New role for Antifa: Joe Biden’s 'shock troops'

The election of President-elect Joe Biden does not signal the end of violent anarchist group antifa, sometimes portrayed by sympathetic media as a national anti-Trump movement.

Instead, according to a journalist who has tracked its every move, antifa is likely to feel emboldened to challenge pro-Trump critics of the new Democratic administration.

And following Wednesday’s violent protests in the halls of Congress by Trump supporters, said Andy Ngo, “They will feel, in their own right, legitimized” to retaliate.

Ngo is a self-made antifa expert and critic who has used his platform on Twitter, with 842,200 followers, and as editor-at-large at the Post Millennial to publicize the violence of the group, including his own beating and death threats from members.

Next month, he is publishing his first book about the group, Unmasked: Inside Antifa's Radical Plan to Destroy Democracy, which includes excerpts from training books, identifies key leaders, and reveals a plan to recruit members through Major League Soccer fan clubs, including those for the Portland Timbers.

One thing is for sure, he wrote: Antifa is here to stay with a new role highlighted by the book’s publisher, Center Street. “Antifa,” it said in promoting Ngo’s book, “will become even more influential in the Biden era by serving as the far-left’s shock troops to intimidate political opponents, undermine elections, and push for radical, violent revolution.”

“Ashli Babbitt deserved it”

In an interview from England, forced there temporarily by repeated antifa death threats, Ngo said he wrote the book to keep the heat on antifa and media outlets that he said cover pro-Trump clashes more critically than the group’s firebombing of federal buildings and seizure of city streets in Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington.

“People are responding like they're very, very shocked,” he said of Wednesday’s MAGA Capitol attack. “And I'm wondering where the hell were you all when we had thousands of people for months in Portland try also to break into a federal building and to burn it down, actually. They came with Molotov cocktails, and, actually, they used ropes at strategic points to break down this reinforced barrier, and they tried to storm the building multiple times. They attacked police and damaged their eyes with lasers. Where the hell were your condemnations during that time? Why was I one of the lone voices?”

Brown shirts ho! 🐂💩

[nevergore]

They will be shocked when they go up against patriots.....

Antifa: Joe Biden’s ‘shock troops’ who are getting better equipped and possibly armed as time goes on - may become 0bama’s standing civil army as well funded and equipped as the US military

[mountainlion]

Germany in WWII had the brown shirts. The south after the civil war had the KKK to keep minorities in order. Muslims have terrorists. Take over Wall Street, ANTIFA, BLM and such are current terror groups used for intimidation.

Acorn, Organizing America, Occupy Wall Street ———>>> Antifa and BLM

They would not be good for long. They will want to be paid.

I’ve seen the antifa videos of what happens when people stand up to antifa. Antifa usually gets beaten and they run away. Things will get really bad for them when they think they can hunt people they don’t like and they get hunted back. I’m sure there are areas of the country where antifa bodies could be stacked like cordwood and no one saw a thing.

Until people have had enough and start shooting them because they are in fear for their lives. Seems a reasonable response since these lawless thugs just want to beat people who can’t defend themselves.

[vigilence]

Antifa is basically an anarchist successor movement to the Occupy movement but with offensive tactics. They currently tolerate the left because the left is courting them. They’ll turn on the left after the inauguration. Just my two cents.

[Dogbert41]

Antifa is protected by the government. Boom.

[DoughtyOne]

That’s my take also.

Folks won’t believe it, but the government troops will line
up with ANTIFA, not us.

Would love to be wrong, but look at what took place on
Capital Hill. They won’t even acknowledge ANTIFA was
involved.

They’re not going after them. They are going after us.

NEW role?

I’ve been calling them the DNCs and the Deep State’s ‘Sturmabteilung’ (”Brownshirts” in black clothes) for about a year now.

[antidemoncrat]

If antifa comes up on 2nd Amendment folks protesting and try what they did in Seattle and Portland they will running back to mom’s basement. They only seem to fight when it’s 20:1 in their favor and they can attack from behind.

[Pajamajan]

Well isn't that special? 😒

[voicereason]

They were always Biden’s shock troops

Obama talked about having his side having their own army: Youth Regiment.

Kyle Rittenhouse needs to be acquitted on all charges. Further, any civil liability case needs to fail.
