you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

Sollten uns nicht darüber lustig machen, dass sie mit Antifa Organisation verbieten wollen, die es gar nicht gibt. Im Gegenteil, das wissen sie natürlich. Es geht genau darum, diffuses Feindbild und scheinbar gesetzlichen Rahmen zu schaffen, um alles zu verfolgen, was neuem Faschismus im Wege steht.
