Since the 2024 presidential election, America has been braced for violence from the political far-left — and with good reason. Extremists like antifa, the “anti-fascist” group, are explicitly aggressive. They think looting, arson and intimidation are all acceptable, and until very recently they’ve had the support of the establishment. For a decade their liberal allies gave antifa carte blanche to cause criminal damage in the name of “resisting fascism” or opposing racism. So where is antifa now? What is it planning? It’s an understandable concern.The citizens of Portland remember all too well the bouts of rioting and violence by Black Lives Matter-antifa in November 2016, when Hillary Clinton lost to Trump. More than a million dollars in damage was inflicted on just the first night. In the run-up to the 2024 election, Portland residents assumed the worst and began to board up their shop fronts and leave town. ...Antifa’s decline can also be explained in part by liberal buyer’s remorse. Some who chose to endorse BLM in 2020 were shocked and chastened when several leaders of Black Lives Matter groups were convicted of fraud and money-laundering, and were revealed to have spent millions on luxury homes in Los Angeles and Toronto.Liberals across America might still call Trump a racist but they remember how their own neighborhoods were occupied and set on fire. ...Antifa may have experienced setbacks, but Americans are right to still be concerned. There’s evidence to suggest that it hasn’t given up so much as changed its tactics. Instead of organizing large riots where it risks being charged with conspiracy, the plan now is for a few individuals to commit unpublicized, targeted attacks. If an attack is successful, antifa will then claim responsibility. ...

BLM/Antifa is probably watching how Homan is dealing with his border issues, and the uptick in public opinion against coddling criminals. Might not be as easy this time.
