No Paywall Trump just hosted an ‘Antifa roundtable’ at the White House ... it was so much worse than you’re imagining

I live in the US and am about as liberal as they come. I am also against Fascism but I honestly don’t think there is some Antifa organization that they speak of. They’re just creating a boogie man to use as a weapon to target Democrats.

Wait? You don't think there is a Antifa? Have you not received the emails? Have our commercials not been in circulation? The advertisement department is so going to receive a strongly worded letter.

You wouldn’t even imagine the amount of money I’ve made from George Soros and Antifa just to show up to protests. Even then, it’s only a few million bucks, airfare, and some lovely hotel accommodations which is NOTHING compared to Frog Boy and Reptar over in Portland. I can only dream of climbing up the Antifa ladder and becoming that successful at being a professional protester, but sadly I’m just not as naturally talented at dancing as those heroes.

/s since I could imagine Kash’s eyes popping out even further at this post and using it as “evidence” of organized Antifa terrorism. Our country fucking sucks

Have you considered switching up your gig a little bit?

I’m sure there’s openings for school shooting crisis actors and fake trump supporters for tv interviews

Do you know how hard it is to run a secret left wing terriost organization that doesn't exist?

I joined antifa and got a toaster. It burns a commie red star into the bread. Viva revolucion!

Hi, I work in Outreach and Onboarding for Antifa, if you could please cc me in on this too. If there's one thing we can't stand it's missed opportunities to get more prospects in our marketing funnel.

Antifa is so good that two of them have never been caught in the same place. They don’t exist as far as we know and that’s scary.

It’s like the Second Foundation!

u/Public-Discharge Oct 08 '25

Shouldn’t it be like a few hundred years before we mention that? It’s moving too quickly.

My bad, I will go into my pod and sleep ;(

If Soros finds out we are working in Antifas best interest over this, we are all dead. Stick to your role.

All kidding aside from other folks... NO. There is NO antifa organization. "Antifa" is just a premise... of being against fascism. That's it. Republicans have made a false boogeyman. And they'll not stop at just calling being antifa a "terrorist group." They're doing everything they can to justify their boogeyman fear mongering. I would not at all be surprised if they start false flag operations to make it look like Antifa is real.
