Perhaps Trump's charisma with his base is his appeal to their perceptions of loss of identity and that's taken the place of the economy? Though now with the economy in freefall under his admin maybe his support will erode instead of strengthen.

Just thinking out loud while thinking about uebermann's peeps that think antifa is real.

i think it's a mistake to say antifa is fantasy. that's like saying "white supremacy" is a fantasy. yes, maybe the KKK is a white supremacist organization, but the ideology is certainly real. antifa anarchists most certainly were causing a ruckus, but on the other side, most certainly white supremacists were also involved and not just the cops

but yeah that guy in buffalo? there's no geriatric wing of antifa

[Kane]

It in no way shape or form can the history, membership, or ongoing operations of antifa be even considered in the same realm of the KKK.

Antifa exists in the same way that lottery winners exist - they're out there but they're not as easily found.

[John Galt]

i explicitly said it wasn't like that, i compared it to the ideology behind the KKK, not the organization

[Kane]

Right but it's relevance to current situations are nearly non-existent. There's no point in bringing it up other than to peddle in conspiracy theories and to use it as a wedge against BLM just like the looters and rioters.
