Donald Trump has declared war against Antifa. It’s a battle he’ll have trouble winning, as Antifa doesn’t exist. But wait, you’re probably saying, I hear about Antifa all the time on the news! You do, but it’s a general term claimed by all manner of protesters against fascist ideologies rather than an actual organization with leaders, membership, a headquarters, and so on.
But for Trump and his goons, Antifa not existing is actually a plus point, as they can point to whatever they like, say “that’s Antifa” and there’s nobody to contradict them. Case in point, an ongoing Texas prosecution against anti-ICE protestors that the Trump administration insists are an “Antifa cell”.
