Antifa—the self-proclaimed “anti-fascist” group that the left insists is just an idea—is no stranger to violence, chaos, and destruction. This movement, which claims to stand against authoritarianism and oppression, has a dark history that tells a very different story. Antifa’s roots go back to the early 20th century in Europe, where communist factions weaponized “anti-fascism” as a rallying cry to stoke unrest. From the beginning, their tactics were clear: create chaos, silence opponents, and instill fear to push a radical agenda.
Antifa’s revival in the United States has become something of a left-wing spectacle. Under the guise of fighting fascism, they’ve repeatedly shown up with their black masks, incendiary devices, and makeshift weapons to intimidate anyone who dares to hold a viewpoint that isn’t approved by the woke left. Portland, Seattle, New York—you name it—Antifa’s playbook is the same everywhere: start fires, vandalize property, and attack law enforcement. Antifa has targeted businesses, historical landmarks, and even residential areas, claiming it’s all in the name of “justice.”
While Democrats turn a blind eye to Antifa’s violence, calling it a “myth,” the reality is that Antifa’s primary goal is the breakdown of law and order. They don’t actually want freedom or peace; they want to destabilize the country so they can impose their radical agenda. A 2020 video from Seattle shows “protesters” smashing windows of small businesses already hit hard by the pandemic. The irony? They’re supposedly fighting for “the people” while destroying everything hardworking citizens have built.
Let’s not forget that during Trump’s presidency, Antifa’s violent actions came into the spotlight. Trump rightly declared, “The United States of America will be designating ANTIFA as a Terrorist Organization.” Trump’s commitment to protecting the country was clear, and he stood as one of the few leaders willing to call out Antifa for what it is—a violent, anti-American movement.
Democrats keep playing Antifa off as some ragtag group of idealistic youngsters, but anyone paying attention can see they’re an organized movement, funded and driven by people with a destructive agenda. Antifa’s dark history shows us what happens when violence is left unchecked, and their continued aggression is a reminder of why strong, clear leadership like Trump’s is essential. In the end, they’re not protecting democracy; they’re eroding it.
