The racist left will drive the “normal” right into the welcoming arms of the racist right.
I’m think that’s not in their interests. Not near term and not long term.
I don’t get it. They are starting a fight they absolutely cannot survive, much less win.

Good point. I have more sympathies with the KKK, Aryan Brotherhood and skinheads than I do with Democrats, Antifa and BLM activists.
I get it. From their perspective this is a fight they must fight and a fight they have to win for survival. Excellent article yesterday about this kind of activism isn’t what you do to win people over. It isn’t because everyone knows it doesn’t work. This is what you do to intimidate your opponents and suppress them. This is how you show the world you are the ones in power. This is why the left supports and encourages them. They are the “boggieman” the GOP wants so you will beg them for protection. This is why why “We The People” cannot let them have the streets. If our government won’t crush them we have to. Maybe I have got something wrong here and I am sure I will shortly be disabused of my misperceptions. Right now, this is the way I see it. It is always about power. This is something that needs to be done just as surely as we need to kill 0bamacare, we need tax reform, we need a lot of things. There is much work needs doing. But we can’t neglect this piece. They have to be shown they DON’T have this power. They have to be shown they will be stood up to and crushed without mercy. I suspect if we can start to win on this front the rest will fall in line pretty well. If the Rat politicians see their shock troops in the streets are being met and defeated their obstreporous behavior will certainly be modulated.
Am I advocating violence? I am certainly advocating violence as a tool to defeat violent people. If the government won’t use it’s legitimate force to combat this violence I don’t know of another way of ending it. As observed before, violence is not the end of politics, just “politics by other means”. Antifa simply has to be crushed or we need to start looking for another country. I don’t think we are welcome anywhere else and we are becoming increasingly unwelcome here.
