...The media and some in the Democratic Party have been complicit in covering for the group, repeating the absurd point that Antifa stands for “anti-fascist”—implying that to be against Antifa must mean that you are a fascist. This schoolyard logic works as a one-liner on television, where no one can counter it. Maybe the media are also afraid. One of the only journalists to cover Antifa was beaten savagely, and remains subject to threats. And as we saw in Atlanta, where rioters invaded the headquarters of CNN, even left-wing, Democrat-friendly corporate media are vulnerable to attack.
Many have pointed out that the mostly white, disaffected punks of Antifa suffer from dead-end lives and come from broken homes without fathers. America has deep social problems, but plenty of people deal with such challenges without trying to burn down the country. Antifa certainly deserves its designation as a domestic terror group, and local law enforcement doesn’t seem up to the challenge of stopping them. The silver lining: these thugs remain a small minority, no matter how many people who should know better cover for them. The American people will gladly support the group’s demise.

We have a few of those where I work. I don't know what they are saying now because we are all working from home.
Maybe they should call their Aunt Teefa, she is worried about them, with all this commotion and trouble about. I would be worried too, but I don’t have an Aunt Teefa.
I always thought they were well named. Doesn’t Antifa really stand for anti First Amendment?!
The communists were also “anti fascists”, how many did they kill?
Both are left of centre (forgive my spelling, I’m Canadian).
The only reason fascists are right and communists are left is because of pre WWII propaganda from both sides, but they are both collective, authoritarian, equalitarianist and totalitarian.
Both are left of Conservatism and even original liberalism, libertarianism.
What are they teaching in school nowadays?
Soros & Obama fingerprints all over this. Time to get busy.
Bttt!
