Nitpick:  The Boogaloo Boys believe revolution is the only way to renew an establishment out of hand.  In this they are following the path of Stalin and Mao, which most consider discredited.  The Republicans are the establishment out of hand.  I'm not sure both deserve the same label, or if so it is a weird label.  I also think Classic can't tell the Black Lives matter from the Boogaloo Boys, or pretends not to be able to tell.  He has been arguing for racist violence, while both the protesters and the Boogaloo Boys are against it in very different ways.

Add to that, the RW media are incenting their viewers/listeners/readers to defend their homes and families from Antifa.  There is a large and coordinated effort to trigger a race war, but why is the question.  Who gains from this?

The Boogaloo Boys are indeed for racist violence, since that's what the boogaloo is (a civil war), and which a few at least of whom think killing police is one way to achieve, apparently. And Trump stokes racist violence too. But like any vast group, there are different shades within the right-wing of the USA.
