Even if you accept as a premise that every single antifa is violent, this Fox narrative posits "fascist = American."https://twitter.com/bungdan/status/902546086522433536 …

Errm, the violence is the defining characteristic of antifa. Someone who's against fascism but isn't violent is just a normal person.

That is the premise I'm letting people assume, all evidence notwithstanding. But why would America prefer fascistic violence over antifa?

You're assuming that the latter helps stop the former rather than enabling it, which historically speaking is a very dicey proposition.

Also, there's a pattern of intentional violence against journalists to stop them filming antifa actions which ought to trouble the press.

And I'm ceding both of those as the premise here. Still doesn't change Fox's pro-fascist position.
