That is not "obviously completely wrong" for a number of reasons. One example of how there are novel aspects to this situation is a reversal of the politics of traditional establishment versus protestors. In the recent past, protestors were usually associated with liberal progressives, and the establishment upheld conservative (usually still within the realm of "liberal", though) principles. Now we see the liberal-progressive establishment enforcing and narrating policies that concern conservatives (and many liberals - just my opinion). Additionally, the rhetoric used by the establishment is especially concerning, because the vitriol is coming from the highest levels without much effort to obfuscate.
