“The other day, while discussing all of this with a co-worker, I volunteered the opinion that if Hillary were President, this would have happened and there probably would have likely been even more violence of this nature.”
Yep, the Alt-Left is NO DIFFERENT from the Brownshirts of 1930s Germany. In both cases the goal was to shut down any political opposition to their side. They were an ABSOLUTELY PERFECT army for Hillary, who would have unleashed them with more and more vengeance and terror, while at the same time, using the tools of the federal government and media to tell us where full of shit and imagining it, then disarming us, then convicting us for defending ourselves, and finally breaking us up as an opposition force...where we simply give up trying to be a political opposition force. At least that was their intent - but there was also the possibility of igniting a Civil War in the process, with states such as Texas finally wanting out.
But now it’s different. While the Alt-Left still has much of Deep State, they don’t have the White House. So now they their true goal is instead to drive out Trump and replace him with someone who at least will not call them out (maybe Pence...but if not, then drive out Pence). They obviously still have the media and the Dems, but the key step in disarming our side is not possible without the White House. So it’s basically a holding action by them now, hoping to use the media to get some political power back, while limiting the damage to their side - which will come if the Justice Department ever starts digging into just who they are.

In the 1930s, the only way to hear a political speech was to go to the public square.
