Antifa is considered a domestic terrorist organization to the trump admin.

Even though being antifa is simply being against fascism.

"Being antifa" has a lot more connotations than just being against fascism.

Equating the antifa group and it's loose "members" with just an anti-ideology is a cop-out that isn't helpful to differentiating a desirable mindset (anti-fascism) with the undesirable tactics that many "members" of Antifa use.

It's not though. Not in any legal sense.
Is it or is it not? Per this tweet, I really don’t know: https://mobile.twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1267129644...

Fortunately our legal system doesn't operate on the basis of Trump's tweets.
