>Now I remember reading something about an "antifa" flag, that seemed unconclusive... You're probably thinking of this case recently where Trump ran ads on Facebook which called out antifa and used the same symbol for them that the Nazis used for leftist political prisoners sent to concentration camps. The ads even had other Nazi dogwhistles included too. Facebook took down those ads. https://www.motherjones.com/2020-elections/2020/06/trump-upside-down-triangle-antifa/ https://www.motherjones.com/2020-elections/2020/06/trump-ups... I find it outright amazing how much charity people around HN are still extending Trump.

I have no sympathy for the man and, trust me, I'm not playing dumb. I'm genuinely unable to see the logic in all this. In a majority system you win by seducing the centrist vote. Why would anybody think it's a good idea to be associated with nazis? Or for that matter, dissolving the police, so his adversaries are trying to outdo him with similar egregious proposals. What does Biden say about the lootings and the defunding? I can understand that extremist groups somehow justify the violence, but not a presidential candidate or his party. Verizon seems to be a phone company or gigantic ISP. Why does that kind of company takes sides in this fight? What I find funniest is that over here even media in the opposite end of political spectrum complain when the government leaves them out of election adds.
