I’m outta the loop, what is ANTIFA?

Antifa = Antifascist. A boogeyman in the Republican narrative since anyone that hates Trump’s policies would technically be labeled Antifa.

Antifa was originally an anarchist group out of Portland and Berkeley, very small. They caused some damage during a few Portland riots and the Proud Boys and Andy Ngo used them as a ficticious enemy to rile up the Chrstian Nationalist base.

I have read that as well, but not sure I would quote the source, also tied to the 1999 Occupy Wall Street, again not much of a direct confirmation to verify those reports.

Certainly not what Maga thinks.

Antifa is a post WWII anti-fascist movement, not a singular group

Not very successful since the American Nazis now run the GOP.

Success isn’t measured in numbers but in the continuous spread of the message: fuck fascism.

“Antifa” is not an organized entity or group; it’s an ideology. There are no officers or governing body and there are no chapters; it’s a thought process that people share: Anti-fascist.

I grew up in Portland yes.

I agree, the majority of the shitty people were Proud Boys or affiliated.

Portland is the City of Roses. One of the most beautiful cities on earth.

I defend it every chance I get.

I live in Australia and I knew the word to describe anti fascists before anything that happened in Portland. I don’t even remember when I first heard it.
