ANTIFA Is Winning

IT BEARS REPEATING: ANTIFA is winning, because ANTIFA is a progressive movement, and the progressive movement is winning. On every major issue, polls and surveys indicate this, and in a democracy, polls and surveys are revealing. They matter. The numbers back up the facts. A majority of Americans now support gay rights. Its "trending", as we say. In the future, gay people are not going to be perseuted, sent to prison, forced to hide in closets. They are going to be accepted as equals in every way, shocking though this notion might seem today. Similarly, individual differences in skin pigmentation will be accepted by all without prejudice. Likewise, gun violence won't be tolerated anymore. Climate changed denial, a conservative policy, will be replaced by climate action led by progressives, as acknowledgement of the problem becomes universal. And best of all, fascism and authoritarian forms of government in general will not be tolerated or allowed in the future. Democracy will reign supreme, globally. Liberal democracy, complete with fundamentsl rights for all, including food, clothing, and shelter, will be the normm. ANTIFA was founded during the Black Lives Matter movement, expressing a wilingness to use violece, if necessary, to protect and defend BLM protestors from violent white supremacists. Dressed in all black with black ski masks and assault rifles, a photo of a small group of menacing looking people made the rounds, went viral, and forever cemented the false image among conservatives of a violent terrorist organization ready to provoke confrontation and conflict with all things decent and conservative. There was, however, no organization. Nothing of the sort ever happened. No actual organized group calling itself "ANTIFA" ever formed. And, to this day, none never has...ANTIFA never became an organized entity, but has remained only an ideal, a concept, an attitude, and remains so today. For some reason, the right wing refuses to understand and accept this, or cannot. Laughably, hilariously, Trump recently signed an executive order formally declaring ANTIFA to be a "terrorist organization", albeit, evidently unbeknown to Trump, one which does not exist. He might as well have signed an order declaring opponents of abortion, anti-abortionists, "ANTIBO" a terrorist organization which in fact they all too often are, especially when bombing abrtion clinics. A huge majority of Americans are strongly opposed to fascism. Daily, however, it seems more evident a Donald Trump, MAGA, the Republican party, and the entire American conservative movement, evangelical Christians and all, embrace fascism. They have all, seemingly, abandoned democacy. Trump has gained too much authoritarian style power, and actively embraces too many fascist policies to not be labeled a "fascist". It is insulting to label Trump a "fascist", but accurate. Trump's stupidity, and the drastic shortcomings, lack of wisdom and intelligence, of the American people, made obvious by his election, are tragic, and, in a sense, humorous. The problem with democracy is that it requires a reasonably intelligent and educated public, and it takes a lot of effort and work. Democracy is not for the ignorant or lazy. In order to work, democary must become easier, and more efficient. Voting by mail, phone, or on the internet will become the norm, as progressive anti-fascist ideals are broadly implemented. Primitive practices like voter suppression and gerrymandering will become extinct. Above all else, ANTIFA means progress, and only fascists resist progress. ANTIFA is winning...
