Well someone's got to say it so I will.I think there was strong enough feeling over BREXIT that could have spilled into similar scenes here - on both sides. There were demos weren't there, with paint being daubed and stuff? If Farage (or ANO) had decided to whip up the frenzy then I'm sure it would have been worse.
More recently we've seen statues toppled and places having to hide bits of heritage because of the fear of angry mobs. And other civil disobedience between political extremists. I've seen it reported that people have even been fighting about wearing/not wearing a mask FFS...
I don't think we should be that surprised at America. Apart from the guns, I don't think we are necessarily that far behind.
