The GOP's extraordinary rhetoric about the 'No Kings' rallies
President Donald Trump and his allies have spent weeks painstakingly trying to manufacture an image of an irredeemably violent American left.
This despite a series of rulings from judges, including several Republican-appointed ones, saying the image being painted is a mirage. And its despite hard data showing that, even as left-wing violence has increased this year, it still pales to decades of right-wing violence.
But ahead of the No Kings rallies across the country on Saturday, the GOPs effort has taken a rather stunning turn.
The Trump team and its allies suggested that the rallies, which are likely to draw millions of people, will essentially be chock full of antifa, terrorist sympathizers and even terrorists themselves.

No antifa as the GOP would describe them at the rally, I attended though one woman had a sign that said, "I'm your Aunt Tifa."
Overall, it was a rather positive well attended event. The speakers emphasized deescalation over confrontation pointing out that passive resistance was how Ghandi was able to kick the British out of India.
