Seems like some guy claiming to be a representative of Antifa (which isn't an actual organization, but nobody seems to want to point that out) posted information about a flag-burning demonstration at Gettysburg, so a whole collection of RW shitbag wannabe patriot heroes showed up with their big guns but nobody was there and no flags were burned. Speaking of flags, I wonder if the Union soldiers who died at Gettysburg are spinning in their graves on account of all the assholes that showed up there with their Confederate flags?

wouldn't admit they were played, might damage their already weak self esteem.

Slapping themselves on the back for owning the libs.

The only organized 'Antifa' seems to be Trump supporters showing up with their spray paint, Molotov cocktails, or guns, pretending to be protesters.
