My 'evil genius' detector is going off

Another protest goes up in flames. The thousand protesters make their hypocritical complaints against letting someone express an opinion different then their own, but are stupid [but reasonable] about it. Then several dozen uniformly dark-clad, dark masked 'anarchists' show up, destroy property, burn stuff, throw flares & fireworks at the police

The impression I get is that the protesters are doing the protests for themselves and not for any real effect. The people in power don't "get" protesters.

There has to be a better way to get through to the folks in power. I suspect it involves infiltrating them, but I'm not sure of the best way to do it.

I fear the infiltrating is being done -to- the progressives, though. Having more than 100 guys [last news reports on KRON says there were 150 of the black-clad agitators] show up to disrupt an up-until-then peaceful [if disorganized] rally just smacks of a fascist in the background, pulling strings to discredit the progressives.
