Which political party actually acts like Nazis? Trump Jr says it's the Democrats.

Antifa was created to protect protesters from fascist (generally white supremecist or alt-right) violence. They decided that violence required a violent response. They were not created in a vacuum: without alt-right violence or threat of violence, there wouldn’t have been Antifa.

Your myopic condemnation of Antifa violence without considering the violence that spawned it is disingenuous. It harkens back to the pearl clutching in regards to the Black Panthers, who similarly, were a group willing to do violence to protect the black community from the violence perpetrated against them.

Personally, I think Antifa is wrong. I think it is counterproductive and vulnerable to attracting those who want to do violence for violence sake. But I see them as a very small movement not particularly embraced by the mainstream Left.

One of these days you'll stop ignoring things that are inconveniant to your argument.
Here's a little juicy bit from it that Trump supporters often utilize to defend Trump:
We’ve received many inquiries from readers about the authenticity of the quotations featured in the cartoon, and they are all statements made by Donald Trump. Although each is presented in isolation, they fairly reflect the context in which Trump uttered them.
People can complain about Trump being misunderstood and taken out of context with things like that cartoon, but there is no misunderstanding and the context is clear. He's hardly any different than a high school bully.

That would be the Democrats.
So dedicated to your craft. Look at these DemoKKKrats! I bet you believe that the confederate south was left-wing in 1860 too!

There are violent, Right Wing Authoritarians on all sides, including the Left. But they're a very small minority amongst the more tolerant, compassionate Left.
I agree with Falvlun, violent intolerance in defense of tolerance is counter productive, it's grist for the right wing propaganda machine.

Brennan on Trump's performance: Treasonous - CNN Video

Treason does carry the maximum sentence of the death penalty... Jus' sayin'

Ah, so calling for enforcement of laws is a call for violence now? Hope that one doesn't come back to bite you.

OK, so, half squinting and looking sideways, you and @Nowhere Man have been able to come up with 4 in almost a week. Is that it? Do you need more time? How long will it take me to find 4 named Republicans unambiguously calling for violence?

Well, let's start with this one; All the times Trump has called for violence at his rallies

Then this guy Alex Jones, one of President Trump’s favorite broadcasters, is calling for civil war

Here's 3 Kentucky Republican candidate suggests shooting Congressman John Yarmuth over NRA stance

4 Michigan Republican suggests 'another Kent State' for liberal protesters - NY Daily News

and 5 Congressman: If female GOP senators were South Texas men, I'd challenge them to a duel

Did that by myself in about 30 seconds.

Well it's unanimous then. Everybody agrees with the call of violence across the board. The left is finally waking up from Teletubby world and drinking some coffee.
