“Violence is a feature, not a bug, of Antifa’s ideology.” - Unmasked As the media narrative surrounding the January 6 Capitol insurrection begins to crumble, the real insurrection story remains largely ignored. Despite consecutive years of riots, arson, and violence by hundreds of Antifa members in cities across the country, the media continues to minimize property damage, death counts, and ongoing agitation toward citizens. Instead, Democrats and their media allies cheered
“Renegades made illicit joys not only possible but real. They didn’t intend their actions as gifts to us. But now is our chance to accept them as gifts, take the side of the renegades when the guardians of social order try to keep them down, and take more.” – A Renegade History of the United States “Only a virtuous people are compatible with freedom,” said Benjamin Franklin as he encouraged the teaching of morality to citizens of his young nation.
