28. Exactly. Much of this is being generated by the media and GOP

Just like the 'cities ablaze' reporting from 2022 justified the antifa bashing. It is why the GOP was initially so confident they could blame the 1/6 insurrection on antifa.
The GOP need an excuse to bash liberals before every election and this year it is the pro-Palestinian protestors, some of whom are likely planted by the GOP aligned groups to cause violence.
The authoritarians pushing Trump intend to declare Martial Law. They have said so repeatedly. This time they will use these protestors as their excuse.
