No. With all respect, I think you are wrong.

The ‘antifa’ represent such small numbers that they would be rendered a nonentity if NOBODY showed up to counter them and give fodder to the news cameras. (And most of them are NOT dedicated ‘revolutionaries’ - most of the ones who are not just ignorant adolescents acting-out, simply represent a ‘rent-a-crowd’).

By trying to fight this fake ‘movement’, you are playing into its hands and giving it validation.

They are tempting you, and you are falling into the trap.

(And the entrenched politicians don’t care what goes on in the streets - they have their agenda, and the money they’ve pocketed for promoting it. They are going to vote their interests regardless. Why don’t you get all those people to clog the pols’ phone lines and mailboxes, instead of going out into the streets? That would probably sway them far more than a skirmish in the streets would - because they already KNOW that the street provocations are FAKE - and I assume they DO want to get re-elected...)

You don’t think Pelosi cares what goes on in the streets? Are you serious?

From what other freepers with more inside knowledge have posted over the years the DC calculus goes like this, 1 person in the streets is worth 100 letters which are worth 10,000 emails. So, yes, they do pay attention to the streets. In fact, I would submit that is why the GOP is so spineless. Their base never takes it to the streets. Which is also why the BSM so vigorously suppresses them from doing so by calling them racists Nazi White Supremacists.

In case you had not noticed, when nobody shows up for Antifa to beat on the just destroy property, burn cars, smash stores. So, no, ignoring them does not work.

And if you had not noticed, when there are no racist Nazis for them to beat up the BSM response to their vandalism is “We have to try to understand why these fellow citizens are so angry.” Not, “these violent thugs need to be stopped”.
