    Um, what does he think Antifa means? You notice how they almost exclusively use the abbreviation and hardly ever the full name? For those who might actually be unaware, it means Anti-Fascist.

    Scott Adams is a fucking moron. He apparently thinks anti-fascists are actually pro-fascist. Dumbass.

        Or who conveniently forget about the Southern Strategy and the great party switch. Massive, massive mental gymnastics to put themselves on the ‘right’ side of history every time

          Just like North Korea is called DPRK: Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. The fascist use whatever words are in fashion to name themselves.

            It is a contradiction, though.

            “Antifa are ANTI fascist - it’s in the name!!”

            “The Nazis weren’t socialist - you could name yourself whatever you want!!”

      A lot of conservatives have problems understanding words, especially words that apply to political beliefs. It’s party ignorance and partly a result of years of indoctrination. One example, thinking that anyone who isn’t hard-right is a ‘socialist’ or a ‘commie’ and not understanding that those aren’t the same thing. Then, fascist… many people seem to think fascist means an authoritarian government, independent of any other qualities or beliefs.

      I’ve heard more than one person on Fox News or other Right Wing stations call them Fascist Antifa.
