Transcription: I Just Found Out that My Child's History Teacher is Forcing Them to Learn About Antifa Leaders. What is this Country Coming to?

Wikipedia page on Anti-fascism, listing Winston Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Charles de Gaulle as Counterrevolutionary Anti-fascism examples

PS: Don't worry, today (9/17/2025) is the day that the house committee deliberates on Macro Rubio's ability to use the people's freedom of speech as evidence of terrorist organisation aid.

H.R. 5300, SEC. 226. NO PASSPORTS FOR TERRORISTS AND TRAFFICKERS

So it's just a matter of time before all the Antifas are sent to concentration camps.


PPS: Sorry everyone, looks like this post got too many upvotes and influenced American politics.

Sorry liberal, Republicans have 53 seats in the Senate.

We are going to own the libs and Antifa by making them our slave labor source.

They need 60 votes in the Senate to pass this, doofus.

It takes 50 votes + VP to change the rules, and rule change is immune from filibuster.

Or the VP can just overrule the senate parliamentarian, they only never did that because "norms and traditions".

I know. But they don't want to get rid of the filibuster. The Republicans in the Senate are much less in sync with Trump than House Republicans. Since they're too chickenshit to really stand up to him, the filibuster allows the Democrats to do the work of denying cloture, and Republicans get to avoid the threats that come with openly defying him.

The VP can override the parliamentarian, but the Senate can override the VP's override. And it's worth pointing out that the Senate is very protective of its norms and traditions against outside influence, even now.
