The reason I wouldn't want this to happen now is that it gives Trump another target that he can use and abuse in so many different ways. Suddenly every enemy that doesn't fit neatly into one of the already-decided list of Out Groups will be dismissed as Antifa. Any protest, march, or anti-Trump event that gets out of hand will be the work of Antifa. He could even use it as justification to declare emergencies, impose martial law.

Maybe it's too early to say this, but I feel like the Democratic party is finding its footing. The opposition may not be as strident as some of us would like, but it seems to be taking shape. I'm also seeing increasingly better ideas for resistance.

It just takes some time to adjust and figure out what will work vs what sounds like a great idea in a tweet but in reality just won't fly or is totally ineffective.

Sadly, the Democratic Party probably is the most focused anti-fascist organization we have. -nt CrispyQ Jan 27 #155

Antifa literally means "anti-fascist". Think. Again. Jan 27 #159

Mutual aid sounds like what we need right now. Think. Again. Jan 27 #157

We are Democrats. By historical definition we've been anti-fascist since WW2. OAITW r.2.0 Jan 26 #57

And I encourage YOU to tell the truth and stop advocating for Antifa to organize into a formal political party. Oopsie Daisy Jan 27 #190

Perhaps you should look into how parties caucus with each other. Think. Again. Jan 27 #191

Perhaps YOU should look at how idiotic third party voters cost us TWO elections in favor of Trump. Oopsie Daisy Jan 27 #194

You believe that third party ideology threatens Democratic party ideology? Think. Again. Jan 27 #267

Third parties siphon-off votes from Democrats, and that benefits the GOP in close elections. Oopsie Daisy Jan 28 #294

Yes, they have. Think. Again. Jan 28 #295

You are correct LetMyPeopleVote Jan 28 #310

Yes, well, it's probably just another linguistic error on your part. lapucelle Jan 27 #274

No, I believe it was misinterpretation. Think. Again. Jan 27 #275
