What a lot of people fail to understand is that there is no "antifa"
organization. It's more of a philosophy (IMO). Sure, a lot of
marginalized people probably ascribe to the notion of antifa.
However, I would say that the majority of Americans are against the idea
of fascism.
Tell me you're in favor of fascism.

But Howard from Big Bang Theory reminds us you don’t need to
experience something to know you want it:

Maybe you mean nihilism and not literally Antifa. There seems to be a
bumper crop of disaffected nihilists these days. Not sure that fits
neatly into a left/right political narrative. More like there will
always be people who think the world has screwed them over and want to
burn the whole thing down.

Odd that the majority of the people in my sphere of influence that are
espousing the goodness of antifa are all uniformly: uneducated, pot
smoking, un churched, and in many cases with minor criminal records,
but all of them are as poor as dirt it seems. Poverty is what drove
the Russian revolution. Perhaps that is the driver here.
