Really not sure how many times I have to repeat that I live in the heart of antifa country.
Well, maybe a bit to the North. More like the antifa commuter suburbs.
Whether they are a legitimate threat? Not sure. DNC politicians have given them far too much cover and allowed them to build up an infrastructure which they export to other areas of the country. On the whole, I think the establishment treats them as a rabid Rottweiler they can let off the leash every so often as a tool against the GOP but then expects to put them quietly back in their cage for another 4 years. I don't yet know if they are strong enough to resist going back.
OTOH, if there is one thing I've learned in the last couple weeks it is just how thoroughly the establishment can use police forces to crush a group once it sets its mind to it.
