Don’t worry. It won’t happen, just like Trump didn’t follow thru on designating Mexican cartels as terrorist

If they have power, they’ll do whatever they want. No permission required.

Use racketeering laws to go after them.

That was what happened when Democrats used RICO to go after anti-abortion groups.

Anyone know how designating Antifa a terrorist group makes any difference? What would that allow the feds to do that they couldn’t before?

Famous last words?
Before this week is over, ANTIFA will be declared domestic terrorists.
And you can take that to the bank.

States and cities are letting ANTIFA terrorize. Let the national feds do something other than attempting to overthrow an election.

Very poor reasoning.

So the weather underground was never designated a terrorist organization?

Or perhaps AntiFa has NOT promoted insurrection and domestic terrorism by supplying bricks and organizing riots to do massive damage to cities all across America?

Or is it “ok” because nobody has technically died from the riots yet? Just been severely beaten?

What’s the point of having a domestic terrorism law then?

If Soros is the money machine behind Antifa, that’d mean all of his assets can be confiscated, military could snatch him?

There’s not going to be an election at this rate. If the blue states allow this kind of destruction and violence - how hard do you it is for them to steal an election that happens mainly in private?!

Anybody who believes in America must go to work at your states and cities (including the blue ones) for the elections and monitor the voting this year.

Yep, just like some cowards on here who are always afraid of a tweet that POTUD put out, or afraid to do something because we might look bad. This is why we are where we are right now because we have cowards on our side who disguise their cowardice is some sort of principle.

Garbage. If they are terrorists, and everything points to them being so, label them that and treat them accordingly. Not doing so won’t prevent the Left from lying about the Right in the future.

the Tea Party was a terrorist organization...
How about the NRA?

See...it can be a slippery slope. What if this summer goes real hot. And militias form up...then in 2024 democrats win...suddenly a lot of people who thought they were patriots become terrorists.
