It's interesting to look back at word origins. "Antifa" is borrowed from a shortened version of a German word for "anti-fascist" and was first used by a short-lived party to counter the German movement towards that ideology. Republicans/GOP/MAGA would like it to be short-lived here too, and like "woke" have hijacked the word to mean something it never did. Just like "woke", it's telling to ask them to define or explain it - they can't, it's just a rallying soundbite.
LOL, Governor DeSantis' lawyer was forced to say it out loud in court.
