We are in civil war. Where have you been?

In addition to my prior post, supposedly, from what I heard on a news report, the boogaloos are known for the Hawaiian shirts they wear,

Here’s an article about them, which elaborates a little on what @Dutchess_III provided above: https://www.defenseone.com/threats/2020/06/who-are-they-unmarked-security-forces-dc-spark-fear/165892/
