You mean this Portland?

Give it a rest with that "left is holier than thou" bs. The left is extremely violent...you should probably read the article that you linked:

...a black-clad antifa activist swung a baton at 28-year-old Ethan Nordean.
Nordean then knocked that pos out with a single punch, not a weapon, his fist. If the little Communist wannabe antif**ks don't want people protesting their protest, then they can stop being violent everywhere they go.

"Trumpism" no. Obamaism yes.

Not as long a history as the current crop of antifa.

Antifa has a long history in this country and it's hard to tell exactly when the current crop had formed. But, we do know that they were bashing people on the right since the obama administration.

Proud boys and patriot prayer were both formed in 2016, as a response to the current antifa group.

All three groups are full of extremists, I'm not even going to be generous and say that there might be "fine people" in any of those groups. They want to fight and beat on people, fine, let them do it in a no rules cage match -- leave innocent citizens out of being beaten up.

I believe you have Veritas confused with NBC, and Okeefe with Lester Holt.

Which is hard to understand. Unlike NBC, Veritas does do investigative journalism.

What about when Obama's comments and the liberal media's vilification of police (before any facts were out) provoked the Baltimore and Ferguson riots and the targeted killings of police in Baton Rouge?

Nice try, but no. Many of their members are non-White and Jewish.

If I have to choose between white supremacists and anti-fascists ~ I would to be on the anti-fascist side.
Again, the Left trying to shutdown anything they don't agree with. Btw, I'm no fan of either the Antifa or the Proud Boys.

I have a suggestion, instead of being Far-Left or Far Right, what about simply being American and put our country first again??

If Antifa didn't exist there would be no Proud Boys. I even wonder if they are real since during the campaign Project Veritas revealed the Dems were posing as Trump supporters and making trouble.

Portland? Those dudes are SOFT!!!

I can point them in the direction of a dozen places they can go...right down to the neighborhoods, where they can find the trouble they seek.

You REALLY think ANTIFA is anti-fascist, despite the name? What does ANTIFA do? It uses violence against any group that espouses opinions contrary to its own. That sounds pretty fascist if you ask me.
