Donald Trump’s challenge on August 15 — “what about the alt-left” — has stirred silly arguments. Claiming there is no “alt-left” because no one calls themselves “alt-left,” ignores the long, colorful history of political nicknaming. And claiming there is no “alt-left” because all leftists hate Neo-Nazis mistakenly defines the “alt-” modifier as being about racism not fanaticism. With 100 goons from the Left having attacked peaceful demonstrators from the Right as recently as this Sunday afternoon in Berkeley, we must stop viewing the growing epidemic of political brutality through myopic, partisan lenses. The real question remains: Is “alt-left” a useful term?

Sure you got the correct source for that excerpt?
Los Angeles Times (Via Yahoo) also calling Antifa “THUGS”:

Ummm, the Communists killed 7 million Ukrainians by starving them to death... but who's counting...
stunned. Time prints what is in essence a defense of Trump.
That LA Times article calls Antifa “THUGS” but then smacks itself in the face by claiming Pres. Trump was wrong to equate both sides in Charlottesville, because one was racist and the other was anti-racist even though the anti-racist side was the one beating people up. Guess the Times fired its “logic” editor.
Gee, poll numbers must be in and it must be horrible for dems after protecting and supporting antifa for them to turn on them now.
“Ummm, the Communists killed 7 million Ukrainians by starving them to death... but who’s counting...”
If I were counting, I’d say that the number I’ve heard most often is 20 million. But who’s counting?
If you have gone on line these last two weeks you have gotten a history lesson all over the internet of Nazi’s, KKK and Antifa. Not good for dems.
7 to 10 million...
And then after the war the Ukrainian Germans who had been unable to leave Stalin’s control since his ban on emigration in 1929 were either deported to Siberia by the Red Army or sent to the Reich by the Nazis. When the war ended, ethnic German Ukrainians found in Allied-occupied Germany, etc., were rounded up by the Allies and forcibly repatriated to Russia, where they were sent to the gulags.
Allow the legal formation of anti-ANTIFA vigilante militas , with a shoot to kill permission .
Antifa = terrorists. Should simply refer to them as Antifa terrorists. They are Democratic-inspired and Democratic-defended.
Leftist hate the term alt left. It’s awesome. Make sure you include BLM with Antifa in it.
>If I were counting, I’d say that the number I’ve heard most often is 20 million. But who’s counting?
I’ve talked to people who told me the they got what they deserved. Hence my tagline.
I prefer Ctrl-Left
‘Rats are afraid that their minions will turn on them.
yep get called that the other day off an aging , rich mother , and when I asked her to define fascism she could not and said she is not having this conversation with me.
Are all of those liberals, including Time, the LA Times, the mayor of Berkeley, and Nancy Pelosi, who are now calling Antifa thugs, racists? If Trump was a racist for putting part of the blame for Charlottesville on Anfifa, then those liberals must be racists also. If Trump was deplorable, so are they.
