The alt right are still the real monsters here. They're just as NYCrysis described, and Trump is enabling them. In fact, during his rallies he'd encourage them to attack his critics.

I don't even hear about the alt right much if at all. I'm not arguing they aren't bad people, I'm simply arguing Antifa is horrible and appear to be more prevalent.

Is Trump enabling the alt right? He's doing a terrible job in my opinion. He should encourage them to harass people like democrats do with Antifa.

There's a reason you don't hear a lot about the Alt-Right. Outside of the internet, they have very little influence, no media backing and absolutely no financial backing. In fact, they're actually falling apart because they're having trouble transitioning from internet shit posting to an actual political movement. The fact that they have very little influence is part of the reason you don't see them committing violence. They know they can't get away with it.

Then you have Antifa, a group that does have more of an influence outside the internet. Most people who consider themselves Antifa come from an upper middle class background and had joined the movement while in college, which is often where the recruiting happens. The media will often downplay the violence committed by Antifa, meaning that they do have some media backing. Though ironically enough, in Europe, the same media who was defending Antifa had been physically assaulted by them before. It has been suspected that Antifa cells have received financial backing of some kind. I don't know if they're still growing but for a while they were and it turns out the FBI had actually been investigating Antifa for quite some time. Not to mention places like New Jersey actually classify Antifa as a terrorist organization. The Alt-Right doesn't get that kind of attention. Antifa not only commits acts of violence, they don't hide it. In fact, they even try to justify it. Most of the time, they get away with it. The only time don't is when they get arrested in states that have laws against wearing masks during a protest. These laws were actually designed to put a stop to the Ku Klux Klan and it worked because you don't much from them these days.

So yes, Antifa as of right now is more dangerous than the Alt-Right could ever hope to be and they'll probably be around longer than the Alt-Right.
