This past weekend, as protests over the death of George Floyd raged throughout the country, President Donald Trump sought to place all the blame on antifa, a resistance philosophy that is quite literally an abbreviation of “antifascist.” This, of course, sent his glue-brained sycophants on the hunt for antifa’s…
