No, they're against fascism.
Once again you're invented an enemy to hate and to blame all your
miseries on. "During the 2020 riots following the death of George
Floyd, there were also some reports of Antifa activity. In Newark, New
Jersey, the FBI and Newark Police Department investigated possible
Antifa activity and arrested an individual for possessing a knife, a
hatchet, and a jar of gasoline with intent to use violence.1 In
Austin, Texas, law enforcement officials reported that Antifa was
involved in violent activity, including the looting of a Target
store.2 There were also law enforcement reports of Antifa activity in
other cities, such as Minneapolis, Minnesota; Spokane, Washington; and
Portland, Oregon. The FBI nevertheless assessed that criminals—not
Antifa or other ideologically motivated individuals—perpetrated the
vast majority of looting and violence. Other law enforcement agencies
came to a similar conclusion. “We saw no organized effort of antifa
here in Los Angeles,” said Josh Rubenstein, the spokesman for the Los
Angeles Police Department."
The right runs around screaming, "Antifa! Antifa!" like a bunch of
chickens with their heads cut off when there is little reality behind
their claims.
"Antifa is a contraction of the phrase “anti-fascist” and refers to a
decentralized network of individuals that oppose fascism, racism, and
other related ideologies."

Yes, it is. Ya gotta stop believing the extremists. They'll lie to
you every time. Even if they get their facts straight, they'll pant a
picture of motivation and effect that has NOTHING in common with
reality.
I recall the left screaming that if Bush was re-elected in 2004, he
was going to declare martial law in 2005 and we'd never have another
election.
Yeah, that's right, hard left wingnuts said insane shit just like
that.
And hard right wingnuts are just as guilty. "If Obama gets elected
he's going to take away all our guns!"

Gas started going up when Trump was in office. Inflation has been
going on since Trump was sworn in. It's just that the right didn't
care about gas prices or inflation until a Democrat got the top seat.
You're a bunch of hypocrites who run from facts like frightened little
girls run from strangers with candy.

And all of that is planne ahead of time by individual power generating

Not sure about that. The number of hard right manufactured scandals
about the Clintons is dozens long and been going on for over thirty
years. And not one single charge has been proven.
Meanwhile, Trump says flat out that he could machine gun Times Square
and still get elected.

Actually, they're not. The GOP is much better at dirty tricks. That's

I've heard of him. He's a nazi. I wouldn't want him anywhere near my
kids.
From that link:
"The University of California, Berkeley has cancelled a speech by
rightwing internet troll Milo Yiannopoulos after thousands of students
gathered in protest and a group of black-clad anti-fascist activists
shot fireworks at the speech venue."
What part of "troll" did you not understand?

Yiannopoulos is a nazi. Why would you want to hear anything he has to

Those claims are emotional screams of people exasperated beyond
bearing at the willful murder of unarmed perps by the cops. Defunding
police is perpoterous. If anything they need more funding for pay and
for MUCH broader and deeper training on how to deal with people and
handle crisis.

You're getting off easy. The drug problem in Florida was one of the
worst in the nation. They finally cracked down on 'painpill doctors'
and that seems to have greatly diminished the problem.

That doesn't make sense either. Is Antifa an event of some kind that
