Inquiring about the methodology regarding a claim is not a "Red Herring", it is called "appropriate scrutiny".
Though people are fighting to demand the election be fair and fraud examined, I have yet to see and Trump supporters kill anyone, smash businesses, burn down buildings, and violently attack people. Though given how violent antifa and blm have been I can hardly blame them for being armed. That said, because the other side thinks they won, they aren't paying these leftist agitators to be out there right now. Point is Trump supporters are mostly non violent. But, the other side are. When the results flip, they will be out losing their bananas unless it gets too cold this winter.
As protests over police brutality and racial justice broke out this summer, often resulting in harsh responses from law enforcement, police officers across the country have been accused of favoring a violent extremist group that took to the streets to oppose those demonstrators.The latest example of a cozy relationship between law enforcement and the far-right Proud Boys happened in the nation's capital last week when the Metropolitan Police responded to a stabbing involving members of the Proud Boys and an associate.Provocateur Bevelyn Beatty and the chairman of the Proud Boys, who was with her, told police they were both stabbed by people associated with Black Lives Matter in a street fight early the morning after the presidential election. The Metropolitan Police Department repeated their claim to media outlets, leading to headlines around the country claiming Black Lives Matter had attacked the Proud Boys.There's no evidence Black Lives Matter had anything to do with the incident. Police officials have since walked back their initial statements, saying it's unclear whether anyone involved was affiliated with political groups.The department's willingness to echo the accusations of the Proud Boys is another example of law enforcement's deference to the group, said Michael German, a former FBI special agent who is now a fellow with the Brennan Center for Justice’s Liberty and National Security Program.
Remember, these are the same right wing terrorist groups that are KILLING POLICE OFFICERS.

Actually these aren't but whatever. Lumping every vaguely right-wing group or person together as a "white nationalist" is as idiotic as lumping every Iraqi with an AK-47 together as a "terrorist."
Of course they aren't.Based off nothing but your own conjecture, your ignoring the fact that the proud boys leadership openly came out as white supremacist last week (surprise!)...and of course you ignoring every bit of information presented to you demonstrating these groups as the right wing white nationalists they are.But you apparently refuse to believe this because some of them might have worn a peace symbol on their clothing at some point, and some might also have black/latino/asian/lgbtq/Jewish friends.
Antifa...BLM...other Marxist groups.
I have never, ever, even one time heard a BLM person advocate for the dissolution of privately-owned business in favor of workers' control of the means of production. My impression is they want honky cops to hang up poppin' on bruthahs.
Proud Boys...Boogaloo Bois = right wing extremist terrorist (and white supremacist) GROUPS.
Some do advocate for forced redistribution of wealth and resources, particularly along racial lines.
Iraqi Resistance....Sadda m=Al-Qaeda!The same dumb logic that people always use to tie together various ideological organizations that they disagree worth. Kevin Bacon them to the single worst example.
