You statement is senseless...but then it appears you would like to deflect the responsibility that the LEFT is accountable for with their hiring from Craigslist and paying from the origination source of Hillary Clinton's new "org" in which she announced she had funds for any GROUPS that want to protest and create mayhem in public to protest Trump. You can slide all that "juice" all over and try your best to put some spin on it...but you're already busted.
I don't know, but it seems to make sense to me, and I'm not any deep thinker.
But it doesn't seem to require much deep thinking to see, that if one understands what a certain group finds reprehensible then one might seek to convince that group that one's enemies will and do commit those reprehensible acts. Isn't that the whole point of propaganda? If one's enemy doesn't in fact commit those reprehensible acts, then one might be tempted to pose as one's enemy and be seen committing the reprehensible acts. For example, I've heard that Hitler had some German soldiers dress up as Polish soldiers and attack German posts, then Hitler used that attack as justification for invading Poland.

What is scary is there is a formula the left uses to advance it's horrible agenda. First propaganda and indoctrination, that's been going on for decades, then coercion, a hard or even cursory look at our politicians can tell you that has been going on for decades as well, and finally violence, gee guess where we are right now, then it's s******n and treason"
I agree that people who willingly commit reprehensible acts, will believe their enemies are equally willing to commit reprehensible acts and will accuse their enemies of reprehensible acts. However, that does not mean that someone who accuses someone else of something reprehensible, will therefore be willing to commit that reprehensible thing.
I think honesty is usually the best policy. Deceit requires too good of a memory (unless one is trying to deceive those with an even poorer memory). But I did learn some of the ways of deceit at my Daddy's knee. My Daddy was a very deceitful man. How he got that way, I don't know, maybe he learned at his Pop's knee. An example: I thought I was half Native American until I was sixteen, because Daddy told me many times, "I'm [Daddy] full blooded Indian. I was born on a horse blanket, under a chestnut tree."
So you can see, I might have some understanding of deceit and might have learned to be a suspicious person. Given that and my belief that most Americans (most people) find violence reprehensible (despite the popularity of football), I might be predisposed to think that an enemy of America might pretend to be an American patriot and then advocate violence. Thereby leading people to believe that Americans are a violent unreasonable people.
