President Trump Designates Antifa a Domestic Terrorist Organization

As I explained on X, there is no alternative to Trumpism.

First, the Trump administration has responded to Charlie Kirk’s murder by declaring Antifa a domestic terrorist organization and vowing a more sweeping crackdown on the violent Left is coming. Con. Inc. is becoming more radicalized and willing to wield power to crush its enemies. Meanwhile, the response from activists has been to make excuses for Antifa, to say it is better to have them around, to say we should focus on appealing to the Left and that “there is no Right and Left.” They cling to this delusion after Kirk was murdered for being a “fascist.” They are angry because the government cracking down on Antifa, which should have happened years ago, is a distraction from their obsession with Israel.

Second, activists responded by attacking Kirk’s grieving widow for being a Christian. This underscores the core problem with their ideology. It appeals only to weird antisocial spergs who have no interest in capturing power or wielding it. It simply can’t reach outside of that narrow demographic – the miserable, alienated, secular, single, antisocial, middle aged White male – to a broader audience. What is even more damaging though is the ability of Con. Inc. to coopt their most popular issues.

Back in 2016, the roles were reversed. It was Con. Inc that made excuses for Antifa and which refused to crackdown on them because of “principles” and to the extent traditional conservatives like William Barr staffed the first Trump administration that is what happened during the George Floyd riots. Everyone agreed that Antifa was our enemy and ought to be crushed by the state. Everyone criticized the True Cons for being too soft on them. Today, you have Benny Johnson and Matt Walsh calling for a national emergency, mass arrests and pressuring Trump to put Antifa in concentration camps.

Con. Inc continues to absorb our most popular issues and talking points. Activists repudiate their old positions out of an antisocial, contrarian reflexive posture. When Con. Inc. figures like Charlie Kirk started saying there is a war on White people in America, activists started dumping on creekshitters and whiteoids. When Con. Inc. started demanding that Trump crush Antifa, activists rushed to their defense.

The Hill:

“President Trump on Monday signed an order designating the anti-fascist movement antifa as a domestic terrorist organization, following through on a pledge in the wake of the killing of Charlie Kirk to crack down on left-wing groups.

The order designates antifa as a “domestic terrorist organization.” It gives government agencies a broad mandate to investigate any operations conducted by antifa or for any operation where an antifa member “provided material support.”

The order alleges antifa uses “illegal means to organize and execute a campaign of violence and terrorism nationwide” to accomplish its goals of overthrowing the government and law enforcement. …”

Is there really no political solution?

Politico:

“There is no legal mechanism for President Donald Trump to designate antifa as a domestic terrorist organization — and his executive order attempting to do so has only spurred questions about how the Trump administration will implement its left-wing crackdown.

But for Trump aides and allies who have long awaited this step, that’s not the point. …

“There’s not really a formal designation in law, but as the executive, he can do that, and he can direct a skewing of DOJ resources to attack the problem. That’s how I perceive what he’s doing,” said Ken Cuccinelli, who served as Trump’s deputy secretary of Homeland Security during the first administration. “I wish we had done it in 2020 when these people were rather clearly going from city to city. And I asked for it and didn’t get it.” …”

The Jewish Question is going through a similar shift.

It is gradually becoming mainstream on the Right to be critical of Israel.

Charlie Kirk epitomized the shift from being a Zionist gatekeeper in which support for Zionism was a litmus test issue for being a respectable conservative to allowing “both sides” to argue about Israel at his Turning Point USA conferences. He refused to throw Tucker Carlson under the bus for his donors. Kirk himself opposed the Iran strike earlier this summer before falling in line to maintain his standing.

It used to be edgy to talk about the Jewish Question and to criticize Israel, but now Israel’s public image has taken such a beating since October 7th that the “dissident” space is full of JQ schizos, truthers and grifters who are saying outlandish things to harvest and monetize engagement. This is another example of how the fringe has adapted to our set of issues becoming more mainstream on the Right. The rightwing fringe is becoming more anti-Christian and soaked in trutherism which leaves those of us who are Christians, who want to see Antifa eradicated, White identity respected, immigration controlled and who don’t believe in outlandish conspiracy theories with nowhere else to go.

  1. ” antifa member “provided material support.”

    Yes, who is the money behind all these collected weirdos and junkies, they don’t spontaneously organize themselves.
    Is it the same money behind (((( Chorus Media )))) that pays these libtard Podcaster like Vaush, David Packman and others?

    There is certainly a hidden hand at work.

  3. The problem is always the same…… the conspiracy theorists and people who blame some groups (Jews, Irish, Papists) for everything. We always to analyze events and situations only then talk about.
    The fact that the Jewish behavior has been exposed in the last period and that even leftists started to criticize Jews for their hypocrisy is good. This obviously doesn’t mean that behind everything we have Jews and that all events into the world are result of a conspiracy.
    Second people who continue to be obsessed with some categories are ridiculous…. some Irish probably are dishonest and behind some strange affairs, but not because they’re Irish, because they’re dishonest. The same argument for catholics. People who blame always a category for everything don’t understand the true problem and also are in bad faith.
    If you reason in this way you’re not different from our opponents who blame everything that happens on fascists and fascism.
