Download The people behind US political violence (Part 2 of 2)
Since the election of Donald Trump, there’s been a disturbing wave of street violence across America.
The epicentre is Portland, Oregon, a place better known for its chilled out hipster lifestyle – but which has been the scene of dozens of far-right marches and rallies. Those events often result in arrests and violence.
BBC Trending went there to meet two activists who have been on opposite sides of the fighting.
Anti-fascist activist Luis Enrique Marquez and Rob Cantrall, member of the far-right Proud Boys group, have agreed to meet for a discussion. But will they have any common ground to bridge the political divide?
