I want to make a general posting
For those ,you know who you are...
I am so thankful to antifa
and the black block and any others out there involved for protecting the patrons and performers in the drag shows wherever they are being held at. And defending women,gblt,transpeople,people of color and left wing allies out there.
Its disgusting that the conservatives with thier rabid hysteria, twisted beliefs , toxic hate and deliberate stupidity along with the deep pocketed scum bored entitled sociopath trust fund babies funding this shit and the conservative lying ass shitty propaganda "media " has made it necessary to protect innocent lives from conservative violence.
The problem is conservative violence and it comes in many forms from bad legislation,taking rights away with a stacked supreme court or gangs of thugs like the proud boys and treason. Conservatism is fascism. It has always been.
= new reply since forum marked as read
because all Democrats think about is Wall Street/billionaire/corporation money, are all corrupt, will stop at nothing to prevent progress and are shocked, shocked! by classic liberal Democratic policies like universal health care.
We members on a forum for supporters of the Democratic Party are all old wealthy elite conservatives who despise the valiant True Progressives trying to transform the fictional bad Democratic Party and introduce usual Democratic policies as if they are new. We are so mean!
80M of us voted for Biden, after all. Which really makes me wonder, not just who on earth the people you describe think we are, but who on earth they think they are?
(Numerically only, Pew's political typology study put those it used their chosen label to call "progressive left" at 12% of those who identified Democratic in 2020-2021. But in electoral terms that has to be misleadingly high. We know that some will often be unable to vote Democratic and use social media to encourage each other to take a stand against our corruption.) 
Unless my drink counts as a screen cleaner. 
vis a vis this OP.

"Antifa" is RW PROPAGANDA used to fool people into believing the violence in the news is from US.
AND by extension that peaceful LW groups like #BLM and Democrats are violent and out to destroy all the good, decent conservatives. Language is both the most powerful weapon and defense we have. We have to understand it and use it correctly for it to work, though.
So something else: Conservatism is NOT fascism, or vice versa. Fascism is an arch-conservative political system, about as extreme as conservatism can get. We have to have a word for it, of course, and do. Fascism is also intensively studied.
The people we rightly fear deliberately scramble and even reverse definitions ("antifa(scist) = LW fascist"
to weaponize them against us and de-power those that accurately describe them. For a long time they were insisting only 1930s European fascism was fascism and that it literally couldn't exist today; that attempt to fool people into believing fascism wasn't on the rise again in many nations failed -- because the mission to redefine the word failed.
Everyone should learn something about conservative temperament and the politics that it tends to lead to. They're half of all people after all; we should understand them. All types of conservatives have been intensively studied and make fascinating reading.
