This is normal.

Any major political upheaval brings the wingnuts in droves. During my youth I did some time as the person responsible for the order and security at a national student anti-austerity strike. Basically - the guy who orders the gorillas drafted from the waterpolo and volleyball team (extra experience in martial arts desirable, but not essential) what to do with disruptive individuals and what containment strategy to apply to them (inclusive of government provocateurs on special branch payroll - they make for the best step counting experience).

Containing, isolating and removing these used to be the normal strategy. What Trump, Farage, etc have done is to specifically try to harness these.

Based on personal experience - that is a recipe for disaster. During a protest (or any political event) there are some people which you need to quietly and gently nudge off the premises and people who need to be taken to the back stairs to count 3 flights of steps with their backside. If you do not, you get the likes of Gilmore junior and company subverting your protest - as it happened during the last student protests in London (that one is a "golden standard" on how not to run a protest).

In any case, we will see tomorrow as it does not matter will Trump win or lose. The collection of assembled nuts is past the critical mass and it will go nuclear straight after that.
