I haven't seen it mentioned on here, but he was basically regurgitating the racist poo poo he saw on a Fox News segment, again, plus a little of extra racism for that bit of spice.

Conveniently ignoring that his district also contains one of the wealthiest areas in the country. Not that that even matters and I'm sure Trump doesn't know it anyway. For the sake of this argument let us forget Marylands hilarious gerrymandering.

I guess if you are afraid of seeing people whose skin color is darker than freshly driven snow, Baltimore would be absolutely terrifying?

My "survival strategy" in Baltimore for the last 3+ years has been pretty loving simple. Stay out of areas with high gang activity, and stick to areas that are well lit after nightfall if you're going somewhere unfamiliar. Also, stop being so loving afraid of people I guess, because people who want to gently caress with people will gently caress with people who look scared before they mess with someone who isn't jumping at every shadow. Still keep an eye on poo poo happening behind you though, it's pretty prudent.

Basic street smarts, basically.

Basically yeah, it's working towards the return of brown shirts and making anyone not a Republican illegal.

There is no antifa headquarters to raid, there's no leadership to lock up, there's no membership to hunt down. It's composed entirely of a street movement that springs up to oppose fascism from neighborhood to neighborhood. Saying antifa is illegal is about as coherent as saying anyone who is a fan of punk rock is illegal.

It's not about antifa, it's about setting up a "threat" to "national security" from "radical leftist terrorists" so they can move towards dictatorial suppression of the opposing party. The literal definition of fascism.

From my many years of studying totalitarian regimes as a hobby, because as a black dude they terrify me, I don't think so. Fascism is always really badly organised. Really good at the violence though.

And good luck trying to "take out" Antifa, I don't know anyone involved in the US but I'm mates with a shitload in the UK. The police don't touch them most of the time because it's too much hassle.

Kid is an American citizen. Was locked up for a month for being an illegal immigrant, his evidence was ignored, he was told he had no rights, his lawyer was stonewalled. CBP head testifies that the kid never told them he was American, which makes no sense.

Point is you don't have to be American for the system to treat you as if you are until they can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you're not. You shouldn't have to be American to have all those rights afforded to you period. They're human rights.

It's weird that the gerrymander was made to include that part of Howard County. Everything east of 32 votes reliably blue anyway, and Columbia itself is majority minority. I guess it was done to dilute the Greenspring Valley area of Baltimore County?

Yeah I know, it goes out to the county/suburbs where there's much more money/boomers and a more conservative bent.

Trump doesn't know that because he's an idiot who regurgitates fox news talking points.

Also amusing, one Jared Kushner is a very major real estate investor (slumlord) in the poorer areas of West Baltimore. A large reason that West Baltimore is so hosed up and has such run down houses and apartments, is because of the Trump family.

Frankly, I think it’s a good thing that the government is cracking down on Antifa. They meet the definition of a street gang, ranging from their initiation process of being beaten while naming breakfast cereals (getting “jumped in”) to their tiered membership structure. Their leaders have tried to distance themselves from the group in name but still retain an element of command and control, and let’s not forget that another group associated with these Antifa terrorists also set up a sniper’s best overlooking a rally so they could provide cover for the terrorists who planned on beating peaceful patriots who just love their country.

Edit: silly me, I confused Antifa with the Proud Boys and Patriot Prayer again! Clearly I’m having a :decorum: moment.
