'Antifa Civil War' on November 4 Was Really Just a Few Protests Against Trump
Newsweak ^ | 11/5/2017 | Michael Edison Hayden

Posted on 11/05/2017 7:15:57 AM PST by catnipman

The so-called November 4 protests, which took place in cities across the country today, hosted by a nascent protest group called Refuse Fascism, will likely be remembered more for what they did not look like, than what they did. Far-right conspiracies had morphed the event into a fantasy world of unrealistic expectations.

FOX, more often than not, is nothing more than a stage for leftist "guests" to spew their bile.

Even before her book, Hannity was star struck by (she's a nice lady and a Christian) Donna Brazile.

dozens marched in the Portland hotbed of leftism:

more dozens in Atlanta:

“counter-protesters” outnumber Refuseniks in Austin (of all places):

dozens in Boston as well:

but, again, fake stream media blames “far-right conspirators”:

(looks like the “organizers” blew their entire “organizing” budget on that full page NYT ad; the fools: they should know by now that print advertising is nearly worthless these days.)

One factor is pol's and other's ability to ID these hoodlums even when they are masked. The Eric Clanton incident proved that, and there have been others. I have no doubt that many rank-and-file antifa goons took note of this and chickened out.

Here's another excellent example...

The Extreme Makeover of Fox News: Analyst Marc Lamont Hill ["Black Liberation" revolutionary communist]
Accuracy In Media - AIM Column ^ | October 2, 2009 | Cliff Kincaid

Who would plaster his Twitter page with police mug shot photos of convicted cop-killer Assata Shakur? Fox News contributor Marc Lamont Hill did. At least until David Horowitz and Accuracy in Media took notice and wrote about it. Now the page features photos of boxing great Muhammad Ali. Hill's MySpace page is also gone.

There are other changes as well. The tributes to Shakur and black racist Khallid Muhammad, known as "America's Black Hitler," have disappeared from his web pages. The articles were saved, however, and can be found here.

What about Rand Paul getting attacked on 11/4? Was that part of the festivities?

Damn...

And there I was, all camoed up, dressed in a specially-made suit that looked like tar paper, gravel, and a drain pipe, sitting on the rooftop with my scoped M1 Garand Air-Soft BB rifle ALL DAY SATURDAY...

I feel so silly now... What a wasted day...

WSB in Atlanta felt compelled to lead their web news stories telling us “Dozens gather for Trump protests.”

4chan doxxed antifa a few weeks ago and I think their numbers are dwindling... also, since the CA files...they have been strangely more quiet... like someone might connect the dots between their call for violence videos and the 45% increase in California fires this season... and tie them to a bunch of murders...

Last night my wife and I had dinner in a hotel in coastal Virginia. There were a bunch of democrats in the lobby with Northam buttons and signs. At first, I wondered if these were antifa youth? Turns out the DNC is hosting a get out the vote rally today. Most of the license plates in the hotel garage were from out of state. They are here to make the rally look well attended in the media and, for all we know, to vote in the election on Tuesday.

That would have been a great Halloween costume! Simple but effective. Wish I had thought of it.

Have we reached the point of protest saturation and/or fatigue?

“Have we reached the point of protest saturation and/or fatigue?”

what’s this “we” shit, Kemosabe?

just kidding - I assume you mean “they” as in the scream-helplessly leftists. And yes, I think they’re obviously already past protest fatigue. The aftermath of Reagan’s elections showed the same thing happening very quickly, which is why the “big” protests against Trump were organized within a couple of weeks of his inauguration since the organizers knew that 3 months later almost no one would show up.

Memo to Newsweak, low turnout numbers tend to deflate the true actions that had been planned. I seriously doubt that if hundreds of thousands had shown up, that the non violent results seen would have remained non violent. Hundreds of thousands would have provided ample cover for them to be as violent as they have been at every other gathering they participated at. Low numbers meant they were afraid to exert violence for fear that someone might have taken them out. After all, they really are just cowards.
