This is fact. This is actually occurring. I've seen it, and I've heard first hand accounts.

What is also significant is that I see it being largely ignored in the media, as they frame peaceful counter-Trump protests as "riots" and "thugs destroying property".

This is the opinion I'm seeing coming out by moderates, who are decrying the protests, and ignoring the fascist violence coming from hate groups.




Really? The only (mainstream) articles I've seen have always put "riot" in quotes - as if we the media don't really think it's a riot, but the police say it is, and even implying that the police saying it is might be some kind of a problem. This about events where there is actual, documented (and even photographed) property being destroyed. (This was in Portland.)
