    Antifa literally means anti-fascist. The guys who stormed the beaches of Normandy were “antifa.”

        What “organization”? There is no antifa “organization”. Anti-fascism is an ideology. If you are opposed to fascism, you are anti-fascist.

        Don’t worry. I’m not accusing you of being opposed to fascism.

        Introduced, not passed. They are not a terror organization and calling them as such is an attempt to discredit a political movement for the sake of fascists and racists. There have been analyses, reports, and studies that have concluded that antifa is not a major domestic terrorism risk.

        Introduced congressional resolutions are not known for their objectivism. I’m not saying the opposite is true, only that what something is has very little to do with what individual political figures want it to be. I mean, Indiana tried to legislate the value of π to be exactly 3.
