Due to some of their questionable tactics, do you think ANTIFA could eventually be classified as a hate/terror group?

If you judge a man by his actions, probably.

The FBI has been classifying them as a domestic terrorist group since 2015. To respond to Cicero, it is the Intelligence services that classify terror groups, not politicians. Your fears are unfounded (it should be noted that despite many left-wing politicians attempts to brand the Proud Boys as a hate/terror group, the FBI has come out and said they do not classify them as such), and it is extremely useful to be able to classify groups based on their actions. If there was a branch of ISIS in America, you'd want to be able to point the finger and say "terrorists!".

I wasn't aware they were already classified as such by the government since 2015, I'll research into that some more. Who said anything about fears though? More like genuine concern, and the Proud Boys should probably fall under the same category by the way. I know some people who live near Portland Oregon, and felt terrorized over how some of the members in ANTIFA had behaved while protesting. Are they automatically wrong for feeling that way, I'd say not...

Aren't they already classified as a terrorist organization?

Not sure...

Hopefully not. What kind of precedence would that set? Would domestic terrorist groups come and go with different Presidents? Would Americans be sent to Gitmo? What if Ocassio Cortez is elected President and she declares the NRA as a terrorist organization for promoting the sale of scary child killing machine guns?

How about this, when antifa punches you because they think you’re a Nazi, punch them back until the threat is nutralized. Handle it the American way, don’t run to daddy (government), and have them make more rules and limitations on our liberty. Just beat the living shit out of antifa, problem solved.

NRA members don't go around assaulting people for differing views either, at the very least not like ANTIFA is noted to do. If any ANTIFA members attempted to get physical with me, I would deal with the problem as you suggested minus getting the government involved.
