Not sure exactly where you're coming from here. No. Antifa does not pretend to be proud boys. Neither have the anarchists. No, there were no "imposters" among the insurrectionists of 6 January, they were all bona fide MAGAts. I reread what I have written. The only analogies that I drew were that it was the anarchist/antifa crowd that made the BLM protests into riots. At no time did I suggest, infer, or imply that the anarchists infiltrated the MAGAts that stormed the Capitol. The only comparison there was between the MAGAts that breached the Capitol and the other people who attended the "rally" who decided that insurrection was not their cup of tea and declined to breach the Capitol.

Ah. My misread, conflating what you wrote with the Republican "It was ANTIFA!" stuff. My bad. Apologies.

Agree with you. There were lookie-loos there, and there were bad actors, and I'm sure the bulk of the lookie-loos didn't even march to the Capitol, and those who did, did a fade when things got violent.
