Many on the right are blowing it off as a protest much like any previous BLMs protests and many even on the left don't even argue the point. However I thinks it's now becoming more apparent that Trump and company rolled the snowball to the edge of the hill and gave it the push with hopes that by the time it got to the bottom it would be tremendous and uncontrollable. I really think they had operatives in place to incite a real takeover of our government hoping not only capital police but an eventual military response would be to flip and join in a hostile takeover military style cue.
