I received an email from @RepDavid, my Congressional Representative, that said he (and others) sent a letter to Barr asking him to investigate ANTIFA (sic). It's almost as if he doesn't know (a) it's not a group it's a description of people and (b) they're anti-fascist. 1/2

If you're saying you're against Antifa, you're admitting you're a fascist. The way to stop Antifa is to stop being a fascist. 2/2

Robert I think that people are using the term antifa or anti-fascist as a fashion statement. It is starting to be a Despicable Me disgusting co-option of words that have already been examined throughout history and it fails. George Orwell said fascism has no meaning.

I don't agree. People are finally seeing a fascist element in society and they are ideologically opposed to it. In the past, it wasn't as open, which is more dangerous in some ways, because it spreads unchecked. Now the US is like a septic patient and its prognosis is 50/50.

Let me clarify I'm in support of your message. I'm reacting to the term itself. I have had an experience or to where really bizarre use of the hashtags is going on from Nations that have little to no cultural diversity, no mass murders and even no covid-19. This is of concern.

I apologize for (briefly) thinking you weren't in support - I should have known better. I haven't had the same experiences, but people certainly have tried to use words in new and "inventive" ways. Alternative facts?! No. Not even engineers understand a tri-state boolean. :)
