Yes, antifa = terrorism and other commentary

President Trump has it fundamentally right about antifa, explains the Washington Examiner s editorial board. The nation is seeing a troupe of professional revolutionaries and marauders exploit the senseless and callous police killing of George Floyd. Coined by the Soviet Union to mollify credulous Western democracies, the term anti-fascist began as a lie and remains a lie today. Today s antifa demands that when its black-hooded actors take to the streets to wound and maim passersby in the name of some nice-sounding stated cause, they merit your sympathy. If only more people understood their overarching goals: the violent overthrow of the US government, the abolition of private enterprise and the violent suppression of the speech of anyone who disagrees with their ends or violent means. And the word for people who use violence to silence and intimidate others to advance a political cause, who try to make people afraid in their own cities and towns, is indeed terrorist.
