They are right wing. This is a militia group, all militias are 2nd Amendment fanatics, (because the 2nd Amendment says 'militia' in it) and that puts them on the right.
Some are confusing 'anti-government' with the left, that's antifa and they are more anarchists, where as the 'anti-governmentalism' of boogaloo is from the
'smallest government possible" "bare minimum government" orientation, such as that of the T party, and they wear military gear, carry assault weapons, anti-deepstate types, support Trump, and that puts them on the right, the far far right.
Their headquarters flies the confederate flag. they go around carrying assault weapons.
These are extreme right wingers "Wolverine Watchmen" associated with the boogaloo movement ( Wolverine is the state mascot ) NOT 'antifa'. They bear NO resemblance to Antifa.

According to details from a shocking new affidavit, the FBI uncovered a group planning “violent action against multiple state governments,” including a detailed plot to capture or kill Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. Individuals involved in the plot organized across Facebook groups, in-person events and at least two encrypted chat apps that the FBI did not name.
Whitmer, a Democrat, became a major target of pervasive anti-lockdown sentiment on the political right earlier this year when states imposed restrictions to slow the spread of the coronavirus. According to the affidavit, at a June in-person meeting, members of the group “talked about murdering ‘tyrants’ or ‘taking’ a sitting governor.” Thirteen people have been charged in relation to the kidnapping plot.
The group grew its numbers after contacting a Michigan-based militia known as the Wolverine Watchmen that shared overlapping interests. While it was not named at the time, Facebook removed the Wolverine Watchmen group from its platform in June when it purged a number of groups connected to the anti-government boogaloo movement. Wolverine Watchmen recruited on Facebook for seven months, from November of last year until June.
One of their meeting places. Antifa do not fly the confederate flag, these are far far right winger white supremacist anti-jew types.
