This makes as much as sense as claiming that Tylenol causes autism.

It's not even frightening - just comical.

Respectfully, I disagree. It's kind of funny. But it is frightening because a not insignificant number of people take him seriously. I know multiple people who took Ivermectin for Covid during his first presidency.

The “terrorist” designation of drug cartels is the excuse they’re using (and currently getting away with) for the 4 boats they’ve bombed into oblivion in the Caribbean.

It’s kind of funny in its stupidity. But it’s also frightening how impactful that stupidity has been.

Agree. Taking this as a joke (because its ridiculous) allows one to disregard it too easily. But as the rules of what is Antifa broaden - one might realize its too late.

Then again it is so funny that there is a country that just literally banned anti-fascism and that country is not Russia or North Korea… but USA.

I'm sure North Korea considers themselves strongly anti-fascist to begin with
