As it always will, the Left eats its own.

Old masthead of the Daily Kos

A far left political blog for deranged Libs trying to take back America from Trump and the voters  those deplorable toothless foul-smelling ignorant  hillbillies who stupidly voted for him.

They hate Trump and his deplorable’s, Yet some libs still consider themselves Patriots!

America is not the problem. Trump, conservatives, Republicans, Christians, they’re the problem.

Obama to them was a great President, He apologized to the world for all of America’s sins, open the borders, gave us Obamacare, and saved the environment with his phone and pen.

Hillary was to finish the job of bringing America to her knees and thus making her great by making her ordinary.  And establishing ruling class elite to bring real Socialism to America.

And totally revamping that outdated Constitution.

BUT…

Some people are just to much in a hurry.

While Antifa apparently believed the man was a member of some white supremacist group, that couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, he was carrying the flag because he wanted to make clear that the far-right doesn’t have a monopoly on patriotism.

“Paul Welch came to the downtown protest Aug. 4 to let his political leanings be known,” The Oregonian reports. “With pride he clutched his U.S. flag as he moved among the crowd of like-thinking demonstrators.” But things quickly unraveled when Welch encountered black-clad so-called “anti-fascist” protesters, who “demanded he lose the flag, calling it a fascist symbol,” the paper reports.

While Welch tried to wrestle his flag back from the Antifa goons, one of them, wearing a baseball helmet, black mask and holding a shield, took a club to the back of his head, leaving him lying concussed on the ground, bleeding profusely.

In addition to the open embrace of violence exhibited by the Antifa member, the other problem for the group, The Oregonian underscores, is that Welch was not some Proud Boy or Patriot Prayer fan, he was “one of hundreds of progressive Portlanders who had turned out to oppose the right-wing rally held at the Tom McCall Waterfront Park.”

“I didn’t come as a part of any one group,” Welch told The Oregonian. “I was just protesting outsiders coming here for their tacitly fascist event.”

“I had felt like showing that a liberal, free Portland — or any major city, really — is much more American and much more numerous and strong than any of these interloping groups,” said Welch, who the outlet notes is a registered Democrat who voted for Sanders in the 2016 primary and Hillary Clinton in the general election.

Anti-democracy is hydra-headed; it takes a thousand forms, many of them impossible to detect without close examination. They are part of what the late Huey Long meant when he said, “Sure, we’ll have Fascism in this country and we’ll call it anti-Fascism.”
