The city of Battle Ground, Washington — population roughly 20,000 — just became one of the first municipalities in America to formally recognize Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization. And Antifa's response? They stormed the council meeting and acted like domestic terrorists. You genuinely cannot make this stuff up.
Imagine being so committed to proving you're NOT a terrorist organization that you terrorize a government proceeding. That's like showing up to your arson trial and setting the courthouse on fire.
Mayor Eric Overholser signed the proclamation at the city council's business meeting on June 1, formally recognizing President Trump's September 22, 2025, executive order titled "Designating Antifa as a Domestic Terrorist Organization." The proclamation stated that "the protection of life, liberty, and property, and the rule of law is the highest obligation of government" and that "violence and intimidation carried out under any political ideology are incompatible with the principles of a free and orderly society."
Pretty standard stuff. Reasonable, even. The kind of language that only a lunatic would object to.
So naturally, a lunatic objected.
During the public reading of the proclamation, a female Antifa protester began shouting expletives, disrupting the proceedings in the Clark County council chamber. Police removed her and placed her under arrest. The council then applauded and continued with its agenda. Reporter Katie Daviscourt of The Post Millennial documented the chaos, as reported by Twitchy.
Let that sink in. The proclamation says political violence and intimidation are bad. Antifa's rebuttal was political intimidation. The resolution called them terrorists. Their defense was to terrorize a meeting. This is the equivalent of pleading "not guilty" to a charge of public urination while relieving yourself on the judge's bench.
Remember when CNN's Don Lemon told us with a straight face, "It's right in the name — anti-fascist. They're just against fascism"? Yeah. Because nothing says "anti-fascism" like silencing elected officials through force and intimidation. That's literally what fascists do, Don.
Battle Ground may be a small city, but what Mayor Overholser did took guts. He didn't just issue some milquetoast statement about "civility." He put Antifa's name on an official municipal document and called them what we all know they are. And the little black-bloc cosplayers proved him right before the ink was dry.
One arrest. One disruption. One proclamation that will now get ten times the attention it would have gotten if Antifa had just stayed home and seethed on Reddit like normal people.
They played themselves. Again. And we love to see it.
