Of course they're back -- would any sane person have imagined otherwise?
I imagined they never left, only got quieter for a while
It used to be a lot more unpopular to hate people different from yourself.
Of course they're back, they've been back since the 1960s, or 1910s if you wanna go back slightly further.
And as a reminder: Modern gun control laws were started because the Black Panthers also trained and learned to defend themselves from far right militias to express the right to vote and free speech. We didn't start doing anything when the KKK locked and loaded, only when people started defending themselves from the KKK.
I realized this is why they're freaking out about Antifa. The right wing has militias (of several forms), so they project that Antifa is a militia. It's always projection.
Also: what are you if you are anti-anti-fascist?
Also take note of how they call everyone they don't like a Communist? You know who else spent a lot of time obsessing over Communists and murdering them?
I wasn't aware these dirtbags ever went away.
Laid low waiting for a proportionate backlash that should have happened but didn't
Well, in many ways, the Big Boy never left sir
