It’s right there in the name - Anti-FAscist. If someone thinks AnTiFA is bad, check if they’re waving fascist flags before engaging in any debate with them in a good faith.
Conservatives are incapable of good faith arguments. It's completely pointless trying to argue with them about anything
The problem is, they don’t think being anti-fascist is bad, they just don’t think the fascists that Antifa is against are actually fascists.

And the DPRK has “democratic” in its name. There are so many better arguments to use.
And Nazis were originally socialist. The list goes on...
No, they weren't. They famously co-opted the "socialist" name because the actual socialists of the time were by far the largest voting base. It was an attempt to attract some of them to their own party.
Like everything a conservative does, putting the word "socialist" in the party name was deception and manipulation. It's like when conservatives append the word "freedom" or "family" to something that is absolutely not supportive of those values.

I'll bet you think FedEx is run by the government because it's got federal in the name.
Wasn’t the issue the use of “antifa” by US “press” to describe anyone violent at any protest? I’m not American, here in EU it’s not a term that is used, at all.
Antifa movement originated in Germany.
That's ultimately what it ended up being. 10 years ago your average person had never heard of it. And your average redneck was completely clueless about it. But over the last 10 years corporate media has turned it from an obscure group from World War II Europe. Into one of the new Boogeyman they constantly beat against.
This was largely due to the fact of the groups rather libertarian / anarchist structure. There aren't any real Representatives or any solid membership etc etc etc. Just a nebulous group that's easy to misrepresent.

Conservatives are a lost cause and we should stop catering to them.
Antifa literally means anti-fascist. The guys who stormed the beaches of Normandy were "antifa."
The guys who stormed the beaches of Normandy were “antifa.”
Many of them were quite literally Communists. The party membership was at its peak during the Great Depression, and American Communists were big advocates of US entrance into the war in the run up to Pearl Harbor. Lots of Americans saw the Western Front as an opportunity to aid their besieged allies in Soviet Russia.
At the same time, you had pro-Nazi sympathizers who thought we should simply profit off the war by selling to both combatants, or even enter the war on the side of the Germans. The German-American Bund held rallies in New York and Chicago, hoping to win the public over to supporting Germany in its war against the eastern Communists.
We had a very real and notable split in public opinion on the subject of which side of the war to support in the run up to the Japanese attack on Hawaii. And even after the war, many American conservative politicians remained sympathetic towards the defeated German government in a way they hadn't been towards the Kaiser's Reich of WW1, the Spanish during the Spanish-American War, or the American Natives.

This poster needs to be on every fucking wall
I'd love to print this on a yard sign and stick it out by my sidewalk if I wasn't absolutely certain it'd get my tires slashed or worse.
Print it out and stick it in the yard of any pro-Trump neighbors.
sounds similar to the brown shirts
I wonder if theres a high quality version, I'd love to print out large versions and post them all over town.

You're wayyyy past electing a fascist, boy!
People forget Reagan. And the Bush Klan. Ole Prescott Bush was connected to the Wall street putch. He missed his chance at US dictatorship. But he groomed his son and grandson well. To cause as much damage as possible. "Mission Accomplished" Am I right?
Prescott and his fascist cronies were stopped by an actual patriot, retired general Smedley Butler. A man who so despaired of the wars he helped wage that he became an anti-war later in life.
I’m sure you know this since you are aware of the plot, but I’ll never miss an opportunity to bring up this American hero.
Yes. Though they unfortunately were not stopped. Just largely delayed unfortunately. FDR playing fast and loose cut a lot of backroom deals which led to the temporary New Deal programs. Which were a great thing in the short term. But as a concession hr let a lot of the fascists go and kept a lot of the information from actually becoming public. And as a result. They've largely dismantled the new deal policies. And spent the last century simmering and growing stronger and stronger till we get where we are today. Butler was absolutely a hero though.
Same shit every time. Bunch of Nazi scientists? Why prosecute when we can use them!
I just don’t know anymore. Squash fascists and someone always finds a way to let way too many off the hook. Let them come into the open and we get… the nightmare timeline we’re in now (thanks Ms Schlafly).
don't almost every us president in recent memory?
In terms of Republicans of last century? Sure. In terms of democrats? No not really. Obama, Biden, and Clinton are not fascists. They are just appeasers. Which is definitely not a good thing but very different.
if you sit on the table with nazis, and even work hard to appease them, what are you really?
