Fascism vs. Anti-fascism 101

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.
