Yep. Don't forget the police agents provocateurs.

Sometimes the White leftists and White rightists will dress up as each other, and the undercover cops will portray themselves as either, usually as the leftists, though.

And yes, there's Twitter showing (mostly Black) locals, cops, leftists, and rightists all behaving badly in glorious color.

Of the four, the cops are the ones with a public service mission. The other three are a mix of thoughtful true believers who might be reasoned with, leftists who think one more smashed Starbucks window will bring on the revolution, rightists itching to shoot brown people, folks who want to beat up people, and folks who want free stuff. (The police tend towards the rightists and beating up people veins).

It's a true cornucopia of the worst that America can offer.

A few random thoughts: 
1. Antifa isn't a blanket term for anyone to the left of Mitt Romney (or the more charitable Republicans/rightists might make Joe Biden the demarcating line). It's a loose coalition of anti-capitalist, anti-racist, probably anarchist groups that show up at world leadership gatherings to protest. Think the Battle of Seattle. Some are more 
2. Not everyone who thinks just letting everyone amble into this country is an irrevocable racist equal to the KKK. 
3. If crime's down 50-60% since the 1970s, why do we have so many more police? Why do people feel they're under more siege than the era of Bronx is burning and Summer of Sam?

Yet, we sort of survived after 1968. Whether Reaganism was the best of a lot of bad choices or shoved down our throats like John Holmes in one of his movies, I don't know.

Republicans still have most of the levers of government, folks. They've got the Presidency, the Senate, the Supreme Court, and most state houses/governor's mansions. They can't just blame the Democrats for this one. But they'll try. [/quote]
