That's what makes it so useful to them. If Antifa doesn’t exist, then they get to make it up. And that means they get to decide who's in it.
And of course, once they decide you're a member of Antifa, that makes you a suspected terrorist. And suspected terrorists don't get things like a right to a trial. Suspected terrorists get shipped off to Guantanamo. Oh but you're not actually a terrorist? How do you plan to prove that in court, if you don't have a right to a day in court?
All that shit that everyone let slide when it was being used to hunt AL Quaida or whatever; this is where it leads. Once you decide that certain people don't get human rights, all they have to do is expand the definition of certain people.

"Because the power of law enforcement under President Trump's leadership will be used to find you, will use to take away your money, take away your power, and if you've broken the law, to take away your freedom." -Stephen Miller
This is how they're going to prevent future elections. Any large left-wing donors can be labeled as supporters of terrorism and have their assets seized and be thrown in jail. Anybody who protests can be labeled a terrorist, anyone who says things on the Internet can be said to be 'supporting terrorism'.
After 9/11 we gave the government ridiculous domestic spying powers in order to catch terrorists and the mechanism that they built was described by Edward Snowden as turnkey totalitarianism. They've turned the key, labeled their political rivals as terrorists and are going to use the massive domestic spying tools in order to persecute and jail their political opponents.
Can we also designate HYDRA while we're at it? And what about COBRA, from G.I. Joe?
It's best we're thorough if we're in the process of labeling fictitious organizations.
So what terrorist attacks is antifa guilty of pulling off?
WW2, obviously 🙄

Fuck you, orange pig.
I suppose this will please MAGA, in spite of making no sense.
lol. Who is in charge of antifa? Let’s bring the leader of antifa up here….
Any leadership on the left at all is now antifa. And all can now be arrested and vanished forever.
Publicly speak out against Trump? Now you get to go to gitmo.

Rebrand as Antipedo and see what he does.
How long until they outlaw the Fediverse? How long until Lemmy becomes Illegal?
Is it a coincidence that he's had this bright idea while visiting with Starmer? Maybe they had some nice chats about pensioners being arrested for having Palestine flags

Ahaha yes, good one, The Onion!
…wait…
Next he’s gonna put out a warrant for the bogeyman. Senile fuck.
Ok, now USA is officialy a nazi country. Nice to know.
Fash gonna fash.
ARREST STARMER AND LAMMY, War criminal, authoritarian, pandering orwellian pieces of shit. Ironically got so bad the conservative MPs, same people who got absolutely finessed by russian donors, lobbyists and spies started pushing back on pissraeli ties and weapon donations.
The labour party inherited the shittest govt of all time, and somehow decided to do an even worse job in only a year. Suppressing freedom of speech, passing the Orwellian online safety act, and using the dystopian terrorist act to arrest people for disagreeing with them with no due process, and doubling down on austerity, and also blaming migrants. All this shit is fuelling the far right and amplifying their racist voices 100x.

Of course Trump will declare ANTIFA a terrorist organization, any fascist would do that.
