Why did the left turn on antifa? (vanity, discussion question)

Posted on 09/03/2017 12:31:20 PM PDT by Cubs Fan

I have to say I was really shocked to see a lot of leftists come out against antifa (though of course not all-- Elizabeth Edwards). I'm shocked because the left always embraces and protects its extremists, no matter what they do (for example black lives matter thugs). This is the only time I have seen them do this, so what's the deal?

It’s a great poem, but I never heard of Rule 308.

Because these are the same incompetent boobs who brought you Occupy Wall Street.

BLM was OWS version 2.0

Antifa is OWS version 3.0 and they are just as incompetent as ever, just with more violence, and people are looking to the causes and sources of funding. When they all arrive on the same bus SOMEONE has to wonder who paid for that.

Good heads up. Why have we not a thing about this guy who drove the car? That’s another clue that things are not right.

>>So, they have a real interest in seeing Antifa go away, really fast because once the shooting starts, we will not care who was a Progressive and who was a Bolshevik.

I think you have this precisely right. They rather quickly realized that they were facing an increasingly angry population of heavily armed citizens, and the thought of the consequences terrified them. And rightfully so.

After Trump made the statement heard ‘round the world and noted that there is violence across the spectrum, it caused a lot of knee-jerk reactions and opened the door for folks to explain to even the densest folks that antifa and others were the main causes of violence and that got so big that they have no choice but to “notice” what this run-on sentence depicts - antifa and BLM (not mentioned by them yet) is an entity that relies and depends on violence to try to intimidate and/or hurt/kill those that stand in the way of them organizing behind the next Che....

They will ostensibly condemn Antifa, while using them as a “good cop bad cop” negotiating tactic

The best answer is some one of the mentally disturbed people on the left had an epiphany and figured out the moral people do not adhere to the radical arm of the Democrat party

They did not turn on Antifa. They are adopting the Muslim principle of taqiyya, lying for the advancement of progressivism.
