4. the Allies didn't call themselves antifa, so why take credit for their victory under this goofy name?

It's not like they were even anti-fascist, really. Not if it served their country's interests. Like I've said here before, it just sounds goofy considering Churchill funneled money secretly to Franco to keep him out of the war.

Hardly "antifa," that. Just strategy to help the UK and prevent another front from opening up. But he WAS helping awful fascists for years.

I just don't see the benefit or any plus side to using that goofy foreign word in this country. It has no relevance to what the Democrats or the Trumpscum are doing. It confuses a lot of people. It doesn't help at the ballot box, it doesn't help with messaging, it doesn't help convince anybody to stop supporting Trump.

Let them chase the antifa monsters that don't really exist and let's mock them for that bullshit rather than confusing the issue. Hell, most people couldn't even define "fascism" coherently, much less tell you anything useful about "antifa."
