Comment on Why does the GOP think “ANTIFA” is bad?
AyuTsukasa@lemmy.zip 11 hours agoThey aren’t an actual group. There’s no leader or meetings. That’s like putting everyone who hates candy corn in a group and saying it’s an organized faction to destroy candy corn.

Ok look it’s simple I am against fascism.
I’m also against violent protests, looting etc.
Antifa is very often involved in violent protests, looting etc. So I can’t support them
And I feel they give people who oppose fascism a bad reputation

There’s no group to support! Antifa isn’t a name its just a short hand for anti fascist. You are antifa. Yes looters are bad but they are individual people doing bad things and later being labeled to give people a group to hate.

If I believe in democracy, does that make me a Democrat?

No because democrats are an actual organized group.
