The president signed an executive order this month designating antifa—short for anti-fascist—as a “domestic terrorist organization,” citing its supposed “armed standoffs with law enforcement” and “organized riots.” There are a couple of problems with this. The first is that antifa is not a cohesive organization but rather a loose, leaderless ideology that brings together various individuals and groups under the banner of opposing fascism. Yes, the Trump administration should “smash” antifa, said National Review in an editorial. “We’ve seen what happens” when political leaders obsess over “supposed domestic political threats: You get cock-up investigations” in which FBI agents and informers entrap people into phony terrorist plots. That seems unlikely with the White House intent on stirring up “anti-antifa panic” while ignoring violent right-wing extremism, said Christopher Mathias in MSNBC.com.
