Does any of this sound familiar? This is the current state of affairs under the Trump administration and you are all complicit. Furthermore, there is no actual organization called Antifa. Antifa is short for Anti-Fascism which, until about 10 years ago, I thought we could all agree is a bad thing. Now, apparently the GOP supports fascism and anyone who speaks out against fascism is a domestic terrorist belonging to Antifa (aka the imaginary boogeyman). You know who else was Antifa? My grandfather who fought in WWII. The 14 Defining Characteristics of Fascism 1) Powerful and Continuing Nationalism 2) Disdain for Human Rights 3) Identification of Enemies As A Unifying Cause 4) Supremacy of the Military 5) Rampant Sexism 6) Controlled Mass Media 7) Obsession With National Security 8) Religion and Government Intertwined 9) Corporate Power Protected 10) Labor Power Suppressed 11) Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts 12) Obsession With Crime and Punishment 13) Rampant Cronyism and Corruption 14) Fraudulent Elections
