It seems that Democrat deputy chair Ellison supports anifta, while some are on the fence. But all you have to do, is separate yourself from them. I stated, that I don’t support the white supremacists in cause or action. It would also seem that saying that Democrats can’t be civil with all this stuff going on, is moving towards anifta not away.
What exactly are you basing your claim that Ellison supports Antifa upon? The rest of your post appears to be little more than waffling regarding your earlier statements. And it's 'Antifa', not 'Anifta'.

LOL, you "got it from google"......
No, you got it from conservatives on twitter who don't read books, that provided the grist for the fox propaganda mill. The book was written by Mark Bray, a dartmouth visiting scholar , as a history of the movement up to the present moment. Here, enjoy an interview.

Funny joke, I guess, in the conservative hinterlands?
In any case..it doesn't matter whether or not dems are pro facism, antifa is antifacist - that's the entire shebang.

Do you disagree? That the antifacist movement has aligned itself squarely against the trumpster -is- a cause for concern.
Firstly, in that the antifacist movement has cause for that alignment. That's bad enough (to my american ears, at least). Secondly, in that the few times the antifa movement has calcified to become a centrally organized group of die hard operatives..they became legitimate domestic terrorists.
We're used to our administrations breeding foreign terrorists. The ocean is big, they're rarely a problem. The possibility that we are now breeding them at home at a previously implausible rate, as well.....well....
