What is Antifa?

Published:

Updated:

Read and heard all sorts of stuff about antifa so I decided to ask a reliable conservative source, The Deseret News in Salt Lake City. This is what they said:

"Put simply, antifa is an unstructured movement known for using counterprotests and physical force to stand against fascists and racists."

I get it, they are "against fascists and racists" with no real organization. But if that's true, why were some of the self proclaimed anti fascist and anti racists people trash the Capital building along side of the Trump supporters? I could understand if they were fighting the MAGA people or trying to stop them from trying to destroy the Capital building, but lots of the Republicans are saying even the guy with silly horned hat was with the antifa people. 

What? Are you correcting me and that guy is Jake Angeli a well-known QAnon evangelist and ardent Trump supporter? My bad, How about the guy with his feet on Nancy's desk, bet he is antifa, right? Nope, that is Richard Barnett another active Trump supporters. Wonder what if the Israeli new people think Robert Keith Packer wearing a "Camp Auschwitz" hoodie was antifa? 

Won't comment on the guy wearing the 6MWE tee shirt, but can easily see why an anti fascist would not like him or Richard Barnett.

That silly horned guy apparently shows up at ANY rally. Read where he marched with BLM, Trump Supporters, it seems the guy just wedges himself into any cause that calls for marching to " something." A regular Man for all Seasons and now they say he is part of a leftist movement, whatever the H that means.

Funny how all the guys being rounded up by the FBI involved with the rioting at the Capitol are White. l have seen some whites march with the BLM crowd, but never seen a BLM supporter march with Trump supporters- why is that? What l cannot understand, but can, is that many of these guys sought by the authorities * FBI, are family heads, having wives and children.

Now they hauled off to jail, leaving the family behind- all for what? l have yet to read or hear of any of these guys say " It was worth it standing up for the President, it doesn't matter that l threw my family under the bus, abandoned them, l did the right thing."

This is what happens when one has consumed enormous amounts of Kool-Aid, that your family takes 2nd place to the President. Those rioters at the Capitol sold their souls to the Jim Jones of the Republican party.

Former Antifa activist reveals their true agenda. About 40 minutes. Good interview. Educational and informative.

l don't buy it: it's always some " former" person saying what they really were all about back then. A former porn star after 10 years in the business saying they only did it because they couldn't see themselves standing for hours on end packing shelves at a grocery store. Come on G.

What's the matter man? Someone that was actually involved in it for 10 years says something that doesn't fit your lib/dem agenda or preconceived notions and so you don't like it. Why would he lie? So typical of you. smh

I just happen to use common sense G, that's all. I have no agenda, l thought that Kasick who ran against Trump back in 2016 was a better Republican candidate.
The guy knew how Govt worked, was a Governor & was Respected on both sides of the of aisle. Instead, you and others wanted to be entertained by a Hotel Owner, a TV celebrity and look what that got you?
Racial divide, unable to address a nation in a time of mourning, bellibelegirant & insulting to our allies. His Tarrifs hurt the country & the things that got him high raise were " Building a wall, locking up kids, going on Twitter & castigating people from his own party & across the aisle.
You wanted a dictator who had no prior experience in politician & the nation granted him one term. End of story.

Just when we thought the Trump era would simply go away and we could get back to our normal lives of wearing masks in public and practicing social distancing, some else had to happen. Seriously, what else was expected from someone created nicknames to personally attack people and was still elected President of the United States.

The majority of voters in 2016 knew "draining the swamp" probably meant creating a new one.

Read where many of the people caught destroying Capital Building property, injuring and killing police officers are using the "Trump made me do it" defense. The second impeachment and Senate trial might be the least of his problems.
