No, 'Antifa' Protesters Aren't Planning on Toppling the Government

By some accounts spreading online, the civil war begins on Saturday, when far-left radicals will gather in America’s streets. The only problem: That’s simply not true.

For weeks, rumors have circulated among conspiratorial conservatives on Facebook, Twitter, Reddit and some right-wing news sites that the loose coalition of anti-Trump demonstrators known as “Antifa” are plotting a revolution to begin on Nov. 4. A website called Silence is Consent, citing “sources,” reports that “Antifa … is planning to purge every single Trump voter, Republican, and conservative American in this country… raiding houses, seizing weapons, and causing absolute chaos.”

“Antifa” is a blanket term for several groups one of which is BAMN which stands for “By Any Means Necessary”.

Bamn spokespeople have gone on record as saying “any means” includes violence.

To be blunt, this author is full of bull shi'ite. Totally!

For weeks Antifa has been making all of the aforementioned threats. The threats were published on social media accounts that are known to belong to Antifa people. It didn't come from made up accounts.

Time magazine is #FakeNews trash.

Time 1917: Bolsheviks protestors not really trying to overthrow the Russian government.

Antifa looks like the early stages of the Weathermen from the 60s.

I suspected that nothing was going to come of this and that the protest numbers would be small.

Yea, it was pretty clear. I mean, I’m ready to fight to the death with the Left 100x a day, but if some right wing folks started to call for a revolution to start on a given day, I would pass.

The “right” wing started a revolution back in June of 2015, so unless you didn’t vote for Trump on Nov. 8, 2016, you were an active participant.

Yup. A ragtag bunch of sleaze bags peppered with a few bomb throwing psychotics.

It's been a long time since Time was last relevant. They're mostly for giggle factor now. Which is what this Antifa Day threat turned out to be. These were always a bunch of crap-spouting keyboard warriors but I had hoped for at least a little entertainment. Ah, well...

People can now see that these groups are much smaller than they’d like us to believe - especially since the election-season money for paid actors has dried up.
