If there's anything that ought to give everyone the creeps, it's the idea of Antifa running whole cities. It's the idea of Antifa no longer being crushed like bugs for their rioting and looting, but instead simply taking over. Imagine a city run by Antifa. Image a gargantuan CHOP zone with no place to run. Imagine Antifa as the stodgy establishment, there to conserve the ways of Antifa. Incredible as that sounds, we see signs of that happening in Portland and Denver, not just turning those cities to rubble, but destined to eventually take over a hollowed out Democratic Party and go national.
Sure, it sounds crazy. But examples of Antifa's presence, not in the streets, but now in the halls of government, abound.
Via Instapundit, here's the first one, from the Blaze:
When she is asked if she is "Antifa," [Portland mayoral frontrunner Sarah] Iannarone replied, "Antifa is not anything more than an idea, that's what vice president Biden explained to us. It's people who oppose anti-fascism. And I strongly oppose anti-fascism and I adopt and implement peaceful responses to that. And that is how I describe my position on this issue."
"Donald Trump has decided to make the enemy of groups of people who oppose his bullies and his militia forces," she continued. "But I'm not going to be caught up in that rhetoric because it's false. It creates division in our society. It creates division in our city. What we need is every single Portlander faced in the right direction, saying 'Hate is not welcome here.'"

Wearing Communist iconography should be as socially unacceptable as wearing a swastika.
Neah.
Y’all got it wrong.
Once Antifa is in charge, the chaos and anarchy ends.
The inconvenient ‘lose ends’ disappear (prison or mass graves) and the legalized confiscation and looting begins.
It will be very orderly looting, otherwise the new boss might not get all of his share.
And you can’t say a damn thing against it, because their interpretation of the First Amendment doesn’t protect ‘hate.’
Fascists and communists are rivals on the left. She is a communist and I am sure she hates fascists. But, she is calling freedom-loving patriots fascists. Fascists are only a few degrees to the right of communists so there is not much difference between the two to those on the right. When she says she hates fascists what she is saying is that she hates freedom-loving patriots. Ironically, what she is technically saying is that patriots are almost like her which is not true because communism is closer to fascism than individual liberty and freedom. Those who say fascism is far right do not know what they are talking about.
Two rabid dogs fighting over the same bone.
Hey! I oppose anti-fascism too. Maybe we aren't so different after all.
The Nazi Party became the Establishment in Germany...Communism became the Establishment in Russia and China...
Socialism became the Establishment in Venezuela...
Pol Pot--whatever you call that--became the Establishment in Cambodia...
The radical left has been established in big corporate offices and universities for decades. The cancel culture is much older than most people have wanted to face up to. They’ve allowed men to be individually plucked from their midst and ejected from society millions of times.
If Bedin becomes persident, maybe “Escape from New York” was a look to the future.
“It’s people who oppose anti-fascism.”
Yes, that stupid.
Pretty much just more commies, but with a catchy moniker...Khmer Rouge.
Boy, Denver went down the flusher at breakneck speed.
The percentage of people who have zero exposure to the truth is breathtaking!
Satan is working overtime.
Glad someone else caught that!
What we need is every single Portlander faced in the right direction, saying ‘Hate is not welcome here.’”
Or else!
Antifa is not anything more than an idea, that’s what vice president Biden explained to us.
Guess how Hitler got elected in 1939.
