ANTIFA = TRUMP’S NEW WITCH HUNT

As we might expect, the Trump administration has found a workaround for rounding up we the people when we do or say things they don’t like. Trump signed an executive order designating “Antifa” as a “domestic terrorist organization. The executive order says antifa is “a militarist, anarchist enterprise that explicitly calls for the overthrow of the United States Government, law enforcement authorities, and our system of law. It uses illegal means to organize and execute a campaign of violence and terrorism nationwide to accomplish these goals.” The order goes on to say that this “campaign involves coordinated efforts to obstruct enforcement of Federal laws through armed standoffs with law enforcement, organized riots, violent assaults on Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other law enforcement officers, and routine doxing of and other threats against political figures and activists.” The order calls for all government agencies to “investigate, disrupt, and dismantle any and all illegal operations…conducted by Antifa.” So now they can go after an ideology. But since it’s now designated an organization, any one exercising their First Amendment rights, in any of the forms that takes, can be accused of being ‘antifa.’ Peaceful protestors. Social media. Mainstream media. Political opponents. Half of Congress. Teachers. Judges. My aunt Betty. They can all now be labeled antifa. And what would be the common denominator? Anyone and anything the Trump administration decides is a threat to the country. Which translates to any criticism of anything or anyone doing or saying something they don’t like. He’s declared anyone he doesn’t like or doesn’t agree with an enemy of the state. One constitutional law scholar noted that the point of the order was “to assert that something exists which does not exist and to make people think it (1) exists and (2) is bad.” We don’t need or want, or voted for, a president who chooses to go to war with his own people. This is a new level of un-American. Do you go along with doing this to your constituents?
