In fact, it's their organization and those behaving like them which have turned me away from the Democratic Party. It's also caused me to question any liberal views I might have, although I still have a few I just can't let go.

I'm not a Democrat, I'm an independent but I also know that ANTIFA has NOTHING to do with Democrats. Absolutely zero. They are anarchists of the far left and I'm quite unsure why you would equate them with Democrats. There is no relation there at all.
