It’s pretty obvious hat the Antifa and BLM people read history and are hoping for a French Revolution. With, to be sure, some lessons from the Russian Revolution. It won’t work, because America has more than one city that matters, but they’re trying anyway.
Here’s the playbook. (Though, really, there’s only one play, not lots of paths to take.) The country has a leader who is deeply unpopular with the upper classes, though he has strong support out in the boondocks from the peasants. The upper classes are swept by t liberal ideology, with a few grouchy conservatives out of fashion and despised because they are out of fashion (and probably wear last year’s clothes too– check on what kind of wig the Count of Artois wore).
