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

    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.

    I just cannot get behind the ideology.  This is what Wikipedia says:
