    After this bill, Trump will declare antifa, BLM, and pro-palestine movements as terrorist organizations

    Possibly. But per the bill they have to at least make a show of “proving” that the organizations aided designated foreign or domestic terrorist organizations, which is defined by the Secretary of State. Yes, of course they can just define an organization as such but it’s not completely evidence-free. I’m a little unclear on the process of domestic vs foreign designations - Executive Order 13224 signed by bush gives both to the Secretary of State. Still that way?

    “Then all leftist legal support is dead”

    Because people can’t get a tax deduction? I’d hope we’re slightly better than that.
