Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

They are continuing the American tradition of white supremacist organizations invading cites they don't live in to intimidate people they hate.

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

At least they had the balls (though small ones) to show their faces

[–] crandlecan@mander.xyz -2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

LIES!! THIS IS WHAT ANTIFA WANTS YOU TO THINK!!! THESE ARE ALL UNDERCOVER ANTIFA ACTORS!! The Truth is out there people!!

[–] shweddy@lemmy.world 94 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If they truly believed in their message they wouldn't hide their faces. Cowards

[–] fizzle@quokk.au 2 points 2 weeks ago

I understand what you're saying but this might not be the beat way to describe it.

I think their supremacist beliefs are held in the core of their being. They may on some level know they're not superior to anyone else, but they do believe that they deserve to be treated as superior.

They're cowards because they understand that their beliefs are not acceptable and there will be consequences in their lives that they're unwilling to encounter.

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 83 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I always find it funny when racists are so proud to be racist that they hide their face when showing the world how racist they are.

[–] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 32 points 2 weeks ago

Because they're such chickenshit micro dick snowflakes

[–] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 61 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Racism parade: A-OK
touching paint: life in prison

[–] MisterCurtis@lemmy.world 57 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

This looks familiar...

[–] radiofreebc@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

I hate Illinois Nazis

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 44 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

So, the police showed up in civilians.

[–] Lucius_Sweet@lemmy.world 27 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses

[–] JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 weeks ago

Some of those that burn crosses are the same that hold office.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 42 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Why are they using public transit? Isn't that what communists use? Should be they be driving their private, gas-guzzling vehicles, complete with Truck Nutz?

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago

If we photograph their license plates, they can be figured out. That’s why. They are hiding.

[–] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Because if they drove then you'd see their license plates

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Because they are giant pussies and don't want to be doxxed.

[–] watson387@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 weeks ago

JoeBob forgot the truck nutz at home so they had to take the train.

[–] Chivera@lemmy.world 33 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Same people that refused to mask for COVID

[–] spicehoarder@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You can identify them by their unique beer guts.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 32 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

How can they breath with those on? Must be big supporters of social distancing. /s

[–] crandlecan@mander.xyz 6 points 2 weeks ago

I can't breathe!!

[–] Wytch@lemmy.zip 30 points 2 weeks ago

Fucking disgrace, how fitting for this shithole

[–] corbindallas@fedinsfw.app 25 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Remember Heather Heyer.

Patriot Front was birthed from the anal prolapses of Vanguard. I think she might have been the first Trump death in 2016.

Could be wrong.

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 23 points 2 weeks ago

Convenient of them to wear hats with the an actual literal fasces, the original symbol for and namesake of fascism, just to remove any plausible deniability of their intent.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

I hope a whole lot of these little dweebs are identified and fired. :)

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 weeks ago

Does ICE get overtime pay for this cosplay?

[–] OldGrayDog@fedinsfw.app 11 points 2 weeks ago

That's what the ICE boys do when they're not deporting innocent people.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 weeks ago

Sad that the good citizens of DC didn't give them the welcome they so richly deserve.

[–] KC_Royalz@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

The best way to deal with them is yell a random name the person who looks say I thought that was you,. Your employer is going to hear about it

[–] xorollo@leminal.space 10 points 2 weeks ago

Underpants on their faces -- butt heads

[–] Sinthesis@lemmy.today 10 points 2 weeks ago

They need a modern day tar 'n feathering. Water balloons/super soakers of some sticky substance (rubber cement? elmers glue? latex paint?) followed by air cannons of tinsel?

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 9 points 2 weeks ago

And encountered no one giving a fuck. They wanted interaction, and found no one to engage with 'em.

Best to ignore the idiots.

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

That's the freedom Trump gives you: you're free to be a racist, backwards asshole.

[–] fizzle@quokk.au 5 points 2 weeks ago

In 2015 I would've said this just isn't possible.

Truly the most abhorrent behavior.

[–] Faithless@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

When are Americans going to respond ?

[–] BouteilleBrune@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe after they're done walking the streets with confederate flags?

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago

Never an IED when you need one, eh?

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 weeks ago

I hope it was unbearably hot on their faces

[–] Areldyb@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

May they each suffer an ingrown toenail and a case of food poisoning
