How is it not clear that these people are in the wrong? Why is it like pulling teeth with some people to admit violent leftist extremists exist?
Sure, maybe technically "Antifa" is not some single specific organization, it's a belief system, but so are Neo Nazis, there is no single specific group that controls all Neo Nazis, but these people would never deny or downplay Neo Nazis and say "oh, there's nothing to be afraid of, it's just a belief system, bro!"
Nobody's this stupid, the people who deny it deny it because they support it, they're ok with violent thugs assaulting and harassing people, nothing good is coming to this country if people don't start turning away from political extremism of all stripes, especially in the case of the left wing, anyone with half a brain can see the problem of "rules for thee, but not for me" when one group of violent thugs is tolerated and any sort of backlash to that is focused on as "the real problem" and the only problem.
I hope, for everyone's sake, that people wake up to this and cooler heads prevail, but the fact that Orange Man is gone but the cultural zeitgeist under him is still prevailing is worrying (I guess because the attitude on the left is shifting to "ok, now it's time for some payback" because it happened at all?)
