Democrats and USA riots

Dear SWeeps who are saying that the Democrats are behind violence and vandalism in current riots in the USA -- please use your heads!
Democrats are not in favour of Trump's agenda.
Every act of violence or vandalism plays into Trump's agenda.
Therefore the violent rioters and vandals are not Democrats.
They may be unhappy people without any political consciousness. They may be impatient anarchists who just want everything to blow up. They may be Republican-directed provocateurs. Democrats, they're not.

That is a rather childish explanation and rationale.

Democrats are publicly supporting continuing protests and expanding them. CA and other state officials are denouncing ICE operations that are legitimate. While I assume potential for other actors to be involved, Democrats are encouraging them and there are absolutely Dems attending these protests. This is the BLM riots all over again and the rest of us have had enough of the liberal b.s. of doing this then claiming innocence. That is a ridiculous lie and we're not buying it.

Look at the bad theatrics it appears likely Sen. Alex Padilla intentionally pulled yesterday to try and concoct a scenario to whine in the press about. I hope the charge against him sticks and others are appropriately charged for interfering in these ICE operations.

@BrandNewMan Democrats are supporting protests. Other people are rioting and vandalizing. It suits Trump and his supporters to claim that the protests and the riots are the same thing, but they simply aren't.
