Dope's wellspring for his 'antifa' report is a tweet by a rightwing extremist, a 'fellow" at "Discovery Institute."

What's Discovery Institute?

"The Discovery Institute is a politically conservative think tank that advocates the pseudoscientific concept of intelligent design. It was founded in 1991 in Seattle as a non-profit offshoot of the Hudson Institute."

Its "Teach the Controversy" campaign aims to permit the teaching of anti-evolution, intelligent-design beliefs in United States public high school science courses in place of accepted scientific theories, positing that a scientific controversy exists over these subjects when in fact there is none.

The Wedge Strategy is a political and social action plan authored by the institute. The strategy was put forth in a Discovery Institute manifesto known as the "Wedge Document". Its goal is to change American culture by shaping public policy to reflect politically conservative fundamentalist evangelical Protestant values."

Praise the lard.
