I would think all america other than the alt right that now has control of the republicans are anti-fascist, yes that is fair to say. As Colbert said the opposite of Alt right is not Alt left it's "not nazi's".

There is no difference between the antifa and the nazis. There are both filled with hate and love violence.

This is from CNN (Not Fox News):

What is Antifa? - CNN

Why are they controversial?
The group is known for causing damage to property during protests. In Berkeley, black-clad protesters wearing masks threw Molotov cocktails and smashed windows at the student union center where the Yiannopoulos event was to be held.
Crow, who was involved with Antifa for almost 30 years, said members use violence as a means of self-defense and they believe property destruction does not equate to violence.
"There is a place for violence. Is that the world that we want to live in? No. Is it the world we want to inhabit? No. Is it the world we want to create? No. But will we push back? Yes," Crow said.

Levin said Antifa activists feel the need to partake in violence because "they believe that elites are controlling the government and the media. So they need to make a statement head-on against the people who they regard as racist."
"There's this 'It's going down' mentality and this 'Hit them with your boots' mentality that goes back many decades to confrontations that took place, not only here in the American South, but also in places like Europe," he added.
White nationalists and other members of the so-called alt-right have denounced members of Antifa, sometimes calling them the "alt-left." Many white nationalists from the Charlottesville rallies claimed it was the Antifa groups that led the protests to turn violent.
Peter Cvjetanovic, a white nationalist who attended the Virginia protests over the weekend, said he believes the far left, including Antifa, are "just as dangerous, if not more dangerous than the right wing could ever be."
"These are people who preach tolerance and love while at the same time threatening people with a different political ideology. We go to our rallies and they harass us and attack us but they held theirs and we ignore them. You don't see right-wing protests get like this," Cvjetanovic told CNN affiliate KRNV.
But Crow said the philosophy of Antifa is based on the idea of direct action. "The idea in Antifa is that we go where they (right-wingers) go. That hate speech is not free speech. That if you are endangering people with what you say and the actions that are behind them, then you do not have the right to do that.
"And so we go to cause conflict, to shut them down where they are, because we don't believe that Nazis or fascists of any stripe should have a mouthpiece."

Funny how you guys can be against the violence and hatred of white supremacists but you are perfectly fine with the left having hatred and using violence. Just read this:

https://www.yahoo.com/news/feds-texas-man-tried-planting-bomb-confederate-statue-180252260.html

I wonder which side he was on? This bomb could have gone off and killed people.

What matters more, that the Democratic party was the home of racists 60 years ago or that the Republican party is their home now?

The spirit of forgiveness is lacking in you. By all accounts, Lee was not a scumbag and he certainly didn't look very traitorous during reconstruction where many of the victors behaved worse than the defeated.

You are all a bunch of hypocrites. At the end of the day it's all about Trump and your "gone missing" Russia investigation, and the set up by Terry Mcaullife, Governor of North Carolina, and the fools who follow him. Trump could **** gold bars, and you'd complain they were too sharp.

"Gone missing"? On what planet? McAuliffe setup? Lol.

You live in a fantasy world.
