrection! Those soul less bastards are floppin' around , squirmin' like the worms they are ,trying ANY damn crazy tale to maintain the love of the yam and his followers.

    Remember: What you are seeing with your eyes and hearing with your ears is NOT HAPPENING. And if the yam says so---the supplicants MUST OBEY AND BELIEVE.

    Republican Jim Banks from Indiana just said Pelosi "scripted" what the four police officers told the committee during the hearing.

    That evil old witch, Pelosi. She probably lies awake nights scheming how to get poor people food and health care.

    First time I heard the term "Populist Right" I thought it was a joke. I mean how the hell can anyone wishing to take back power for the people support either fascism or fascism masquerading as socialism?

    It was the American Oligarchy that killed JFK .
    The American Oligarchy socially engineered the American Right, over 40 years, to do the Terror Attack on 1-6-21.
    The American Oligarchy have been fleecing America since Ronald Reagan and they now know that America has caught on to their parasitic/ tax exempt live style.

    Too bad, the Constitution, Democracy and the Rule of Law are in their way .

    Unfortunately, since both US parties are supported by the parasitic corporations, God help anyone who considers America could be improved by derailing their gravy train.
    I include the media in those parasitic corporations, but sadly so few people see through them. American politics are all about money and little else.
    Needless to say, America is not the only country in this situation, the UK probably wrote the instruction book.

    Try MSNBC. I have found them to be left wing for sure, but are fair minded and informative. My favorite is Ari Melber. The guests are well informed and explain issues very well.
    He's on at 3 PM Pacific time.

    And NOTHING like the Faux news bubble heads that exemplify humans that have no character at all and have sold their souls to the money god.

    Actually, I think CNN and the New York Times are a little less left in orientation. There is inherent bias in any news medium, because they must select a small fraction of the events going on in the world every day for coverage, the selection is based on what they think will attract viewers ("If it bleeds, it leads"), and since the demise of the Fairness Doctrine under President Reagan, narrow casting to suit the ideological tastes of the audiences. However, the MSM retains at least a semblance of professional standards, and doesn't just make stuff up--unlike the ARM (Alternative Rightwing Media). So many folks assume that since they can't trust the MSM, the ARM will give them more accurate news--which is the kind of assumption that makes and ass of u and me.

    Fox and the New York Post are run by the Murdochs. Breitbart is run by the Mercers, who bankrolled Trump.. OAN is run by R.S.Herring, the right-wing tech entrepreneur who founded Trump's "go to" news source (that is, other than his own Truth Central). Then there is talk radio, long a bastion of semi-literate right-wing agitators. Koch Industries, which funded the Tea Party, recently engineered a partial takeover of Time Magazine, maybe the better to spew climate change denial disinformation. And of course there are the chans and Q-Anon, laboratories of right wing conspiracy theories, the more fantastic the better. None of them have the slightest interest in truth, but on the contrary, are in the business of spreading bald faced lies. Yes, it's a jungle out there!

    Ironically Rupert Murdoch is not an American and runs some American so called media that is lauded by xenophobes.
