Out of curiosity, have Republicans ever exposed groups of Antifa to back up their claims?

Antifa sure got a lot of blame for events/incidents for a couple of years, but you rarely hear of them, today. The Republicans must have a magic power to eliminate "terrorist" groups or the ability to scare the hell out of them. Isn't that strange?

RWers want everybody to think that antifa is some dark organization like Comintern was back in the day. Problem is, it ain't. It's pretty grass roots and localized. They have their militant chapters in the Portland OR area, I guess, but as for a national/international organization trying to bring down repubs, well it kind of isn't.

If they ever ran into an "Antifa" group, they'd mess their britches.

A prominent neo-Nazi lives in an apartment not far from downtown Denver

then I saw this;
Rocky Mountain Antifa;

and then I saw this;

They don't seem to like the Nazi.

Per these websites and I'm sure others, there's some weird shit out there. Some could be loosely hinged.

Thats what I tell people when they say antifa. Like Hello???? How many people have been arrested and you can see the puctures or video with them at the capitol and they aren’t affiliated with antifa. So how do they make that tie in?

Or "radical Socialists".
Do any of the Republican Bogeymen/Evil Witches actually exist, as described?
