You might be right. I’m sure someone is puppeteering all this.
You'd think that at some point the sane Democrats will rise up against the insane ones, and stop this madness. but... 60 days of riots in a row, and nope, nothing, more riots tomorrow just like clockwork.

Show us where this violence is "all over America." I'd wager a bet you have never seen a single act of BLM violence in your neighborhood. And 99.9% of Americans can say the same. This is not like COVID, which affects every American's life every single day. Unless you live in the small area of Portland where the unrest is happening you are not in any danger.
We have had protests here, too. But, the Republican leaders here don't let it get out of hand, they arrest and charge those who commit violence, unlike Dem leaders. The Dems rabid pets don't really like that, so they go to blue areas where they know they will have "space to destroy".
If one doesn't want to be identified and punished as a terrorist. (s)he needs only separate him/herself from the active, violent minority.
Otherwise -- a bloodbath when an avowed enemy provides the blood is clearly the responsibility of the instigator(s).
Most people understand that there are far more peaceful protesters than there are violent rioters, and can make the mental distinction. In my experience, the people who claim all protesters are violent rioters are people who have no friends outside of the right wing, have never been to a protest, and who get all their information about current events through right wing sources online.
Actually go to a few protest and talk to people in person. You might be surprised.
Quite frankly, I say let the mob take the city over and burn it down. Maybe then residents will wake up and elect politicians who are actually serious about defending our constitutional rights.
If the local government needs federal help, they will ask for it. All the DHS has done is escalate the situation. This will lead to Congress defunding the DHS.
Then leave the Federal buildings alone.
Keep the arson, looting and violence to Portland's public and private establishments.

They burned 2 blocks of buildings right next to my wife's office. That is until biker gangs started hammering them and they quickly jumped in their cars/buses and left back for LA.

Just don't go after dark cause the clientel changes.
Right. Have you seen the Bundy milita groups? You know the types that take over Federal Properties armed? They destroyed that facility! Where'e the outrage? Oh I guess it's selective.
Where was the support to send in federal troops immediately and forcibly remove them. Instead they waited 40 days to do anything and even after that the right wing was clamoring for pardons for the thugs.
The hypocrisy of the far right is astonishingly glaring.
