Trump Does As Expected: Declares ‘ANTIFA’ a Terrorist Organization and People are Enraged at the Diversion
Furious.
The United States of America will be designating ANTIFA as a Terrorist Organization.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 31, 2020
If anything, the violent protests, the actual people rioting, have had just as many suspected MAGA-heads, 3%ers, Boogaloo Bois, and other white supremacists, at least as many as there are liberal white and black protesters (most of whom are peaceful), or even anarchists. Of course, the MAGA heads aren’t terrorists, these are “law-abiding” and peaceful people, according to Trump. (Follow more below)
Imagine if the “Black Lives Matter” protesters carried AR-15.

We can’t even be positive whether “ANTIFA” is a thing. We know that they don’t self-identify on left-wing sites. Whatever ANTIFA may or may not have been in the beginning, right now it does nothing more than serving as something at which Trump can point to justify cracking down on the protesters, peaceful or not.
This article deserves to be highlighted (more analysis below) because the people at Justsecurity.com are former professionals that know this area very well. They wouldn’t publish this if they didn’t have evidence.
Far-Right Infiltrators and Agitators in George Floyd Protests: Indicators of White Supremacists
This announcement gives Trump more leeway to say that the heart that he doesn’t have is with “George Floyd” while imprisoning many of the people protesting. We have seen all too many in the media and peaceful protesters arrested or fired upon in the last few days. This seems primed to let the national guard or cops actually fire at people. After all, they’re “terrorists.”
Twitter wasn’t even the slightest bit fooled and lashed back in furious rage:
Are you kidding me? There are like 10 Antifa people in America. Meanwhile your group of "Very fine people" are causing violence against minorities every day.

This. This. This. To the extent that ANTIFA exists, it is minuscule compared to the MAGA-heads that have killed, from El Paso to Charlottesville to Pittsburgh. MAGA-heads all, and yet they aren’t being labeled anything except “fine people.”
Now do White Supremacists.

Yep. Except that won’t happen in a million years. This is the man who couldn’t call out David Duke as a terrorist.
When Rome burned, Nero blamed the Christians to shift blame from his failed leadership. Don’t be fooled by Trump’s tactics, they have been used by dictators forever.

I wasn’t there when Rome burned, but I do know that the tactic, blaming one group and using it as an excuse to grab greater power, has been used all over the world.
Still sending signals to your MAGA base that you stand with them? pic.twitter.com/FxXELO6jgf

Self-explanatory.

Exactly.
We will leave off with this because no one can even be sure that “Trump” is making the decisions anymore. This is too perfect a segue into martial law and all that follows.
