So these protestors acting unhinged, throwing **** at people, busting public property like ANTIFA tend to do in Portland and other areas, etc....it doesn't paint a picture that they're actually fighting fascism. Rather, it comes off like a violent projection of some kind when I don't see the guys in MAGA hats committing those same kinds of actions at that event on video.

I think it's silly to call most Trump supporters fascists but they're still somewhere on the spectrum of people who end up supporting and enabling fascists. Most people who voted for Hitler probably weren't imagining Auschwitz when they cast their ballot.
