Some say the Left wants to goad us into fighting back, as was true of the 1940s and 1950s Communists in the US. The “overreaction” was part of the plans, so they infiltrated black and union groups and colleges to get people fighting each other.
Excellent movies I Was A Commuinist For the FBI (1951) and the Red Menace (1949) spend some time detailing the real life plans-—such as placards “No Fascists Allowed” in rallies that turned into anti police riots. Secret plan was to use the word “democracy” to fool the public.
Precisely up to date except for the fashions and the cars.
I know our side didn’t start this but using lasers to temporarily or permanently blind someone, and the recent two riots with one and then two handguns with extra clips from rioters who confronted the ICE agents means the two sides, no longer just the Left, may have at it soon.
Why should any sane Patriot care about “what the left wants”?
