It's a communist terrorist movement comprised of many individual cells that have loose organizational structure. I mean, it mirrors most modern terrorist organizations.

I've seen fantastical thinking from both wings. It's not unique to leftists. People in the middle usually do more sensible thinking about issues that matter, because they can't lean on an extreme dogma to channel their ideas.

FBI has made more than 80 federal arrests of looters and arsonists in recent weeks. But, so far, the most apparent protest violence that falls within the FBI’s jurisdiction is not coming from BLM activists or antifa, but from police. North Carolina lawyer T Greg Doucette and mathematician Jason Miller have compiled a dataset of more than 500 incidents of police violence against protesters that have been captured on video by activists and journalists since George Floyd’s death. Several of the officers responsible for this violence have been fired, and a handful have been charged with state violations, but no federal civil rights charges appear to have been brought yet against law enforcers who have been caught on tape attacking peaceful protesters and reporters.

This isn’t surprising, as the justice department rarely brings civil rights charges against police officers for acts of brutality. If the FBI really believes unaccountable police violence against African Americans might provoke retaliation by “Black Identity Extremists”, it would put its investigative authorities to better use by holding those officers accountable, rather than monitoring a new generation of Black activists.

Democrats are out there looting and burning down their own cities, and there is plenty of video and documented evidence to prove it.
Where is the proof that they are actually registered voters and are registered as Democrats? Lots of young people under 30 don't want to be bothered with having to register and no doubt, many of them register as independent or 3rd party when they do.

When a conspiracy theory pops up that makes look Republicans looks bad all of a sudden it’s “how crazy do you have to be to believe this” lol
They gotta scapegoat somebody for the ills of the world. It's no longer in to scapegoat homosexuals for that.

But the question was why do Republicans want to live like it's the 1950s?

What's dumb and naive is your taking one neighbor as an indicator of all Democrats and your assuming that his news (which you don't identify) was fake. Where was he born? Why don't you take him as an indicator of all people born there?

There is actually some evidence that there are right-ringers pretending to be Antifa, but more than that, what about all the right-wing fantasies like Pizzagate?
