From the top down. Devide and conquer. Fear over facts.

Somebody needs to demand of Barr and Trump: "Aren’t you guys against fascism, too? If not, why not? Because if you aren’t against it, everybody says you are for it."

This is what you get in regions with an overly high percentage of Sasquatch DNA.

It’s unclear exactly how the antifa fervor started, but one man’s Facebook videos in the nearby city of Sequim offer some clues.

It’s pretty clear that the antifa hysteria has come straight from Attorney General Bill Barr and the President. Trump is still seething that antifa showed up in Charlottesville to oppose his supporters’ protest…and they provide a convenient boogieman to justify the militarization of Washington DC and other urban areas.

Well, it was inevitable – the only open questions were “where” and “when”…

I love it. “I have intel”, a f video probably from Qnon! LOLOL
That is a pretty isolated area, what luck those students were there. Not sure why once they saw weapons did not pull over and call police right then.

According to a statement from the Clallam County Sheriff’s Office, obtained by the local Peninsula Daily News, the multiracial family — including a couple, their 16-year-old daughter and the husband’s mother —

That is really all there is to it,

black = black panther,
muslim = terrorist,
multiracial = antifa,
east asian = covid19 super spreaders

1 out of every 2 White American is a deplorable racist. Where does that number come from? Trump’s support won’t budge much from 40%. Non-latino white population in this country about 65 to 70%. Math. Sorry Biden, you were way off.

I spent a week in Sequim (pronounced Skwim) a couple years back. At least several citizens did not have a surfeit of hair on theIr fingers.

I live in western Washington and spend a fair about of time out on the peninsula where this took place. There certainly are some rather odd types (especially further out towards the coast) , but I’m a bit surprised about Sequim (for the unaware, pronounced “Skwim”). It’s in the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains and is a popular retirement area - especially with wealthy Callifornians. It’s big claim to fame are the lavender farms. It is not Appalachia.
