2. There is no American group that I know of calling itself "Antifa"...

I would suggest spelling it out as 'anti-fascist', otherwise you are playing right into MAGA's hands and may ultimately be labelled as a terrorist organization by the Trump Admin, which has very little adherence to Constitutional laws.

The Trump Admin is using 'Antifa' as an umbrella term to refer to all leftist groups that are calling out Fascism in our government. They fear that this is stirring up terrorism against the government, thus they prefer to label all leftist groups as terrorist "organizations". There will always be those on the extreme far left who may pose a terroristic threat, but the simplest way for the Trump admin to reduce this threat is to stop acting like fascists...very simple. Their actions, however, seem to indicate that they are doing the exact opposite, probably because their top priority is to distract the public from issues like what is contained in the Epstein files!
