The left's foot soldiers, known as Antifa, like to view themselves as the good guys in the room. They thump their chests and say they're standing up for the oppressed and resisting fascism, but they're really just brainwashed thugs who will sink to some pretty abominable lows in order to make sure their politics reign supreme.
Just to catch you up, their "politics" is anti-Americanism in any form.
Antifa's most recent egregious action involves descending on the Seattle MayDay USA worship event, a family-friendly worship service at Cal Anderson Park on Saturday. Antifa became violent with attendees, assaulting and harassing people coming and going from the event. Twenty-three arrests were made as police attempted to protect the Christian attendees.

True to Democrat form, Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell blamed the Christians for the violence, calling it a "far-right rally," and what's more, accused the Christians of holding their event in the same park that CHAZ/CHOP happened in to stoke anger and division with the symbolism. According to The Post Millennial, it was actually city officials who orchestrated events so that the MayDay USA event had to take place at that location:
However, newly surfaced information revealed that the location of the event—Cal Anderson Park on Capitol Hill—was not the first choice of MayDay USA organizers. While they initially proposed hosting the event on Pike Street near the iconic Pike Place Market, a city official instead recommended “other Seattle Parks locations,” including Cal Anderson Park.
This revelation sparked criticism of Mayor Harrell’s handling of the situation. His administration's role in steering the event toward the park clashes with his later public condemnation, which framed the location choice as a deliberate affront to LGBTQ+ residents. The contradiction fueled accusations of political posturing and led to public outcry.

Among those who got caught up in Antifa's attempt to assert its dominance over the people was a mother who had a small baby and a frightened toddler in tow. Antifa members screamed at the mother and got in her face as she looked bewildered and frightened. Beside her, the toddler was crying as Antifa screamed and pressed in around them.
Police had to show up and help escort the woman and her family to safety, and at one point, a man wearing what looks like pink sunglasses in his hair attempted to charge into the crowd where the woman was standing. Police took him down immediately. Antifa members then began chanting "f*** you, pig" at the police as they arrested the man.
Eventually, police had to assist the mother by picking the child up and carrying him out themselves.

I've seen a lot of responses asking how the mother could have brought her children there in good conscience, and I have some thoughts about that.
For one, this was a family event where mothers and fathers should have been able to peacefully take their children to a place of fellowship and worship. There was no reason for these people to be attacked, but Antifa believes that any event that runs contrary to their ideological rigidity needs to be invaded and destroyed.
People should be able to attend events, including religious events, without worrying about their religious freedoms being restricted by psychopaths. Restricting ourselves out of fear is not the answer.
Secondly, I think it's important to note that while we may know it would have been dangerous to attend an event like that in Seattle, given Antifa's actions there, not everyone pays attention to the news like we do. It's likely that the mother didn't know it would get that bad, and judging by the look on her face, she was entirely surprised to find herself in that situation.
And she shouldn't have been in that situation, not because she shouldn't have put herself in it, but because Antifa shouldn't be forcing themselves on the public like this.
But this is what the left has devolved into. Radical activists surrounding families with small children, lunging at them and screaming obscenities, as Democrat politicians accuse Christian families of being instigators of the wrongs done to them.
No wonder they keep losing influence.
The Democrat Party has never been less popular as voters reject its globalist agenda.
