Far-right and white supremacist involvement
One of the protesters in Columbus, Ohio holds up a poster that reads: "End White Supremacy Now"
On May 29, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz noted then-unconfirmed reports of white supremacists as well as drug cartels taking advantage of the protests.[233] Although reports that all or most of the individuals arrested were not from Minnesota turned out to be false, the presence of white supremacist groups aiming to exploit the protests to incite violence was confirmed the following day by Department of Public Safety Commissioner John Harrington.[234]
On May 30, Minnesota officials including Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, Governor Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, and St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter stated they believed that white nationalists were using the protests as cover for inciting violence,[235] and that Minnesota officials were monitoring the ongoing far-right online effort to incite violence.[236] On the other hand, Howard Graves, an analyst at the SPLC stated on May 31 that he did not see clear evidence of "white supremacists or militiamen" heading out to "burn and loot."[237] The University of St. Thomas' Lisa Waldner, an analyst of the American white supremacist and anarchist movements, has noted that the goal of many of the individuals involved in the destruction of Minneapolis was to create chaos so as to pursue their own agendas.[238] White nationalist Facebook groups reportedly began urging members to "get their loot on."[235] In at least 20 cities across the country as of May 31, members of hate groups and far-right organizations filmed themselves at the demonstrations.[237]
Vice and New York University's Reiss Center[236] reported that far-right accelerationists, who aim to exacerbate tensions and speed up the supposed coming of a "civil war," have urged followers online to use the protests as an occasion to carry out violence; an eco-fascist Telegram channel with almost 2500 subscribers posted on the 28th that "a riot would be the perfect place to commit a murder."[239] Analysis by Vice and the New York Times[237] also noted the proliferation of chatter on 4chan hailing the violence as the beginning of a "race war." Such tactics match a long running history of accelerationists exploiting moments of political and/or civil unrest[239] to, in the words of historian Stuart Wexler, "produce racial polarization and eventual retaliation" which would then swell the ranks of whites supporting white supremacist violence, ultimately leading to a race war that they hope will "purify" America through ethnic cleansing.[240] Analogous tactics were used by their ideological forebears in the 1960s,[240] and accelerationist ideas are proliferated on web forums and have inspired various white supremacist acts of violence, being featured also in the manifesto of the perpetrator of the Christchurch massacre.[236][241]
The presence of Boogaloo Bois, an armed anti-government far-right extremist movement that seeks a Second American Civil War, noticeable for their Hawaiian shirts, have also been reported at the protests.[239] Administrators of the Facebook page Big Igloo Bois, a splinter of the Boogaloo movement, called for members to attend the protests with one administrator stating, "come in peace, prepare for there to be violence."[242] While some of the Boogaloo Bois have espoused white supremacist views, other groups, such as the Big Igloo Bois, have aimed to make common cause with the Black Lives Matter movement due to their shared mistrust of the police.[243][236]
According to a Twitter spokesperson, an account pretending to belong to a national “antifa” organization and pushing violent rhetoric related to ongoing protests has been linked to the white nationalist group Identity Evropa, which also calls itself the American Identity Movement.[244]
On 3 June, Three men who identified with the Boogaloo movement were arrested in Las Vegas for reportedly plotting to commit violent acts to incite a riot, and were arrested on terrorism charges. The three men also had military experience, and were plotting to attack economic targets prior to the protests in May.[245]

Because you have nothing except the use of spin to attack.
A very poor response.

Sometimes a well thought out response is futile, sometimes pointing to the obvious is sufficient.

HOH turned it into a popularity contest by threatening to send in the Army to pump his own ego and make himself look like a strong dictator. He should have stayed out of it, it's essentially a State issue unless the States lose control of the situation.

He is an idiot, yes.
Doesn't change the fact this started in a deeply democrat state.
Turning this political to the point it's just one side misses the point of systemic racism.
Oh 10 guys perhaps.Couldn't get past the first story and check out the remainder of the response ?
According to them they are gushing socialists. US is built on political lies.

Infiltrated key positions.
Media on side.
Democrats on side.
Billionaires on side.
Violent network that trained in ME.
Use cells.
Highly financed.

Would the anti fascist movement be anywhere near mainstream as white supremacists?
As in "there are many fine people there".
Genuine question Mo, I don't know.

That was part of my point. DNC is so far preventing the AOCs and Bernie's taking the Dems too far left.
Pretty succinct from a couple of 'whities' from 50yrs ago;
'Four dead in Ohio'
Ten years before Gill Scott Heron(not white) nailed it with 'B Movie'
'Human Rights, Gay's Rights, Civil Rights, Womens Rights'
'It's all wrong... Call in the Cavalry to disrupt this perception of Freedom gone wild'
If Only Howard Zinn had lived to see this moment; To see mad dog Mattis in furious agreement with Noam Chomsky... even if only on something as inconsequential as the incumbent President.

US antifa is actually disliked by their European brethren. US is commies in cosplay. The enemy is everyone who disagrees with them. Follow the script or get eaten alive.
White supremacists are a dying breed. They are entrenched in certain US towns.
The left/right divide creates this view that it's a growing problem. I'd say hatred is.
Russia is actually one of the growth countries where white supremacists are gaining traction.
These days if you disagree with something you are a labeled one. So I suppose it depends on your leanings on how entrenched you find it.
It's widely used as a tactic to silence opposition.
