or more politely "armchair warriors".

They are nothing more than propaganda sewers.

Put one of them on a mission in WW-II (or any other battle) and they'd quickly soil their pants. (Guess their fearless leader does that while golfing every day!)

but he led what remained of his team to their goal (laying signal wire) and was the highest ranking soldier still alive. He was a corporal. He was awarded a Bronze Star.

He would be livid. So would my career Army Uncle who was in the Anzio campaign

Actually just about every parent of everyone I went to high school and college were part of that effort.

I have said from the beginning of this "Antifa" smoke screen that I was the daughter of a charter member

operators and field medics were high on the enemy list, so our dads would have been valued targets. One of my uncles was killed in that battle which was the largest and bloodiest single battle of WWII. Makes me shudder to think of all the horror they experienced. Glad to virtually meet you, fellow daughter of a charter member!

the question remains: what is the opposite of Antifa, if not Profa?

Do they even KNOW what the "fa" is?

Fa, a long long way to run?
FA, ferulic acid?
Falala, syllables in medieval songs and carols?
Falafel, a delicious dish?

My whole family has served America as proud anti-fascists, pro-democracy.

That repubes are pissing on America's antifascists --- calling them "suckers and losers" -- is absolutely demonic. Screw Fascism and the G.O.P. grifters and propagandists who are trying to shove it down our throats.

I respectfully salute America's brave and honorable anti-fascists (ANTIFA)

As a veteran who has been to Normandy Beach, this post both warms and hurts my heart at the same time. I declared myself antifa during Dump's first term.
