Oh, yes.

Oh, yes. Recently demonstrated.

The ability, yes. Some of them even do it. For example, Berkeley apparently was the origin place of a free speech movement. Some of the Berkeley people were particularly upset at the recent incident, denouncing the flame throwers quite clearly and vehemently. Not that everyone noticed. The flame throwers got more attention.

Do you have any evidence that the Black Crew is federally funded? At least, this seems to be what you are suggesting. If so, I would expect Trump to issue an executive order telling them to stop.
I don't see Americans viewing the Democrats that way. I see certain red leaning extreme partisans obsessed with vile stereotypes viewing Democrats that way. I've been trying to get extreme partisans to drop their vile stereotypes, to stop casually confusing their vile stereotypes with Truth, with little to no effect. Extreme partisans are extreme partisans, and will wallow in their own hate and lies. Not much I can do about such irrational hatred.
And, yes, that sort of thing can lead to violence.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
