I used to be president of my local antifa chapter so glad I quit that job, although it did pay well…tons of free perks and SWAG like brand new sneakers and big screen tv’s…. I just didn’t like going home every morning so exhausted after rioting and burning down the city all night.

The Republican Party needs a terrorism label.

Anti-Christianity and anti-capitalism have nothing at all to do with "terrorism". There are plenty of Christian and capitalist and neofascist terrorists as we all saw on 1-6-2001. The founding fathers said in the Tripoli treaty that the USA is not a Christian country, it is a country with freedom of religion. Even "anti-American" does not necessarily mean anyone is engaged in terrorism. Probably only a small fraction of such people are. Ironically Traitorapist Trump and GOP neofascist's War On Democracy are the chief anti-American threat in the country today.
