Anti-fascists love to intimidate others by claiming a moral high ground, even if that high ground is below sea level. Anti-fascists promoted the destruction of minority-owned small businesses in the summer of 2020 in the name of fighting systemic racism, anti-fascists trampled the Bill of Rights during COVID lockdowns for the sake of public health.
