Democratic Party politicians are criticizing Donald Trump for classifying Antifa as a terrorist organization. 

"It is an idea, not an organization."

ANTIFA is not a real group y’all, they just have a flag, official colors, uniforms, local chapters, meeting places, email signups, and clear directives for “members.”

— Mike Jackson (@mkjcksn) September 18, 2025

Sure, it is an idea with all the hallmarks of an organization, but if you think about it, aren't all organizations really just ideas unless they have a tax ID number? Nothing is real until the IRS has a number to classify it. 

The Left are once again gaslighting the public, claiming that Antifa does not exist.

They think we forgot all the blue-haired trans/furry kids burning city streets down and attacking federal buildings for years.

The Dems are begging you not to believe your own eyes. pic.twitter.com/lykrLZMsR2

Well, the Dutch don't care about tax ID numbers, and their parliament agrees with President Trump that Antifa is a thing, and that it is a violent terrorist organization that needs to be destroyed. 

Every government in the world should follow suit. https://t.co/xzBtkiWNuu

The vote is advisory--the bureaucracy has to follow through with an official designation--but this vote clearly indicates that Trump is not far out over his skis when classifying the left-wing extremist group a threat to civilization. 

JUST IN: Dutch Parliament votes in favour of my party's proposition to declare Antifa a terrorist organisation. Enough is enough! The violent and criminal terrorist organisation that is Antifa, with chapters all over the world, will finally be OUTLAWED in the Netherlands. This… https://t.co/ZuOWd6msWh

Antifa is, in fact, very organized and well-funded, although that funding is laundered through dark webs of organizations, so it is nearly impossible to find the money trail. But they show up armed and well-protected, often with multi-hundred-dollar gas masks, prepared shields, and are highly mobile. "Protesters" show up in various parts of the country on a moment's notice. 

These Antifa members caught on undercover video committing organized crime in Portland in 2021 were never charged. https://t.co/dC5WBl2vND

These apparently unemployed freaks require outside help and funding to do the damage they do. 

I suspect the entire Antifa professor field at universities works under this cover. They are both "organizers" and "researchers," so whenever they get in trouble for organizing riot mobs, they can motte-and-bailey switch identities to "just a researcher!"https://t.co/AcE325zc1b pic.twitter.com/w6nYZSQpeC

Its tentacles reach high up to academia, and its fans are in important government positions, including Minnesota's Attorney General. 

The support for terrorism on the left has a long history, and academia is one of the places where terrorists are most welcome and comfortable. Barack Obama launched his political career at the home of two 60's terrorists-turned-professors, and Chesa Boudin's parents were terrorists, and he was raised by others while they rotted in jail after being convicted of murder.

Here's his quick bio from Wikipedia:

Chesa Boudin (, CHAY-sə boo-DEEN;^[4] born August 21, 1980) is an American lawyer who served as the 29th District Attorney of San Francisco from January 8, 2020, to July 8, 2022. He is a member of the Democratic Party.

Boudin graduated from Yale University and was a Rhodes Scholar at St Antony's College, Oxford. After obtaining his Juris Doctor from Yale Law School in 2011, Boudin served as a law clerk to M. Margaret McKeown on the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. He went on to work at the San Francisco Public Defender's Office as a post-doctoral fellow in 2012. Boudin clerked for Charles Breyer on the United States District Court for the Northern District of California from 2013 and 2014 before returning to San Francisco as a deputy public defender.

Impeccable resume. Academia and left-wing judges love this s**t. And we all got to see what he did as San Francisco's District Attorney. And after he was booted--he was too destructive for even San Francisco's residents--he wound up at the University of California, Berkeley. 

They take care of their own. 

Yes, Antifa is an organization, and yes, they are terrorists. 

American Antifa are almost an entirely domestic network, but they do maintain links with Antifa in Canada and Europe. Secretary of State @SecRubio @marcorubio should consider declaring the international manifestations of Antifa as foreign terrorist entities to the U.S.… pic.twitter.com/KSAUI14HMA

Secretary of State @SecRubio @marcorubio should consider declaring the international manifestations of Antifa as foreign terrorist entities to the U.S. government. 

In 2021, German Antifa took over Leipzig’s city center and then carried out mass attacks on the public to try to intimidate judges and prosecutors handling a criminal case involving their violent members. They do the same in France and other countries

Antifa chapters actually have elaborate ways to check on potential members, and techniques for distinguishing who is and who isn't a member. Just because they are underground and have no official lists of members registered with the state doesn't mean that they are a real thing. 

Here’s Antifa International detailing how to join an Antifa cell, or to start your own with other like-minded co-conspirators. They recommend joining the Torch Antifa Network in the U.S. (Rose City Antifa is part of this), or the adjacent Antifa network, the @iww.… pic.twitter.com/c1w1qN4WA3

There is a reason why Democrats are upset that the federal government will be going after Antifa: they are the Democratic Party's brownshirts, and the Democrats don't want to lose their enforcers. They are a vital asset who can riot on demand. 

What does it tell you when the Democrats actually complain that the people who commit violence and intimidate ordinary folks are going to be the target of law enforcement? 

?BREAKING: Jesse Watters just broke down just how organized Antifa has become in the last decade.

I don't care what anyone labels these people as, they need to be HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

Nothing good about the Democrats, whose judges consistently let these terrorists go when the police arrest them. 

Where they told us our USAID money was going and where our USAID money actually went…

I'm most interested in seeing what the forensic accountants find when they trace the money. It will be a long, difficult investigation since the people involved are very sophisticated, but I am confident that the trail they find will be very interesting.
