Antifa Gets TERRIBLE News In Latest Rasmussen Poll
Constitution.com ^ | August 21, 2018 | Andrew West

We are still all Americans, no matter what the liberal left tries to tell us in order to divvy us up into malleable, moldable little voters. For democrats, it’s one of the only ways in which they can galvanize support for their doomed party. They infiltrate the youth, push progressive ideals and tribalism among the fringes, and then go after those newly created segments of voters in order to shore up the support they need to remain in power. The adverse side effects are obvious: A rapidly radicalizing liberal base that is looking to tear apart the Constitutional fabric of our nation.

Antifa has been the name ironically given to the most outspoken and violent of the left’s authoritarian foot soldiers, and the group has been responsible for a number of insidious acts against We The People, including the baseball bat assault of a Bernie Sanders supporter recently, simply because that supporter was carrying an American flag.

But don’t think that America hasn’t noticed. Oh, they have.

A new Rasmussen poll has found that just 18 per cent of Americans support Antifa, with approval for the violent far-left group having dropped over the last year.

“The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that only 18% of Likely U.S. Voters share a favorable opinion of the antifa protesters, with six percent (6%) who view them Very Favorably. That compares to 24% and eight percent (8%) respectively last September.”

In other words, the more the American people see of Antifa’s behavior, the less they approve, meaning Antifa violence is actually working in President Trump’s favor as we head towards the mid-terms and the 2020 election.

and so? they’re called “protesters against hate” by the media and even GOPE’ers like Ryan and Romney stand up for them in Charlottesville even though they START ALL THE VIOLENCE.

At a Patriot Prayer rally, a masked ANTIFA thug hit a Benie Sanders counter protestor because he too had an American flag and wouldn't relinquish it. The guy whose head was cracked in may have even been an Antifa supporter before the assault. Congress can't pass their anti ku klux klan style law fast enough.

Antifa are assaulting people with bars, pepper spray abnd maybe worse stuff. I hope the bill passes so the Democrats more incompetent type of ku klux klan,Antifa will get nice prison sentences.

The depressing statistic is that 18% (nearly 1 in 5) hold a favorable view of Antifa. What the hell is wrong with some of our countrymen?

One in five = 20% = the consistently hard left.

It's been that way for a long, long time.

That means 20% of Americans have declared themselves domestic enemies of the Republic. We got plenty of ammo and guns to deal with it.

I wonder about people who try to teach effective political strategy to Democrats. The more nuts running for office on their side, the better. Waters/Hogg 2020! ;-)

Antifa may not care about polls, but their financiers do, the scum sucking sugar daddies have elections to purchase. Or steal.

Antifa threw rocks at me in my car and everyone else in their cars in the parking lot after the Trump rally during the campaign. Also at the cops, who were in riot gear and on horses.

Who could be “for” such thuggery?

Fewer and fewer people believe what they are being told by the media. That is a good thing!

I think more people are asking more questions. Even some that it seemed were a lost cause. I have a lefty cousin that was so far left I had to unfriend him on fb. The thing is he owns firearms and never believed the Democrats wanted to take them away from people like him. He is also not in support of open borders and illegal immigration. He used to be so brainwashed about every other issue it was crazy.

I don’t think the Democrats realize in gathering up all the groups- then demanding they be in lock step- that is a pretty hard thing, most thinking people differ on some issues.

He is now asking a lot of questions about a lot of issues, I think he is somehow becoming un-brainwashed. I would have never believed that possible. He became a lefty during the Vietnam War and I did believe him hopeless.

I think he is waking up to the fact that he is a straight white male and open season on white males unless they can claim another group, maybe even feeling that from his side of the divide.

Antifa is a communist, violent cancer in American society and despite these polls, unless it is eradicated, it will continue to spread and destroy.

Treat it like the terrorist group that it is (and its affiliates). Arrest them, convict them, jail them for a long time. Then maybe the streets of our cities and campuses will be a little more safe than they are now.

Otherwise, just put you hands up in the air, pull your pants down, and kiss your everloving ass/society goodbye.

Shakespeare knew his breezes. From the Comedy of Errors:

A man may break a word with you, sir, and words are but wind
Ay, and break it in your face, so he break it not behind.
