Never heard of it, never knew anyone who had anything to do with it, nothing. Just a prop for the right to use as an excuse for being assholes.

There for a while, Antifa was about all you heard. I can't remember the last time I heard anything about them. The Repukes can't even lie convincingly.

And one would think an admirable one.....we fought WWll to thwart fascism in Europe.

So of course modern day fascists might have issues with people trying to thwart them.

I hope we anti Fascists prevail in this precarious time, when one party has turned largely fascist.

How did democratic loving folk in America permit the fascists to make believe anti-fascists the terrorists??

did they get confused when they saw that violent people were dressed up as MAGA? Antifa outsmarted them that easily?

If Antifa scapegoating was the plan, someone failed between assembling the scruffy rabble and Commander-in-Chief inciting them. The causality was clear to everyone. Not very good planners.

They exist in the same way that the Washington Generals exist - just for the Harlem Globetrotters to beat up on and that's about it.

We attack something that is worse than us, Antifa!
We are the Good Guys, Antifa are the bad guys!
We do all this to protect Democracy!
We want a fascist dictator for life to protect Democracy!
We come prepared with weapons of War to preserve the Peace!
We are the True Patriots, Antifa is the enemy within!

etc.

Personally, I think the Deep State and the Flying Monkeys are involved somewhere.
