In reply to the discussion: Trump announces he's designating antifa as a "major terrorist organization" [View all]IronLionZion

Dude will designate anyone he doesn't like as a terrorist. But of course the mental illness exception will be used for any of his own supporters who use violence and intimidation against civilians to pursue a political agenda.
We've seen a complete lack of political agenda in the Charlie Kirk murder for example. No terrorism there for the far right groypers. No terrorism for the Minnesota murders of elected officials (no political agenda of course).
But anyone who posts anything on DU will be declared Antifa. Anyone who can string coherent thoughts together into sentences will be declared woke antifa.

What do you mean by "busted"? Being anti-fascist is not something you can be "busted" for

Yes, I googled. All I found was a judge being nice to Proud Boys about a fight with some Antifa.
