Many of the leftists are being paid. Most of them likely make more protesting than their skill set would normally command.
I wish we had irrefutable proof, and not just words from conservative-leaning media. A lot of useful idiots are being sucked in by the Anarchists, just as they were with Occupy Wall Street and Black Lives Matter. We've got to give those who still have the ability for rational thought evidence that they're being played as Pawns in the Game.
