The entire right (which is bigger than anyone gives it credit for) and many centrists identify this sort of behavior with "the left" aka Democrats, in part thanks to the likes of some of the recent riots etc. Its the reality. It may not be "democrats" per se, but many, MANY people will assume that it is, right or wrong. And that hurts us in the long run. We all know how fascist the right can be, but "see? the left is the violent one" tropes abound.
