"Antifa" has been a favorite target/scapegoat of the alt-right for awhile. That it's not actually an organized group just makes that easier, because boogeymen are more effective when they're amorphous. In the short-term, I question the extent to which this will make any real difference. But it does set a longer-term precedent of using "terrorist organization" to get rid of a group that is politically opposed.
