And you still haven't explained why Biden hasn't denounced any of them,
since he's decreed that denouncing political violence is the duty of
every president.

Fact check: Joe Biden has condemned Antifa, violent protests

Wait, I thought Antifa didn't exist? Now you're claiming it does and that
Biden has condemned them?

Wow. Baby steps, I guess.

It exists as a concept, but not as an organization.

LOL! So it was a concept that was trying to burn down the federal courthouse
every night in Portland during the 2020 Summer of Love, was it?

I'm so confused about Fred Phelps' position here. These large-scale
protests that included violence, arson, and vandalism were organized
through Twitter by people forwarding tweets. An "organization" is a body
that organizes something. A protest was organized by those tweeting. The
fact that they worked in concert is what made them an organization, even
without being organized as a corporation, partnership, or unincorporated
society with charters and bylaws and other organic documents. Working
together by passing the word along is what made them an organization.

It exists as a means of organizing among those doing the organizing.
This is actual, not conceptual. Working together toward a common purpose
is all that's necessary to be an organization.

Antifa has earned its reputation for sporadic violence. But many other rumors about antifa have been spun from whole cloth, sometimes by people later identified as right-wing extremists. In June 2020, Twitter shut down multiple fake antifa accounts that were inciting violence against white suburbs; subsequent investigations tracked the accounts to Identity Evropa, a white supremacist organization.

"When we looked at the data around the insurrection, we saw literally millions of pro-Trump [internet] posts that repeated the phrase 'antifa,'" said CBSN tech reporter Dan Patterson. " [But] when we look at the data, this boogeyman is nonexistent."

Antifa is the boogeyman to the right.

  It's all the same shit over and over again.  "Fauci is a criminal." "Vaccines will kill you."  "Hunter Biden has too big a penis."  Ad nauseum.
