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.
