What connection is that?
I doubt if any of the Republicans wear pillow cases and sheets or goose step.
I doubt also that any Democrats go about singing the red flag.

Antifa is what they call themselves. But their name is a misnomer since are very fascist in their tactics. No, they are not equivalent, but they need to go away and stay out of any protest against the right, they are not helping.
The Ultra-Left including Antifa and the Ultra right are essentially the same in mentality.
Republicans at large have been perfectly happy to accept the alt right as the new wave of young republicanism up until a few days ago. The cynic in my thinks that they have ridden this horse as far as they could and not that they can't ride it any further, the only course of action left is to shoot it in the head and keep walking.
Also who is "The ultra-left?" Just anyone whichphilosophy decides? Kinda makes it useless terminology then. Also no, Antifa are nothing like the nazis. They do not pose an existential threat to people's lives the same way nazis do.
I think what the alt-right was able to do successfully, that is - the actual alt-right, the white-supremacists who came up with the word - was convince a lot of people in the mainstream that it was simply an anti-establishment wing of the right. Essentially, anti-establishment sentiment was used as a Trojan Horse for white-nationalist thought.
What racist policies has the current Republican government pushed through. In fact there were a lot of protests to this effect.
As in the UK there is a lot of difference between a right centre/right wing politician and an ultra Right wing one. Similarly there is a lot of difference between a conservative Muslim and a Jihadist.

ANTIFA is also militant. They are not Nazi, just the flip side. They are often involved in violence, hence symbiotically they need the loony right to interact with.
Isn't this just another way of saying that the looney right is the cause of Antifa?
They feed off each other. Actually Antifa was originally formed in response to National Socialism before the war.
