This is interesting. During the presidential debates in 2020, Joe Biden informed Donald Trump that Antifa was "just an idea." It wasn't a real domestic terror threat like white supremacists, school board parents, and traditional Catholics And yet every city in America — every blue city, at least — has an Antifa chapter.
I really like this next clip for two reasons. First, It should speak to Biden since he's a fan of challenging potential voters to push-up contests. Second, in broad daylight, surrounded by "normal" young people, Antifa looks just as pathetic as it is. It's just an idea, but it has a uniform: all-black clothing, a facemask and goggles, maybe a bicycle helmet and skateboard padding for armor, and of course a black umbrella to block anyone who tries to film them.
Frat bros at University of Washington in Seattle challenge antifa to a push-up contest. Something is happening. There is more on the ground spontaneous resistance to these protests than all others in recent years put together. They’re inspiring a disgust reflex in normal people. pic.twitter.com/FdG4ChhBsO

Check out how scary they look. They actually dress this way on purpose to leave their mothers' basements.
It looks like it's Frat Boy Summer, with frat boys helping the police tear down illegal encampments, protecting the American flag from being replaced with the Palestinian flag, and ridiculing Antifa. I knew there were more "normal" students than protesters by a wide margin — students who are there to attend class, take final exams, and attend graduation.
The fact that the far left looks so dorky when normal people without masks show up and just make fun of them is destroying their movement

Proud Boy morons can't destroy antifa because they validate the LARP by fighting them. Frat boy mockery is infinitely more effective https://t.co/4vhBoIpQ18
It is more effective, it's just been less easy than on college campuses where people have lives and jobs and can't just make fun of the Antifa clowns all day.
It says something about the state of affairs when frat bros are the voice of reason on college campuses

I hope those guys are careful. Antifa have umbrellas!

For all the handwringing over giving these protestors the pushback they want, this simple mockery seems to be pretty effective.

Thank God. It’s good to hear that a return to sanity is gaining ground.

Toxic masculinity for the win

They look totally normal all dressed in black, huddled together, masked up to show their loyalty, like some sort of soy man phalanx.

Do those Antifa dudes have any idea how ridiculous they look?

They think they look cool. Was it Chris Cuomo who compared these clowns to the soldiers who stormed Normandy? The original anti-fascists, right?
