The only reason anyone knows about antifa (we called them Black Bloc in my day) outside of activist circles is because you had all these Nazis running around after Trump in places like Charlottesville or coming in to places like Portland expressly to stir trouble and pick fights. It was a niche group before that.
What really incited groups like the proud boys was what happened in Berkeley where a mob of black shirts attacked and beat up a group of Trump supporters at a rally. That was the one where the college professor was arrested for smashing Trumpies with a bicycle chain. Then a mob of pro-Trump people showed up a few days later and ran the ANTIFA types off with more violence.
Yes lots of extremely stupid people blamed antifa for the violence during the BLM protests when it was the cops who went on a spree of beating and gassing and maiming the people who protested George Floyd's murder.
Riiiight. They were mostly peaceful protesters who caused billions in damages as they burned down and looted buildings. Wanna see a few hundred videos of them attacking people in the streets? There were a ton going around the last couple of years so I'm sure I can find you some.
