So, Donald Trump is sending the National Guard to Portland, Oregon. Okay, what can we expect? Well, Portland is the epicenter of Antifa fanaticism. It is the land of fruits and nuts, dialed up to eleven. There will be so many short, fat women dressed in black that you will think you’re at the 6:30 am Mass in a 1950s Italian parish in Brooklyn. And there will also be a goodly contingent of “trans-women,” meaning hulking men dressed as women and boiling over with cross-hormonal rage.
So how will this play out? No one really knows at the moment. I’ve heard that Antifa has called for reinforcements from other cities; Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle. Allegedly, they want to make this a full-scale war with the feds. I’m not sure I believe that. It seems kind of risky for an army of freaks and weirdos with umbrellas and bricks as their weapons to array themselves against trained soldiers. I’ve always assumed that Antifa only goes on the offense when they are protected by a local friendly government that can protect them from losses by shielding them from prosecution. So even if some of their members are arrested, they are immediately released and no charges are ever filed against them. If the National Guard is called in and interference is deemed a federal offense then Portland can’t protect those arrested from felony prosecution.
Of course, this is assuming the DOJ is taking off the gloves and arrests anyone who breaks the law. That would be a break with the past. For the most part these National Guard operations haven’t netted hundreds of arrests other than the illegal aliens that form the reason for the protests. So, I would be pleasantly surprised to hear about a roundup of the Antifa army in Portland. In fact, I’d be thrilled. Because that is exactly what needs to happen. If Antifa is foolish enough to send in an army of crazies to battle the National Guard, then arresting and possibly shooting some of these people would have a salutary effect on the protests across the country. If some core of the leadership of the Portland gang were prosecuted and handed ten-year sentences, I think it would stop Antifa in its tracks. The very craziest wouldn’t be deterred but the army of morbidly obese, blue-haired, septum-ring wearing, women would be. They can’t afford to go to prison for ten years. Their cats would starve to death. They’re in it for the cheap thrills. They’re not martyr material.
I wonder how long it will take to know which way this will go? I heard confrontations between ICE and Antifa are not expected to start over the weekend. So maybe Monday or Tuesday will be D-Day. My fondest hope will be that Trump himself will go to his Truth Social page and brag about the scalps he collected in Portland. I’m all for that. I’d love to see the names and photos of these people reported along with the crimes they were arrested for. Alright, I’m starting to get ahead of myself. To be continued.
I very much doubt that the leaders will be in Portland.
They will send their useful idiots instead.
Still, put a thousand of them in jail and it will have a “Chilling effect” on the whole lot of them.
I was somewhat thinking out loud. I’m curious how Trump’s people are looking at these operations. Punching the Leftists in the nose seems like a win/win to me. But maybe I’m wrong.
It may not be delicious irony but it is surely irony defined when an organization named anitfa(scist) didn’t go to the trouble to research exactly what a fascist means and then adopts methods used by the 1930’s German fascists.
The rampages of the Brown Shirts during the late 1930’s around Kristallnacht weren’t inherent to Fascism but it was inherent in Naziism.
Fascism was the child of Socialism first envisioned by Benito Mussolini who was then a high party official of the Italian Socialist Party.
