The liberals and the leftist media are busy covering for these fools.
They are not at all pro-constitution.
News reports just say "anti-fascist," well, that term isn't necessary and it's obscuring the group and its violent tactics.
Free speech, and suppressing hate speech, are not the same. Problem is, the trend certainly since Obama was elected, is to shout down anything non-PC or non-lib/dem.
It is interesting that the group that identifies itself as tolerant, understanding, and welcoming, is in bed with Antifa and Islamists.

We’ll have it under the guise of anti-fascism.” The ascription to Long is popular but the phrasing has been highly-variable, Also, QI has not yet found direct instances in Long’s writings, speeches, or interviews. This article presents a snapshot of current incomplete knowledge. link

Everyone blithely allows the turds on the left to change the wording so as to bolster their argument and positions. We've heard reiterations of it for a long time and the recent example is ANTI-Fa. They pitched that to the media and the media bought it hook line and sinker. They are not "anti-fascists", as they tend to support exactly what fascists believe in, which is big government and freedom to intimidate or bash anyone on the noggin who disagrees with them. Lets call these idiots what they are: PROgressive FAscists. PROFA. They are clearly not "Antifa".
BTW, they use to call themselves "anarchists" when Obama was in office and they dressed the same, spoke the same, and bashed Starbucks windows the same. They're the same idiots doing the same thing, but now they have Trump to blame and the media to gleefully run the fake story they pitch to them.
PROFA. Not antifa is the correct terminology so that the narrative is more accurately defined.

Anarchist, communist, anti-fascists, who want to stifle opposition by using intimidation and violence.

They need to become designated as a terrorist organization.
Plain and simple.
As I understand it, a White House petition recently reached the requisite number of signatures to do just that. It's up to the administration now.

Currently, fascism is a bad thing. So, this domestic terrorist group, whose only agenda is to stop Trump from implementing his agenda to make America great again, decided to call themselves anti-facists, or antifa. That's it.
Of all the enemies the American citizen faces, the Democrat Party is the very worst.

That's it?
Hardly.
"this group..." has been around for 30 years.
To think they are a new thing with only Trump and his agenda as the goal to thwart is ignorant. To believe it is completely and utterly ridiculous.

Yup, these clowns have been around for a long time, started in Europe, mainly Germany, clashing with skinheads. Lefty protestors over here learned a few things during their college backpacking days: hanging-out with German Marxists, Spanish revolutionaries drinking coffee with old IRA members and collaborating with Italian communists. Assholes all the same, just different languages.

I only meant that these scumbags coined this new name for themselves because they knew being against fascism would tickle the ears of the children in colleges and universities. When I said, "That's it, " I meant that was the only reason for calling themselves what they do. Sheesh - they don't actually have any problems with Fascism - see my tag line.

BLM + Antifa = Thugs-for-hire... just like the Nazi Brownshirts of the 1930s. The only difference is the language. Ebonics vs. German.

Antifa might actually be a good thing for the Republican Party. They show the true nature of leftists. With all antifa's hate, violence and lawless nature I fail to see how they benefit Dems. Let them destroy things, arrest them and connect them with the democrat party.

It's not going to be a good thing for the Republicans as long as the are portrayed by the media as anti-facists or victims. Let's not forget that they went to Virginia to protest peacefully and were attacked by the violent right wing extremist neo-nazis and "White Nationalists" (whatever that means). Combine that with the lack of interest by the general public and their inability to exibit any kind of critical thinking skills and we now have a public that sympathizes with them. I hope I'm wrong but I doubt it.

Yet, I don't think that's correct. Consider what we're seeing right now. The media is continually hammering President Trump and pushing the false 'white supremacy' narrative (among others), yet the Dem's as a group are suffering their worst fundraising since 1999, and per polling (yeah, I know we all hate it) they can't make up any ground on this administration even when the GOP is utterly ineffective (Ex. repeal and replace of BarryCare), and/or the president does say something they 'could' capitalize on.
I think its more in line with what a guy on Tucker Carlson mentioned last night about ESPN's handing of the 'Robert Lee' thing. The majority of the people in this country aren't stupid, and can see the narrative they're being fed just doesn't jive with reality. And as that continues to happen, more and more people are going to resent both the media and the Dem's.
