Right off the bat, it’s important to emphasize that there is no formal antifa “organization” to speak of. The entity, to the extent that it exists, is made up of loosely affiliated anti-fascist activists.

That means anyone who isn't MAGA is at risk of being summarily killed.

We need election reform. With that out of the way, I don't see why Dems don't take advantage of Citizens United the way Reps do. I'm with Sean Connery ... "if they bring a knife, you bring a gun" We need to fight fire with fire first and change things after we win.
