"Once you let a nazi in your bar, it becomes a nazi bar."
And does that apply equally to Antifa?
Are you really defending that based on who does it?
Because their motivation is to remove any “undesirable” from their sight, and their definition of “undesirable” is wide and expanding and imminent, at least in the US [0]
In contrast, there has been one single murder in the past 26 years, where a far left activist was charged in the US, although subsequently shot and killed by the police [1].
So, I’m evaluating motivation here.
There’s no such thing as “both sides are bad”. Centrism is a lazy and uninformed view of the world.

No, there's no such thing as "your side is also bad so my side therefore is not".
But both sides can easily be wrong. You don't need to draw false equivalences to condemn two sets of people at once.
His own words: "you had people – and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally – but you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists, okay? And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly. Now, in the other group also, you had some fine people, but you also had troublemakers and you see them come with the black outfits and with the helmets and with the baseball bats – you had a lot of bad people in the other group too."
There are many good reasons to dislike Trump but you weaken them by association when you repeat the false accusations and misrepresentations.
