Despite the right’s effort to affix the term leftist to everyone from Joe Biden to Chairman Mao, there’s a vast ideological gulf between mainstream American liberals and antifa, an anarchist group that justifies its violence by rejecting the legitimacy of the state. Historically, in fact, the revolutionary left has loathed liberals, who generally support the reform—not the overthrow—of existing political and economic institutions. Which helps explain why many of the journalists antifa has attacked aren’t conservatives at all.

It’s true that, in the years since Donald Trump’s election, a few leftists have, to their discredit, apologized for antifa’s violence. But if the response to the attack on Ngo is any guide, those apologies are diminishing as the ugliness of antifa’s conduct grows more inescapable.

The irony in all this is that there’s one extremely prominent American figure who really does cheer political violence: Donald Trump. Imagine if publications such as the Daily Caller held the president to the same standard that they’re applying to liberals.

That trolling bait Ngo is one of the people that have been doing the actual job the journalists should be doing. Filming and posting unedited videos where you can see more.


Besides, you Wayne and Spence have been adamant that Antifa is a myth. How much the problem is really right wing Nazis

You guys apologize for it all the time, defend it as protesting. Or trumps fault. Trump has not burned Portland for 90+ days.

Democrats OWN this.

Trump is the only person who gains an advantage from this and as I said three months ago he's playing it for every bit he can.
He needs it because he failed as president, he's still failing.
It's his watch, he's in charge not Biden or the Dems

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

Wasn't it you, or one of your minions here, who gleefully and approvingly quoted Napoleon "Never Interrupt Your Enemy When He Is Making A Mistake" in regard to Trump supposedly beating himself. So now that Trump can take advantage of that, you seem to think it's somehow underhanded--"playing it for every bit he can." So it's only good when anti-Trumpers do this.

He needs it because he failed as president, he's still failing.

He has not failed. Quite the contrary. And he is not in charge of the States and cities. The mostly peaceful violence is on their watch, not his. All they need to do is ask for federal help, but that would put Trump in a good light if he gave it. So, many have preferred to let the mostly peaceful violence and mayhem continue.

But you and the anti-Trump minions will keep grinding away with the big lie. It's all they have.

Remember, it is OK to support your local Dem Governor calling out Trump because States Rights not Federal, yada yada yada but when the local politicians don't stop the rioting and looting it is Trump / feds fault.
