The group calling itself ‘Refuse Facism’ has been holding protests in cities across the USA:

Counterprotesters outnumbered 3-to-1 the anti-fascism group that gathered at Austin City Hall on Saturday to protest the Trump Administration. By 3 p.m., the 20 or so members of the Antifa group were marching toward the Texas Capitol, still dogged by 75 from the opposing group, several of whom displayed Confederate flags (crowd counts per Austin police).
“Trump and Pence are fascist!” chanted some of the Antifa protesters, as they were heckled by the others. A leader of the Antifa group said there were twice as many of their supporters there as the police estimated. http://www.statesman.com/news/local/antifa-protest-begin-austin-city-hall/ms3IzHMDA4JcEbo5AE5iiP/

An anti-Trump rally is being held on Boston Common on Saturday by Refuse Fascism. …
and coincides with 20 similar rallies across the United States.
Carl Dix, one of the organizers, told the Boston Globe that the goal of the demonstration is to create “a political crisis in the country that can force the removal of the Trump/Pence regime.” https://www.necn.com/news/new-england/Anti-Trump-Rally-Planned-for-Boston-Common-455173223.html

Dozens of protesters took to the streets of downtown Los Angeles on Saturday, nearly one year after the election of Donald Trump as president spurred massive demonstrations across the U.S.
The group Refuse Fascism called for protests against the Trump administration in several major cities on Saturday, including Los Angeles.
Protesters, many of whom wore shirts that either simply said “NO!” or “Black Lives Matter,” began filling Pershing Square around 12:30 p.m. in advance of the expected rally.
Perry Hoberman, an associate research professor at USC, is among the event’s organizers. He said the date of the march was chosen in part to coincide with the anniversary of Trump’s Nov. 8, 2016, election victory in the hope that it would energize others to stand up to what he sees as the administration’s racist and divisive policies.
“There’s clearly this process of fatigue and normalization,” he said. “On the one hand, you almost get used to what they are doing.”
About two dozen Trump supporters near 5th and Hill streets voiced support for the far-right media outlet InfoWars and opposition to communism while waving American flags. Police established a line between the rival groups.
“You’re on the side of evil,” yelled one Trump supporter holding a bullhorn. “We are on the side of good.” http://beta.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-anti-trump-protests-20171104-story.html
The initial reports about today’s forecasts indicate that it was not the start of the apocalypse or as major as some feared (see also WP: The antifa apocalypse is coming this weekend, if you believe the hype).
As far as ‘refusing facism’ goes, various articles I have read from and about those associated with the anti-Fascist movement indicate that they like aspects of fascism, such as suppression of speech of those that they oppose.
Below is a banner announcing today’s protests:
Jesus taught:
25 Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. (Matthew 12:25)
17 Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and a house divided against a house falls. (Luke 11:17)
We see this happening more and more in the USA. From both pro- and anti- fascist protesters.
As far as Donald Trump goes, here is something I posted here over a year ago:
For years I have warned that more civil unrest was coming to the USA. We have already seen a re-emergence of civil unrest already in 2015 and 2016.
That does not mean that I agree that globalists will necessarily trigger it etc. But the media certainly has fanned the flames in the past and I expect them to do more such fanning in the future if Donald Trump were to win. (Thiel B. ‘Chaos will erupt across America in less than 100 days… no matter who wins the election’. COGwriter, September 5, 2016)
A major divide is occurring in the USA. This is not good.
Violence by protesters of whatever political ideology is wrong and should be denounced.
Increasingly, the USA is becoming more polarized.
Partially because of that, we have seen many speakers and protests cancelled by US state and local government authorities this year.
There is less tolerance for free speech, including from many who claim to oppose fascism.
Consider also the following from the prophet Amos:
9 ‘Assemble on the mountains of Samaria; See great tumults in her midst, And the oppressed within her. 10 For they do not know to do right, ‘Says the Lord, ‘Who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.’” (Amos 3:9-10)
The reference to Samaria is pointing to the USA (see also Spiritual Samaritans: Old and New). The above is consistent with both civil unrest and terrorism. Expect civil unrest to hit the USA. Many on the right and left feel oppressed, they do not know how to do right, and they have stored up violence, and in ‘protests’ can display violence and robbery.
We seem to be seeing more and more protests.
The Bible warns:
25 … There shall be terror within (Deuteronomy 32:25)
There is violence in the USA. We are seeing increased civil unrest in the USA, by groups like Antifa. We will see riots in the USA.
The time of Jacob’s trouble (Jeremiah 30:7), also known as the Great Tribulation (Matthew 24:21), is coming and the USA and its Anglo-Saxon allies (including Canada) will be affected.
National repentance is the only way to prevent it, and that does not look likely. Personal repentance, however, is still possible. If you are an American, your personal future can still be much brighter than that of your country.
Protesting for or against Donald Trump is not the answer. For the nation, the Kingdom of God is the solution, but the USA will first have to go through a horrific 3 1/2 years. The end of the USA/UK world order is coming and the final Time of the Gentiles is getting nearer.
Protests further dividing the USA will contribute to its downfall.

Dr. Thiel says that Bible prophecy can be trusted, despite the view of skeptics and others that either overlook or despise the Bible. This is a video.
