The Way Forward

First, definitely no point in creating an Anti-fa party for all the obvious reasons
But I do feel, our party never attempted to my knowledge or awareness, to define the word in very simple terms. Especially at the time of F47 first term when he used that term in a very negative way, and so did his cult followers in the Senate and so forth.
Charlottesville, is the primary moment when that should have been nipped in the bud, and then exploited in a meaningful way. It was never had been done then. It should have.

Ok that was then, this is now. Dem party leaders in Congress, in all of the state houses etc, Do it now.
Define Fascism, point to specific examples displayed every hour of every breathing moment that bastard is in office spewing his fascists edicts, no touchy feely bullshit.
Aim it to the courts as well, and the media who enable it, while explaining how it is antithetical to any form of democracy. That said, I'm not tuning in to any news broadcasts, I have been avoiding all information coming out of Washington.

So maybe our party leaders are doing this as we are discussing it? It's just about "resistance"
for the sake of opposition without the underlying premise in very clear terms.
Sorry, this is the best I can articulate at the moment.
