What it comes down to for ANTIFA is this: f*ck with the bull, and you'll eventually get the horns.
Everyone's a revolutionary until the Chrystler Pacifica rolls up and the dudes with SBR's and OCP Crye's hop out.

BORTAC and similar teams are entirely capable of monitoring the communications of everyone in the battlespace and actioning against specific actors or targets of opportunity.
BORTAC can operate 24/7 with total visibility of 'enemy' communications, activities, movements, and present locations. Scooping people in the minivan is only a very small part of the game.
ANTIFA will not overcome this kind of adversary. These are bookworm gutter punks and commie types combating veterans at urban warfare who hold a massive advantage in terms of capability and organization.
ANTIFA is the butt of the joke, but the REAL conflict is much deeper. It's a matter of consent of the governed.
We're seeing Pelosi call American law enforcement officers "stormtroopers", who are "kidnapping" people. That's significant.

More importantly, state leaders and local leaders are opposed to the use of federal law enforcement agents in this capacity.
Oregon Governor Kate Brown and Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler have both either criticized POTUS's use of such agents or called for their removal entirely.

Everyone talks about a "civil war" being imminent, but I've been skeptical.
A civil war in the U.S. is unlikely to be started by ANTIFA, BoogBois, BLM, or any other such group.
But when government systems of control are at odds with each other?
All bets are off.

In our system, states generally have a right to govern states as they see fit, and cities generally have a right to govern cities as they see fit.
If the city of Portland and the state of Oregon tells BORTAC to "go away", where does that lead?

Don't forget that while the American people are more polarized than ever, so is the American political class. And while the average citizen can't mobilize armed personnel, many politicians CAN.
And there's more money involved and more ego too. The stakes are higher.
And there's more money involved and more ego too. The stakes are higher.
And so we find ourselves rapidly approaching a Catch-22.
If BORTAC stays, then we're an authoritarian global empire with no states rights and no choice in how we're governed.
If BORTAC is pressured out, then the executive is a paper tiger and the entire playbook is re-written.
If neither side can agree, well, crack a history book.
