Two things to remember;
1) "anti Trump protesters" are one thing, but in Berkeley you are talking about the heart of the militant left wing. Those cats are actual and literal anarchists. They trash at the drop of a dime and they give none of our precious fucks.
2) An increasingly important theme is the rising of a very armed and very uneducated armchair wanna be Seal Team 6 who are 100% definitely waiting for someone to give them an excuse for wholesale murder of 'progressives', whom every single website they read is telling them are responsible for everything from the wheels sailing off the Trump train to ISIS setting up training camps in Minnesota.
These fuckups scour the web 24/7 waiting for someone to dog whistle them into a capital murder beef.
Remember when Tim McVey blew up the IRS building?
Think dumber and angrier versions of him.
Be warned that this is from a left wing blogger but its one of hundreds of articles just like it, many from staunch conservatives, and even after you set aside the partisan bias, the foundation for wide spread right wing terrorism is easy to see:
