antifa
Count me in. Anti-facist. Anti-Nazi (neo or otherwise). Anti-KKK. Anti-Hate. Count me in. I will oppose all of them however I need to. Frankly, I don't see how anyone is not identifying as antifa.

Still wondering…
Family members tell me that love trumps hate. Yet the haters have the guns and kill. And last night, the Trump AZ "rally". How did love prevail there?
