The dressed up insurrectionist who some are trying to say is antifa (for antifascist as our nation was in WWII when we fought Axis fascists and monarchists) is Arizonan Jake Angelini, also known as Q Shaman, who is a prominent Qanon figure and has appeared in that get-up at multiple Trump rallies.
You know, in the 1930s the reactionary Nazis got their inroad to power by convincing the German conservatives to permit them into the conservative tent. Of course, once they got enough power they turned on the conservatives, too. The current batch of U.S. reactionaries has been using the U.S. conservatives in the exact same way, and the conservatives fell for it, hook, line, and sinker for years. Lindsey Graham acknowledged his start of awakening the other day when we got far too close to an insurgent mob destroying one of the pillars of democracy, the legislature (which has already surrendered far too much of its power to the current imperial president who created many EOs that he did NOT have the Constitutional power to create since they usurped the powers of the legislature and of the states). Thankfully, unlike Germany back then, the legislature did not give up to dictatorship, though a few reactionaries in Congress still tried to fold democracy, and one (Hawley) even saluted the insurgent mob.
As to Trump using the mob for his own profit (for which he should be punished to the full extent of the law): You can’t spell “sedition” without i d i o t s.
