Antifa simply means anti fascist.

Santaclause1941 @santaclause1941.bsky.social · 34m

An anti fascist, which is what I identify myself as being, is (in the popular vernacular) called "antifa", shorthand for anti fascist. Hope this explanation helps many out. It is "balls on" accurate.

May I kindly suggest the members of what we call "MAGA" is the opposite of what you say here. They are right wing, perhaps far closer to fascism than not. In large part, many of its members at the grass roots level don't have a cohesive identification. Their leadership IS autocratic and Trump led.

Empathy is an evolved trait that aids survival. It is present in thousands of species with higher brain functions, including small mammals. Even small mammals like rodents have more empathy than republicans.

The Evolution of Empathy

We tend to think of empathy as a uniquely human trait. But it’s something apes and other animals demonstrate as well, says primatologist Frans de Waal. He shows how our evolutionary history suggests a...

It should be a litmus test for Democratic presidential primary candidates whether they will restore the White House and DC public properties to exactly the way they were before the Palm Beach lounge lizard decided to turn it into Mar-a-Lago meets 1936 Nuremberg.

We, yes us, our children, grand children great grand children. They must learn from us to be responsible adults. In my opinion some of them may need to be involved in the peace corps, or even a stint in the air force, navy, or other peace keeping force. We cannot neglect to do this.

According to polls, at least 30% of UK citizens would vote for fascist Farage in order to 'stop the small boats' and keep England white. However, the majority of people here really dislike Trump, and I am sure many of them would be marching with you. Most people are actually antifa(scist)!

Dear POTUS, what will you say and do if the citizens of this amazing nation turn out in the millions, in thousands of rallies, that are peaceful and true? Will you rise to the truth, or succumb to the futile ways of the selfish, refuge of anger and hate?You have the choice, what will you choose?

Santaclause1941 @santaclause1941.bsky.social · 15h

For the love of all that is righteous, true, and good, release ALL of the Epstein Files immediately. Forget politics and selfish thinking. Do what is correct for this nation and for ALL of it's people. The moment is upon us. What will history record your actions as doing? Of speaking the truth, or?

It seems to me that you are losing some IQ points, but maybe it's just me thinking so.

In theory, or in fact? I thought you are the chief executive officer. Or do you have a badge? If you are a sworn officer of the law I will retract my thought.

In The History Of The World? Really? Is the POTUS serious? I'm in my mid eighties, is it wrong of me to expect a bit more gravitas from the purported leader of the free world. My great grandkids expect that from me, and I am only the head of my extended family. I endeavor to have their respect.
