    Would like to get some honest answers to see where the numbers actually lie.

    Do you support Antifa or are a member?

    Please feel free to explain why if so, or why not if not.
    I will chime in on my thoughts at a later time.

    MFs thinking Antifa is some sort of mainstream group need to get a life though. They are part of the fringe just like your KKK and Skinhead chapters.

    MFs calling them Terrorists need to look in the mirror at their own racist terrorists in their ranks.

    Antifa couldn't march with the people I'd march with.

    They are to the far Left what the KKK is to the far Right. Nobody with an ounce of dignity should support either one.

    D, I am confused by this. Do you mean Antifa MF's need to look in the mirror, or people calling them terrorists?
    I don't find too much difference (obviously motives and agendas are different) between KKK and terrorists, they both use violence and threats to steer their agendas.

    The same people calling them terrorists refuse to label the KKK and Skinheads as such.

    All brains are individual and may provide a light onto a portion of the topic, not previously exposed and thus seen by others.
    I feel ya,. but I think explaining why will help others both in opposition and support, understand.

    It's not bullshit at all. Righties like you come in here and everything out of your mouth is Antifa Antifa Antifa.

    Only when someone brings it up your fringe elements do you agree. But you don't SAY SHIT about the KKK and Skinheads LOVING Drumpf and endorsing him.

    I'd vote against ANYONE that is indorsed by:

    Antifa, the KKK, and Skinheads.

    You MFs voted FOR the KKK/Skinhead president....

    No. He is right.
    All too often one side, even if they aren't far off to one side and stand a somewhat middle ground, only recognize one side as evil and not the other.

    Too often one side says the others are evil and refuse to acknowledge sects of their own creating/causing the same violence/threats against whoever disagrees with their view.


    Im in a somewhat heated debate with people around town right now because of the Antifa push against a local club that supports ;local music but brings in national acts.

    Some of these antifa members are clearly using tunnel vision. They actively promote violence against the club, all the while protesting the band they booked that has violence in their lyrics.
    To me its sooo sad that their is such blatant hypocrisy and refusal to see that the way they are protesting is the same exact form of action that the ones they are protesting against, use.

    Its crazy the blatant hypocrisy.

    Deep South Democrats (Dixiecrats) were deeply conservative. They almost immediately switched parties after Democrats aligned themselves with the Civil Rights Act.

    Oh ok. From what I have seen, their voice is the only one that they support being heard. There might be other, but I ain't seen it, nor am I asking their permission.

    Hey now I am a republican. a liberal republican. :)

    Its not all just "You" don't generalize like that. Id say most republicans don't really support Trump, but support their party.
    I think most of us felt no matter who you voted for, it was simply the lesser of two evils.

    not quite....The first Klan was founded in Pulaski, Tennessee, sometime between December 1865 and August 1866 by six former officers of the Confederate army.....pro slavery officers from the Confederate army started the KKK ....they were starte up 3 separate times in our history...the agenda was not democratic....it was pure racism ......being against not only minority races but Catholics and Jews as well......Catholics and Jews were predominately democrats

    Yep. I've always known that.

    I knew what I was voting for when I voted for Trump. And yeah, I deeply resent being labeled a KKK sympathizer for voting for him. By that same degree....anyone who voted for Hillary supports ANTIFA. That's how stupid such a statement is.

    Besides....I don't think the KKK would allow someone who's Bi and Hispanic to join their ranks.....:dunno:

    There are PLENTY of things I don't agree with Trump about. You can support him without being a blind follower. I know that's a foreign concept to some of the Left on this forum, but it really is true.

    That's funny....the deep south instituted Jim Crow under Democrat rule, and the KKK flourished under Jim Crow.

    That's basic history.

    I once joined a group called P.E.N.I.S. Public Exhibitions of Notions Inside Sheds. It was a debate group that met inside of a shed.

    Don't like or support these fools. But I can't help who they support, they are free to do so and it is beyond my control.

    Besides that, I welcomed any vote they casted not for Hillary. They have that right, but don't start blocking the street.
