I totally missed the rise of the “alt-right.” Despite being personally acquainted with hundreds if not thousands of conservative activists, I had never heard of the “alt-right” until Democrats started talking about it during the last election season.

Similarly, the “antifa” movement–antifa being short for antifascist–sprang up from nowhere. The difference being, I think, that the antifa movement actually exists. I know it exists because antifas keep starting fights.

Yes, it's funny how that alt-right everyone spoke of never got around to doing anything and has barely been spoken of since the election.

I wonder how many of these antifas come straight off of college campuses?

"Antifa" always struck me as really meaning anti first amendment, which would be fitting seeing as one of their primary goals is suppressing the speech of those they disagree with.
