>these Antifa people (who "don't exist" I've heard people argue about their identity and level of organisation, but "don't exist"? If this narrative is out there at all, it must be extremely fringe.

Rep. Nadler called Antifa "imaginary" on the floor of the House of Representatives.[1] I haven't been able to find the full quote with context, so take that as you will. The Daily Beast (not exactly representative of mainstream journalism, I concede) published an article saying ""Antifa" doesn't exist the way Trump pretends it does."[2] Whether those are extremely fringe is left to the reader. DuckDuckGo admittedly returned more results from right-leaning sources clutching pearls that Democrats and media outlets would dare say such things than results from left-leaning sources saying it explicitly. Such is the nature of the polarized times, I suppose. But I have a few left-wing friends who have said similar things.
