people on $FB aren't able to add swatiskas + "wp"+ "#BLM"+ "#Biden2020” and come out with #Cult45. Let me help them figure it out:

Saturday's #RVAprotests action has raised lots of questions about who was in charge. No easy answers, show why movement politics is so hard - for observers AND participants

Saturday's action did not seem to be organized by folks that have been involved in RVA #BLM protests. Mostly promoted by a flyer here: (Yup - that's GOP's Todd Gilbert circulating it; apparently he is #Antifa now.)

Police chief said flyer had "tone of intimidation and fear" - meant to incite. Definitely provocative; little concern over where to draw the line of acceptable behavior. "Fuck shit up" can mean lots of things: Noise? Prop damage? Threats? Assault?

Big thread: Today a heavily armed coalition of activists including right-wingers, "boogaloo bois," Proud Boys, a self-proclaimed "New Black Panther" and militia groups converged for a rally against laws mandating people wear masks for #COVID19 spread prevention. 
A coalition of leftists including #BlackLivesMatter and #Antifa showed up to counter-demonstrate. Police formed a line between the two sides.
I'll dive into this more with video in this thread (which takes longer, be patient!), but when police split right-wingers from leftists, the "#BoogalooBoys" largely stood in the middle or on the leftist side.
Some right wingers condemned them as "siding with the left."
