1. classify any supporters of the right who commit adverse action against the state, as leftwing/antifa, or a plot to frame the right 2. therefore isolating any potential violent supporters of the right, from the very side they support 3. blacks dont realize trump is a bolshevik stooge anyway, so no great loss. 4. most regular americans don't either, so eh. The feds went after them because these were actual "right wingers". "The Base" is a terrorist organization the FBI tried to create on the right (and failed), and then shifted to the left. Antifa made a statement on FBI request, to isolate these guys from the right. If the right is allowed to see people on our side involved in any real action, it might break the demoralization/suppression campaign used to keep the right pacified. That can't be allowed to happen. Hence you see news events like this.
