Not quite OC. There has always been the element in the liberal constituency that protests sometimes violently. I don't agree with or ignore those people but they are usually protesting some real or perceived social injustice. The difference is that the groups that have chosen to rally around Trump are simply looking to peddle hate. The KKK and its ilk had been essentially silenced since the 80s feel that they now have one of their own in the White House. Trump denounced them the other day, but gleefully goaded them on during the election process. He's created this monster and now he's going to have to deal with it.
