In order for this order to stick, Trump altered the charge of "using fireworks" to "using explosives." He also labeled local organizers as "Antifa cells." The only problem was that these diabolical cells are so secretive as to be almost invisible.
Why can't Antifa play by the book? When Trump sent his thousands of armed and masked Christian Nationalists into Congress to overthrow our democracy, they didn't try to be sneaky about it. There are photos and videos galore on what this right wing mob was up to. They crashed through the windows and doors of our Capital building. They vandalized lawmakers offices, destroyed historic paintings and statues, and illegally broke into classified computer files.
In all, Trump's fascist thugs caused the death of five people, including a Capital Police officer. They injured 174 additional officers and caused $30 million in damages during this hours long assault on our nation's Capital. It was the worst attack on Congress in US history.
But where is Antifa now that our president wants to do something about controlling violence in our country? Could it be that Antifa is a figment of our president's imagination? He can attack protesters at will by calling them terrorists while never owning up to his own violent efforts to steal a presidential election.
