Most people have never heard Antifa. In fact, some of their supposed members have never heard of it either.
Just 1 out of 20 might would be nice. Of course, that might upset the Trump to look down the table and see some non-white faces.
What is the basis for that statement? Are you now trying to make believe there is no such band of miscreants
Of course Antifa exist. Anyone who claims to be anti-fascist is Antifa. I'm just saying it's not a term most Americans are familiar with and many people that have strong anti-fascist beliefs are not familiar with the term either, at least not till Trump decided to demonize it.
Trump has maintained the most diverse staff of any president in history. Try a new hating point.
They dont claim them while they encourage their dirty work

Antifa exist in same way that pro-lifers exist. Neither is a unified organization, they are hundreds of groups and organizations and millions of individuals. Anyone that opposes abortion is pro-life and anyone who opposes fascism is Antifa. Since fascism takes many forms so does Antifa. Many on the far left consider Trump a fascist and are trying to expose him. They are Antifa just as those that work to expose those they believe are Neo-Nazis, and Blacks protesting the fascist police policies, and segregationist in the Old South protesting the heavy handed fascist federal government, etc...During his everything-is-antifa press conference, Barr insisted that the DOJ knew that antifa was behind every bad thing. That there is actually no such group as antifa isn’t a handicap for Barr, Donald Trump, and others who have made it the nation’s number one boogeyman. It’s Tom Cotton. It’s Lindsay Graham. It’s every Fox news and far-right radio host ever. They can kick antifa all day and never have to worry that the president of antifa, or spokesperson for antifa, or especially lawyers for antifa will ever show up to contradict even the most outrageous claim.
The greatest trick the right ever pulled was convincing the world that antifa exists
On Thursday, Attorney General William Barr stepped out to give a textbook non-apology apology by denying that there was any systematic problem with American law enforcement while saying that “it is undeniable that many African Americans lack confidence...www.dailykos.com
The real antifa won WW2. We called them US soldiers.
Here's a list of demands non-existent ANTIFA placed on pussified-Seattle's PROG-punk government: Antifa Releases List of Demands After Taking Over 6 Square Block Section in Seattle and Setting Up Armed Security Watch
I don't recall pro-lifers rioting, burning down buildings, raping women, murdering people, etc.
Standard disclaimer: Queue mention of Eric Randall Rudolph in 3-2-1
You don't have a good memory do you? Now you can do your own research many sites have facts.
Readers React: For being ‘pro-life,’ antiabortion extremists have killed a lot of people
To the editor: In your Mailbag column featuring letters that draw tenuous connections between abortion and a number of other seemingly unrelated issues, two readers attacked the pro-choice movement in defense of that they deemed “life.”www.latimes.com
And right on queue the promoter of the Abortion Industrial Complex points to the 11 murders by SERIAL KILLER Eric Randall Rudolph in the early 1990's. You are as predictable as you are dishonest. After Rudolph went to prison, how many abortion factory bombings? Well, zero. Say, wasn't the Rudolph the Olympic Park bomber as well as blowing up baby killing factories? The guy liked blowing people up.
But honesty is something that you Abortion zealots will NEVER engage in.
Oh...I see what you are getting at. That Antifa was a nearly unknown entity until Donald Trump (the center of all evil in this country) decided he needed to blame rioting, bomb tossing, looting, arson, violence and general chaos on something or someone. So he chose Antifa, as if there was no source of the violence and
KKK and other white supremacy groups are primary targets of Antifa. They showed up at a KKK rally in Charleston and fighting broke out. I think this is where Trump discovered them after he made his remarks about plenty of blame to go around on both sides which seam to lend support to the KKK. I believe that's when the anti-Trump stuff appeared on the Antifa web site run by an Oregon group.
This thread reminds me of a scene from the 1967 comedy ‘A Guide For The Married Man”During his everything-is-antifa press conference, Barr insisted that the DOJ knew that antifa was behind every bad thing. That there is actually no such group as antifa isn’t a handicap for Barr, Donald Trump, and others who have made it the nation’s number one boogeyman. It’s Tom Cotton. It’s Lindsay Graham.

That's about right. Trump needed a scapegoat for his peeps to attack. He couldn't use protesters because they had growing support of the public. BLM would have been perfect because of their close ties to the democratic party but that could hurt his chances of winning Black voters. Antifa was the next best thing; besides it would be payback for Charleston.Oh...I see what you are getting at.

mayhem until Trump chose to make Antifa the scapegoat.
Okay.....
OR...it could be that Antifa was clearly a primary factor in the riots not only in Minneapolis but New York, Oakland, Seattle, Chicago....whereever there are disaffected radicalized punks with a bent for violence
White people you see smashing things up are the same ones responsible for violence in the WTO riots, May Day marches every year, BLM protests, Gay Pride Marches, LBGQ protests, etc. There was a study that came out of Harvard a couple of years about rioting and looting. 75% of those arrested were not part of the protest march or the proceedings. Most arrived after the protest. Over half had criminal records that included burglary, housebreaking, shoplifting, or vandalism. Protests attract criminals like bees to honey. Protests that end by noon are rarely violent. Those that end after 4:00 pm are most likely to be become violent.
Yea, they could be a factor or not. One thing is for sure, they are not a national organization of any sort. Google Antifa and see what you find. You will find a defunk web site that's not maintained and rarely works, several explanations as to what Atifa is, some news media articles that say practically nothing, half dozen or so right and left web sites making all kinds of claims. What you won't find is Antifa. On facebook there are people claiming to be Antifa but far more just writing about. If Antifa was really an organization of any significance, they would have a working website filled with propaganda, a national spokesperson on cable news, fund raising campaigns, and membership drives. They have none of these because they're not a national organization or even a regional one. In fact, it's not one specific organization with a headquarters and a president and a chain of command. In a sense, there are plenty of antifa groups, but antifa itself is not a group. That description is largely in line with how federal law enforcement has interpreted the antifa movement. Whether you use the term Antifa, Commies, Anarchists, White Supremacist, terrorist, etc. you're not referring to any specific group or organization.
