That just leaves the question .. why is the Dem base fine with that agenda?
The Occupy movement attacked Democrat Seattle in the 1990s. It is not about political party affiliation. It is about anarchy and destroying civil society. They want to destroy the social contract and replace it with ad hoc anarchy. They will never stop, only be opposed or not be opposed.

I'm less worried about them, and more worried about a governing system that does nothing to stop them.

This movement has many constructive aspects. I found CHOP's Covid Reopening Plan to be quite inventive.

Adam Haner, the driver who was dragged from his pick-up truck and beaten by rioters in Portland last week, is questioning the motives of protestors, saying “they’re exhibiting the same behavior that they’re trying to stop.”

No they're exhibiting the behavior they're wanting to continue. Otherwise they’d just be human.

Liberal/progressives/democrats don't care and anyone who does is obviously a racist. So stop whistling into the wind.
