    Yes doubt happens when people spam tweets of videos of random people in black clothes throwing bricks and with zero rational skepitism just assumes "Antifa" in the backdrop of many examples of right wing trolls posing as antifa online and in the streets.

    ANTIFA does exist. It lacks any standard central power structure which makes it difficult to topple. I have met a few members in the past and they are interesting. I employed a clerk that was a member. I know because I saw the insignia. I did not fire him, but in private told him that if he committed any destruction to my office or to the court system while employed by me, he would spend a lot of time in jail. I had no issues, what he does in private is his own business.

    ANTIFA claims to not want violence, but will be violent in response to violent. As it isn't an organization with central leadership, it isn't hard for their to be rogue members that go outside their claimed ideal.

    ANTIFA has a history of property destruction.

    There is a history of right wing extremists impersonating ANTIFA, having done things in the name of ANTIFA in an effort to damage their name.

    I have no doubt that ANTIFA has been involved in the protests and destruction. The President conveniently wants to depict all of the damage as ANTIFA caused, but that is something I do not believe. There is also some evidence that right wing extremists have been involved in the rioting and are blaming ANTIFA.

    My guess is that a number of organizations are involved. What percentages of each? I do not know.

    At this point I believe that ANTIFA has been largely successful in the riots. Will that be the case down the line? I do not know.

    I have to say it would be interesting if ANTIFA cost the President the election.

    I have always viewed ANTIFA as a bunch of losers. It is a surprise to me that they have been somewhat successful.

    I know you are a fan of MLK, who in turn was a fan of Thoreau--who argued "that government is best which governs least."

    you should put this on your reading list:

    Will you apologize for posting propaganda and misinformation? That tweet came from a white nationalist group and @B@ffled was very confused by it and made claims that Antifa was spreading hate on twitter.

    Do you see now how you are part of the white nationalist movement in a way - spreading their information and supporting their agenda even if not intentionally?

    If you renounce white nationalism, renounce what you did and strive to be more judicious in the assumptions and information you share, otherwise you are supporting hate.

    why aren't those brave "protesters" trying to deface the monument to the man who helped end slavery tonight like they did last night?

    I heard on Telemundo that there have been around 500 arrests. The not so curious thing about that is, no one has been vetted as officially anti-fuh. If I was a gop politician, I wouldn't wait a second after the fbi told me that the perp had thrown a milkshake at a proud boy carrying a nahtzi flag back in 2017. FBI investigations tend to be pretty thorough unless you have shady AGs stringing it along.

    Here is the guy Commodore wants you to believe is antifa
    it's possible some people just enjoy mayhem. Eyes are evil, as Ray Lewis would say.

    Terrorists you want? Easy win on the Mexican bingo card.
    I wanted to post the WJ article but it blocks out with the pay wall.
    I'm sure Tucker will go into detail about their military experience
    and how terrible the white supremes are.
