Seems pretty obvious, no? Antifa is left-wing and the GOP is right-wing. They are opposed to each other on just about everything.

It’s more than that dude. Antifa is the perfect boogeyman for the right because it’s left wing, but also not and organization. Who is the leader of antifa? Where are they based? Who do you have to kill to eliminate antifa leadership? How does someone become a member of antifa? These questions have no answers because antifa is not an organization.
Those are also questions that the right wing media machine works hard to get their audience to never ask. That way, by demonizing antifa, they can use force against anyone because anyone they don’t like can be declared antifa, because no one can disprove their membership, because “antifa membership” literally isn’t a thing.
It’s carte blanche to do whatever they want.
It’s honestly just another symptom of Fox News brain rot. Their audience is trained not to ask any relevant questions. It was always going to end badly.

Yet another item Democrats should be screaming about.
“How is this administration so inept they can’t point to the leader of antifa? You mean to tell me that with the full force of our federal intelligence apparatus, they can’t name a single antifa ring leader?! These guys are so pathetic they can’t even tell us what antifa stands for.”
