Didn't expect it would. Exchanging opinions seldom pulls someone across the divide they prefer, nowadays.

To do this they engage in violent acts, destroy property, threaten innocent bystanders, attack members of the media, fight with the police and seek out and violently attack their political opponents. This is textbook fascism. Let's ask the relevant question. Do you support this kind of behavior? Do you cheer it on? Do you engage in it?

I don't confuse Antifa for brownshirts of the 1920s. You're projecting the traits of the 'Proud/Boogaloo Boys onto them. They've been caught, more than once, attempting to infiltrate Antifa, dressed in black and destroying property, in order to discredit them. They obviously weren't very good at it and Anti-fascists tried to stop them (at least busting their cover). I certainly don't support Proud/Boogaloo Boys behavior. They want disruption and violence in the street and many of them want a racial civil war.

When and if it really happens, I would.
Take care.
