And Portland appears to be one of the few places with an actual Antifa
organization.

All the maskef antifas burning police stations proclamed they were antifa.

I guess I don't see anyone from Antifa telling comics that they
have to get off the air. Actually I have not heard ONE single
person declare themselves as antifa, but plenty of MAGA saying
that someone was antifa because they didn't like the words coming
out of their mouths. And then actually striking out against that
person. Physically or politically...

When Antifa says fascism, they just mean anything not on the
extreme left. If they disagree with you, you are a fascist.
There is no relevance to actual fascism like you think about
from WW2, and in fact most of their "actions" are far closer
to that fascism than anything the "right" is doing.

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

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.
