Trump said he plans to designate anti-fascist Antifa movement a ‘terrorist’ group. He describes the group as a “sick, dangerous, radical left disaster”, as well as a “major terrorist organization”.

I have some problems understanding what this really means, so I asked ChatGPT. The term Antifa stands for anti-fascist. The Allied soldiers who fought in World War II—including U.S. veterans—were anti-fascists, though they didn’t typically use the term “Antifa” back then. So far, I thought those were the good guys. According to ChatGPT, Antifa is not a terrorist organization (Trump says it’s a major terrorist organization). It does not have a formal membership or hierarchy, so “attacking Antifa” as if it’s a single entity is misleading. Media and political narratives often conflate all left-wing activism with Antifa, which isn’t accurate. So, then I asked ChatGPT who is left-wing? The answer was … the Democrats. I’m scratching my head, does Trump plan to go after our WW2 veterans or his political opponents, the Democrats. Who exactly is he going after? In WW2 the German fascists were the bad guys. Is he now going after the anti-fascists, the people against fascism? If the White House says that Antifa members are terrorists, and the White House says it will decide on its own who and what qualifies as “Antifa” affiliates, this can get very scary, very quickly.
