After the Election, What's Next for Antifa?

Some political commentators have predicted that a Joe Biden presidency would spell the end of Antifa and its riots.

"Notice, there are no post-election riots because the media have declared Biden the next president, and Biden declares himself president," tweeted conservative commentator Mark Levin. "So, most of the looters, arsonists, rioters were, in fact, pro-Biden voters."

Comments like these reflect a widespread misunderstanding about Antifa. Antifa is not made up of supporters of the Democratic Party, even if it shares a hatred of the Donald Trump administration. It is a movement of anarchist-communist individuals, organizations and networks that seek the abolishment of the United States itself. That means no Republicans—or Democrats. ...

Antifa's activities in Portland show that not only is the group still a force to be reckoned with post-Election Day, but it's also improving its organizing to evade arrest. The goal of the riots is the same today as it was before: drain public resources and make economic recovery after COVID-19 impossible for the public. Some signs show it is working.  ...

They could win it all.

Antifa (and BLM) won't be done until the USA has become USSR 2.0, and even then, they expect to be the secret police, bashing heads and hauling dissidents off to the gulag.

Antifa would disappear if the state would get its boot off of normal peoples' necks.

Antifa isn't Partisan, it's Anarchist.  They'll be rioting cross-country again regardless of who's the President.

And they can't "win" in the ordinary sense of the word, because as soon as any kind of leadership emerges, the rest will immediately turn on them.  They will, however, make themselves targets that a Rat Administration would target and kill.  The Rats do "Authoritarian" better than we do.  Sometimes people forget who Hitler's #2 target was in the Holocaust.

This is a bit of a bright spot if the Rats steal this election, if you can call it that:  The jackboots will have to clean out the Anarchists before they can come after us in force.  Even evil Stalinists understand who's the greater danger to themselves.

Yeah...we can file that under “things that will never happen”
Governments do what governments do

The election has "legitimized" antifa and has only increased their power.
We're going to be seeing a lot more of them in the future.

Once more I'm gonna say it:
If Mr. Trump had "gone in with the troops" and put down the antifa insurgency early on, we probably wouldn't be where we are today.

And it's not going to be too long before we discover how much of a mistake it was (and is) to let them continue to gain strength.

I say since Kyle is out of jail, let's support him going out and taking care of a few more of them that are stupid enough to attack a guy with a gun who knows how to use it.
