Was thinking about this all night after hearing the statement before bed. It reminds me of a right wing ex-family friend that blamed antifa and Soros for everything. Right wingers genuinely think there is a Soros backed terrorist organization called Antifa similar to the Proud Boys, etc (which actually exist) that cause everything they hate.

At the time he was explaining this, it was in regards to how all the college kids protesting Gaza "had the same tents" (aka the cheapest tents on Amazon lol) and that Antifa was backing them. Basically, it's the propaganda boogyman they've used for a few years now.

But here's what I'm trying to figure out ... What happens when you chase after the boogyman? Sure the people in charge are just using it as an excuse to be anyone they don't like, but if you're a true believer like the followers, what will constitute evidence of being Antifa? Owning a fucking tent?
