That's why I called them collectively:

> well, I'm not sure "left" is the right word, but more generically not-the-Right Americans with guns who I would categorise as an "extremist".

Despite who and what they targetted.

For a mere protest-based example of oppositon: an ex of mine is an actual literal communist, so way to the left of the Dems in a lot of regards, and yet was still so anti-Dem as to promote Trump the first time around.

The "anti" part seems more relevant than the "pro", when the question is violence.

But perhaps that's just me.
