Antifa is a small organization, and I don't belong to it. I know that Trump uses them as the linchpin of one of his false equivalence arguments: yeah, white supremacist and Nazi very fine people organizations blah blah, but what about Antifa. You are strikingly unoriginal in adopting this Trump meme. But you're lying, and you know you are, when you say that their aim is to eliminate the free speech of those who hold differing views. That's bullshit, and a stupid statement to make.
You might be surprised that I actually support the right of a raving fascist white supremacist lunatic to visit a college campus and spout his filth--while Antifa does not. I also support the right of Nazis to march in the streets--while Antifa does not. My views align very closely with those of the ACLU--and that organization is often excoriated for their defense of the right to free speech of some of the most vile scum on earth. Those vile scum include Trumpers.
I've not heard a peep from the ACLU about Antifa beating people with differing views.
