BLM and Antifa are trending.

MAGAs, Proud Boys, Boogaloos = Domestic terrorists.

But here's what the research actually says.
You know me I always have sources for my posts.😎

It's in the bottom corner but if you ever need just ask me.

Here's the source.

csis.org/analysis/war-c…
Here's some stats for you.
67% of terror related attacks/plots where conducted by Far Right groups conducted

(note this does not include the 7% by boogaloo's)

50% of the Far fight attacks were on demonstrators and only 18% were on government.
For fairness:

The left wing accounted for 20% and attacked the police, government and military personnel 58% of the time and the other 42% was on demonstrators supporting police and Donald trump.

So yea - Basically being anti-fascist 🤷
There is a reason why the FBI put Far Right groups at the same threat level as ISIS. It's because they are fundamentally the biggest domestic threat America is currently facing.

This has only increased with Trump's presidency and his inciting rhetoric

vice.com/en/article/3a8…
I have previously dealt with the fact that young White Males are being Radicalized online in the EXACT same way that Muslim youth are radicalised to join ISIS/Al Qaeda.

4chan/8Kun and other sites have all been co-opted with the same goal.

Don't believe me here was the rolling stones research into the change in rhetoric in these sites over the years.

It points to a larger issue. One that has only worsened under Trump/Bannon's influence.

This was also the same time QAnon showed up.

America is "lucky" it was the incompetent Donald Trump that was the first president to truly test America's checks/balances and democratic process.

If it was someone with actual intelligence, competence and charisma it could have been America's first and last.

THREAD🚨

1/
All but one of the checks/balances failed to keep Trump in check
- Legislative branch failed
- Judiciary branch slow/limited & then supreme court stacked
- Executive branch - complicit/co-opted
- Impeachment failed
- DOJ co-opted (limiting Mueller too)
- FBI/CIA absent/limited
2/
The only one which stopped Trump was the vote.

I can not understate how lucky America is with a Biden victory

If Trump was not so stupid he could have taken Covid seriously from the start & it would have gained him enough voters for an Electoral College win

"LOCK DOWNS DON'T WORK" - Republicans

Victoria a state in Australia with 6.4 million people locked down for 3 months after peaking at 725 cases in August.

Now it has not had any cases for 14 days.

Lockdowns do work. Australia proved that.
Note: That graph above is for ALL of Australia

The second bump in the chart is almost ENTIRELY from Victoria.

NSW the largest state (Population = 7.5 million) has been relatively unscathed and relatively open after an initial lockdown ~5 months ago.
Science + informed citizens + leaders listening to scientists = Freedom.

Life has barely been affected in most of Australia after it competently handled its first wave.

We need to shift the narrative.

Talk about all the active measures by Trump/GOP/RUS to alter election results and undermine confidence in the electoral process.
- Voter suppression
- Dismantling USPS
- Colluding/extorting foreign countries
- Voter/counter intimidation
- Hacking
Just be VERY careful about playing into their game of attempting to discredit the WHOLE election. They want to and their main goal is to discredit democracy and the electoral process.

If I had to select one to push at this time I would perhaps only select the dismantling of the USPS and that the only evidence of "voter fraud" is from republicans.
