Conservatives look at this picture and see intolerant antifa extremists invading a peaceful conservative country because they have different political opinions.

It’s right there in the name - Anti-FAscist. If someone thinks AnTiFA is bad, check if they’re waving fascist flags before engaging in any debate with them in a good faith.
Conservatives are incapable of good faith arguments. It's completely pointless trying to argue with them about anything
The problem is, they don’t think being anti-fascist is bad, they just don’t think the fascists that Antifa is against are actually fascists.
Most of them have no clue what antifa actually says or means — nor what facism actually means
And the DPRK has “democratic” in its name. There are so many better arguments to use.
Wasn’t the issue the use of “antifa” by US “press” to describe anyone violent at any protest? I’m not American, here in EU it’s not a term that is used, at all.
That's ultimately what it ended up being. 10 years ago your average person had never heard of it. And your average redneck was completely clueless about it. But over the last 10 years corporate media has turned it from an obscure group from World War II Europe. Into one of the new Boogeyman they constantly beat against.
This was largely due to the fact of the groups rather libertarian / anarchist structure. There aren't any real Representatives or any solid membership etc etc etc. Just a nebulous group that's easy to misrepresent.
Antifa movement originated in Germany.
Aunt Tifa is evil! /s
Antifa literally means anti-fascist. The guys who stormed the beaches of Normandy were "antifa."
The guys who stormed the beaches of Normandy were “antifa.”
Many of them were quite literally Communists. The party membership was at its peak during the Great Depression, and American Communists were big advocates of US entrance into the war in the run up to Pearl Harbor. Lots of Americans saw the Western Front as an opportunity to aid their besieged allies in Soviet Russia.
At the same time, you had pro-Nazi sympathizers who thought we should simply profit off the war by selling to both combatants, or even enter the war on the side of the Germans. The German-American Bund held rallies in New York and Chicago, hoping to win the public over to supporting Germany in its war against the eastern Communists.
We had a very real and notable split in public opinion on the subject of which side of the war to support in the run up to the Japanese attack on Hawaii. And even after the war, many American conservative politicians remained sympathetic towards the defeated German government in a way they hadn't been towards the Kaiser's Reich of WW1, the Spanish during the Spanish-American War, or the American Natives.
This poster needs to be on every fucking wall
I'd love to print this on a yard sign and stick it out by my sidewalk if I wasn't absolutely certain it'd get my tires slashed or worse.
Print it out and stick it in the yard of any pro-Trump neighbors.
what if you get caught doing it?
Claim you weren't putting a sign in their lawn, you saw some kids leave it and were pulling it out!
sounds similar to the brown shirts
Send the word, send the word, over here?
Affirmative
I wonder if theres a high quality version, I'd love to print out large versions and post them all over town.
You could probably use an image upscaler. You can find free options on the Internet.
Love this style & message.
