"Let's try voting our way out of this, ignoring that the oligarchs/corporate bourgeoisie, fascists, imperial core liberals, etc will do their absolute, die-hard best to ensure that socialism never finds its way to America through the democratic system."
The Bourgeoisie need to make money off of iron lungs somehow.
The US does, infact, quarantine well. Only when they are flexing their imperialist muscles, of course.

The thing is, "antifa" is a blanket term used by reactionaries to describe any kind of left-wing thought or opposition. So by branding "antifa" as a terrorist organization, it gives them the power to persecute any kind of left-wing thought if they desire. So just think of this as the third red scare, I suppose.
