    That’s because you take Fox News seriously. Antifa is not the boogeyman group of anarchists plotting in secret that you’re thinking of. It isn’t even an organization, no such thing exists because it’s just shortening the words “anti-fascism” it literally just means anyone who is against fascism. People wear things that say “Antifa” to protests are literally doing so to troll Fox and Co. in order to point out their idiocy and hypocrisy. The reason that Trump and co. are going after this non-existent organization is that they are fascists, and are scared of any open opposition, thus they seek to quash an idea.
