Democrats have a new strategy for dealing with political violence: deny its existence. So instead of condemning riots or naming perpetrators, they simply claim the boogeyman doesn’t exist. That’s the theme of the latest supercut — left-wing pundits all insisting Antifa is just a myth, a “moniker,” a chat-room legend.
We hear lines like, “This is not an organization… it is in ways mythology,” and that “there is no organization called Antifa.” Others insist its violence is “rare and limited” compared to right-wing extremists, or relegated to dark corners of Discord and 4chan. Suddenly, four-letter acronyms substitute for real discussion.
It’s a masterclass in gaslighting. Street clashes? Tear gas? Broken windows? Just local “friction,” they’ll say — no movement, just myth. The same outlets who once treated Antifa as a universal threat now portray claims of its existence as conspiracy theories by the paranoid right.
But here’s the kicker: pretending your enemy doesn’t exist isn’t neutrality. It’s selective denial. Instead of confronting lawlessness, they erase it. If violence—or the threat of it—suits their narrative, they’ll fantasize it. If it doesn’t, they’ll pretend it’s fiction.
Watch the supercut. It’s not just about Antifa. It’s about the left rewriting the script so nothing they dislike gets to be real — especially when the midterms demand an enemy they can’t let stick.
