Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

I think people NEED to be using the root-guru of the Christians, benJoseph, as THE leader of Antifa:
He was woke.
He was socialist.

Acts 4: "32 All the many believers were one in heart and soul, and no one claimed any of his possessions for himself, but everyone shared everything he had. 33 With great power the emissaries continued testifying to the resurrection of the Lord Yeshua, and they were all held in high regard. 34 No one among them was poor, since those who owned lands or houses sold them and turned over the proceeds 35 to the emissaries to distribute to each according to his need."
He was anti-commercial-operation-of-the-temple, & got physically-violent about that.

He claimed that it was easier to get an ~~elephant~~ .. dromedary, sorry, through the eye of a needle, than for some oligarch to earn place in heaven..

He claimed that the ONLY unforgiveable crime was committing against LivingSpirit.

( that last one: I guarantee you that verse of their bible is going to be deemed "satanic" in dictator-Trump's US of A.. it's too on-point against Trump's religion. & "Ruach HaKodech, or whatever that spelling was.. that's LivingSpirit.
Here's a more-comprehensible, for us non-Jews, version of it: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+12%3A31-37&version=EXB )
That's as anti-fascist/anti-moneyarchist/anti-oligarchist as can be.
& the "Christian" nationalism won't be able to compute that.
which means it's probably important to make that real/happen.
Left-handed monkey-wrenches into their machinery's gears is required, now.

You know the first move is to remove those who helped you get into power. So Trump America could actually be atheistic.
It makes more sense to co-opt and bastardize the existing religion than to demonize it. Nazi party created a whole spirituality by cutting and patching together whatever religious bits fit their narrative.
