I missed the ANTIFA riots. I guess Evan and I don’t get our news from the same sources.

It’s amazing that this administration is so spectacularly bad that even its propaganda machine can’t hide it.

Worse, the antifa riots rethoric is held against them. It looks like people start to wonder why these riots were allowed to start under the current administration.

And who spells it in all caps? What does each letter stand for, Evan? Is it an acronym, or a portmanteau of anti-fascism? Evan is losing me, to be honest 😒

Did you not see the dancing dinosaurs, grannies, naked cyclists, and the chicken man viciously intimidating Kristi Nome?

It’s awful out there. Truly terrifying.

Propublica just had an article where they dived into just fox news' coverage of portland and apparently they spice up their footage with pictures of the 2020 riots every time they mention portland.

To the point where it may be possible the city of portland could probably sue fox for defamation.

I missed the ANTIFA riots.

Conspiracy theories paint fraudulent reality of Jan. 6 riot

Several different conspiracy theories have emerged in the year since the insurrection, according to an analysis of online content by media intelligence firm Zignal Labs on behalf of The Associated Press. Unfounded claims that the rioters were members of antifa went viral first, only to be overtaken by a baseless claim blaming FBI operatives.

Pretty sure they were referring to the protests in LA, Portland, etc. which conservative propaganda has successfully painted as "riots."

Jan 6 was almost 6 years ago, and these people are talking about the current regime.
