    I don’t understand why it matters. Antifa from what I understand, is anti fascist. Is America fascist, so they need to be afraid of this ‘idea’?

    I already know the answer, I just don’t understand why more people especially journalists aren’t asking it.

      Both. That’s how fascism operates.

      I used to think that they were constantly paradoxical to obfuscate their message, but I’m more recently convinced by their anti-intellectual fervor that they might just be so stupid they don’t understand paradoxes.

      While I agree with you about the issue, i would like to point out that countries with “Democratic” in their names aren’t shining beacons of democracy. This funny quip is easy to win.

      Just need to make some kind of group that can be denied rights and then start designating everyone you don’t like a part of that group. Antifa being that group is just typical Trump laziness and an exercise to see how far right his base actually is.
