I Am an Antifascist Veteran. Well, I Guess That Makes Me a “Terrorist” Now?Description
Show Notes:
President Trump has announced his intent to designate “Antifa” as a terrorist organization. In this episode, I break down what that means, why it’s happening now, and the danger it poses to ordinary Americans who dare to dissent.
We look at how Trump and JD Vance are exploiting the assassination of Charlie Kirk to criminalize critics, silence institutions, and celebrate political violence. I share how Veterans Fighting Fascism and Task Force Butler are responding—by continuing to work with communities and law enforcement to prevent hate crimes and build resilience.
Antifascism isn’t terrorism—it’s patriotism. It’s the tradition of the Greatest Generation, and the commitment of every American willing to defend democracy at home.
