Public sentiment continues to turn against Antifa, as their actions become increasingly indefensible for the ideologues supporting the movement.
There is a similar WhiteHouse.gov petition nearing critical mass.
It's difficult to make an argument that Antifa aren't anti-freedom and anti-private property, which makes them essentially textbook Communists.
Here's what Politico had to say on the matter:
"Federal authorities have been warning state and local officials since early 2016 that leftist extremists known as “antifa” had become increasingly confrontational and dangerous, so much so that the Department of Homeland Security formally classified their activities as “domestic terrorist violence,”"
It used to be common knowledge in the United States that Fascism and Communism were simply two terrible sides of the exact same coin, but today you'll find that claiming to be a "Marxist" or Communist has become a badge of honor on some left wing campuses and colleges.
In addition to our institutions of "higher education", we can thank the apologist mainstream media and their relentless stream of propaganda for a grossly misinformed public.
This is such an interesting screenshot we have here from Newsweek.
Despite their own headline confirming that yes, the entity who is legally in charge of determining who is a terrorist has declared Antifa's activities to be terrorist, they begin by asking "Is Antifa Terrorist"?
This is like beginning a news story on confirmation that life has been found on Mars with: "Is there life on mars?"
Nope, nothing here.
If we take a look at the related stories, we see two interesting bits of attempted social programming. First, in their typically transparent fashion, they take any chance to associate Donald Trump with anything remotely white supremacist. They figure that you're probably dumb enough that if you keep seeing those two phrases together, you'll believe it.
Second, they double-down on their attempt to imply to you, the reader, that there is some question as to whether Antifa's actions are generally awful. The very first line of that puff piece, if you click the link, declares Antifa to be "ANTI-FASCISM PROTESTERS".
Luckily, with such insanity generally ruling the day, reversion to the mean is likely to take the form of a lurch towards some basic critical thinking. Hopefully that happens sooner rather than later.
