 Probably worth mentioning how several organized groups (far-left and far-right) have been also engaged in violent activities.
 Far-Left:
 <ul>
  <li>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Fascist_Action (British)</li>
  <li>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifaschistische_Aktion (German)</li>
  <li>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifascistisk_Aktion (Swedish)</li>
  <li>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifa_(United_States) (American)</li>
 </ul>
 Far-Right:
 <ul>
  <li>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alt-right (~American)</li>
  <li>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britain_First (British)</li>
  <li>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Defence_League (British)</li>
 </ul>
 Source of violence/rioting/protesting worth separating:
 <ul>
  <li>Politics (people with different ideas about how the Country should be run)</li>
  <li>Nationalism (an extreme form of patriotism marked by the feeling of superiority over other countries)</li>
  <li>Provocateurs (people who purposely say things to cause trouble)</li>
  <li>State actors (other Countries getting involved in US politics, see: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/18/us/politics/russian-operatives-facebook-twitter.html)</li>
 </ul>
 Possibly end the article on the note that there is a global growing political divide. This is something that was also seen post-World War I and II.
