First things first: WWII was my father's war, I saw fighting Trump as a direct continuation of that war, this time with the fascists taking Washington. That being so, I really liked that postet, and even more so when fash screamed we were threatening to stab them because of the bayonets shown.

Let's keep in mimd the very meaning of the original, pre-WWII antifa (two flags) flag: to put other differences aside and fight the fascists who would kill us all given the chance. Even the Irom Front flag, whose three arrows targeted.fascism, monarchism, and communism (understood as.stalinism) did not also target the social democrats or their equivalents at that time.

We could not have removed Trump from office ourselves, and in DC we were no longer able to deploy enough fighters ourselves to beat back the Proud Boys after the liberals told their people to stay home in Nov 2020. Had the Dems been willing to not tell people to stay home (thanks Mr Neville Chamberlain...), a combine counterprotest of 20,000 or so onNov 14 could have driven the fash off DV streets, and prevented many members of the random public from being assaulted.Dec 12 would likely have been pre-empted. Jan 6 the Capitol was not our respomsabilty, but the rest of the city was. Fortunately,the few fash that dared show up at BLM Plaza got thir asses.kicked.

We were maxed out on Dec 12 and close to it on Nov 14, responsability for that rests squarely with those who told people to stay home.

If the liberals had told people to fight the fash, we would have still needed to deploy and the resulting broad front could have won. It would have been like Cville but like there we would have had the advantage and prevented the fash from achieving their goals.

Now think about what would have happened if the cops and National Guard whom everyone but us relied on for defense on Jan 6 had sided with Trump wholesale. A GOP-only vote would have overturned Trump's defeat, GOP states only would have recognized that vote, and the whole US would now be in a shooting civil war.
