And maybe, just maybe, that has more to do with the way your side is conducting themselves, and less to do with John's lapses? Not that you would ever consider that possibility. The bottom row, is very accurate. Whatever you do, don't call antifa a "mob", that's the new n-word. When did that happen, anyway?

Not sure what side you're talking about. I don't support nazi's or antifa. I don't see many democrats celebrating antifa as is suggested by the meme while I do see republicans emboldening white supremacists and nationalists or just keeping silent.
Hell, the only reason antifa even has most than a few dozen members is because some on the right decided they needed a foil to push against.

you know what i’m talking about. the media is attacking those who call antifa a. “mob”. i’m talking about maxine waters telling the country to show republicans “ they aren’t welcome, not anywhere”. i’m talking about holding onto a sexual assault allegation formoilitical capital, and using a phony charge of gang rape, all in an effort to secure power.
the party that loves bill clinton, doesn’t get to lecture anybody about being a gentleman. and the party that loves liz warren, doesn’t get to lecture anybody about racial sensitivity.

They would never exploit Sexual Abuse Survivors to further their political agenda.

Woman named as abuse survivor by Heitkamp campaign says 'the damage is done'
Washington (CNN)A woman who was identified without her permission as a survivor of abuse in a campaign ad for Democratic Sen. Heidi Heitkamp said Thursday she doesn't know what the senator "could do that would make it better."
Lexi Zhorela, a 24-year-old self-identified liberal from Bismarck, North Dakota, opened up about being in the ad to CNN's Erica Hill on "New Day."
"I don't know what she [Heitkamp] could do that would make it better," Zhorela said. "I know that's why a lot of the people in this situation are reaching out to seek legal counsel because of, you know, what she did is wrong."
She added that she thinks "it's very reckless" that Heitkamp didn't read and approve the document before it was published. "Somebody messed up," she said.
Earlier this week, Heitkamp, looking to slam her Republican opponent, Rep. Kevin Cramer, for suggesting "tough people" do not identify with the national conversation around sexual assault and the treatment of women, ran an open letter to Cramer to show him "what prairie tough looks like."
The letter featured over 120 names at the bottom, but several women, including Zhorela, have come forward to say they were either included without their permission or were not survivors of "domestic violence, sexual assault, or rape," as specified in the letter.
Heitkamp issued a personal apology to the women on Tuesday.
"You know, the names that didn't want to be out there are already out there for the world to see. You can't really retract that, the damage is done," Zhorela said.
Heitkamp's office told CNN Thursday that they planned to reach out to Zhorela, something Zhorela said she was already told before.
Zhorela previously told CNN that she no longer plans to vote for Heitkamp. On Thursday, she stuck to that position, telling Hill that "as of right now, she definitely lost my vote."

What the meme did not say
387 killed by extremists in last decade
72% by Right wing
2% by Left wing
None by Antifa
If you look at the last couple of years it is worse.
If Keith Ellison is mainstream, then Sean Hannity is likely also.
Most of what you see in the news about Antifa is from State News aka Fox, a little midterm spin from the Trump propaganda organization?
Think about how many Antifa YOU have met or even know of and compare that to how many white supremacists YOU have met.
So remember
White Supremacists Killed More People in the US in 2017 Than Muslims, Antifa and Kneeling NFL Players Combined
