When Joey draws antifa out to show themselves, its not really conservatives hes trying to reach. Conservatives already loathe antifa, he says. Rather, Joeys interested in appealing to good, honest middle-of-the-road liberals. He likes them and believes there are plenty of them still out there. Theyre just not terribly vocal at the moment when it comes to suppressing their own extremists, who seem hellbent on suppressing everyone else. As with some of the rancid elements of the right, when the moderates are quiet, extremist voices become amplified.
Im also trying to help conservatives understand that they have a warped perception of liberals, because the good liberals are keeping quiet. Joey says. You go on YouTube and see thousands of videos of social justice warriors acting like crazy Batman because thats what gets the views. Youre not going to see a video of a normal liberal making sense, you know?

No, they’re either afraid to speak up or they agree with them.
I’ve watched a few videos on youtube where one of these Antifa losers are being interviewed without their masks.
These clowns are pathetic. They look like pimply faced nerds, without any muscle tone, who are now trying to prove what big “men” they are. These sissy-marys only assault somenone when it’s 10-1 in their favor. In a one-on-one fight, they would get their ass kicked severely.
They’re a joke. I would love to see a bunch of them confront a group like Bikers for Trump. They would run home to mommie, crying.
Silence is, at the very least, consent. Try this version:
Im also trying to help conservatives infidels understand that they have a warped perception of liberals islam, because the good liberals muslims are keeping quiet.
You're right - there's more unicorns... this piece smacks of 'conservative elite BS... The real issue with Antifa is who's paying the bills - who hired the thugs and pays for their air travel and matching silver baseball bats? Prints the signs that credit the Communist Party? Chinese? Russians?
" ...Joeys interested in appealing to good, honest middle-of-the-road liberals"
I understand your frustration, Joey, I wish people like that would stand up to your black-shirted storm troopers, but face it, "good, honest middle-of-the-road liberals" aren't the backbone of your party anymore. They've been basically extinct since January 13, 1978, when Hubert Humphrey died.
The Dems actually ran an admitted socialist ( More accurately a"closeted communist") for president, for God's sake!
"Good, honest middle-of-the-road liberals" don't exist in your party anymore.
save for later
While this argument by Wafa Sultan was made regarding Muslims, it is true for liberals, too. The silent majority is meaningless if it is silent in the face of its violent, fundamentalist faction.
Conservatives check their radicals, liberals and Muslims don’t, while both of those groups label all conservatives as radical to distract from that fact.

Cool read.
What kind of carbine is that?
Why not? that would be a real "man bites dog" moment.
I’ll add that a lot of not too conservative people are repelled by Antifa’s antics.
It appears to be a 9mm Kel-Tec SUB-2000. MSRP $500.
