Dare I ask these questions?

How much are the pickup-trumpers and the antiPatriots being paid to cause trouble? 

I’d bet dimes to dollars that a lot of these people are not provoking violence just for fun or to parade their stubborn ignorance. Somebody’s paying.

Why does the Republican Party keep silence while Trump is provoking violence?

Oh, I think I know the answer to that one. The GOP has long been the part of the wealthy, the worried, and the witless. They’re just keeping to script under Trump’s energetic direction.

Why can’t the Black Lives Matter movement rein in the vandals and professional rioters who are disgracing the movement and playing into Trump’s hands.

I’ll guess. Like the police unions, the BLM people, indeed the black community in general, are afraid to openly criticize any of their members. The cops themselves know who are the sadists, thugs, bigots, and psychotics in their ranks. They lose all credibility with their a-cop-can-do-no-wrong attitude. So too, the black community knows, even if they will not identify them, who are the crime prone and the eternal adolescents in their society. Is the black community going to allow unchecked pseudo-demonstrations and out-and-out riots to halt their current struggle?
