We see this in real life. The Freedom convoy in Canada was made up almost entirely of genuinely good to fairly decent people. Within some of those small groups, some charismatic leaders may have, over time, come to embrace methods or partnerships that range a spectrum from merely non-productive to antagonistic and in a very, very small number of individual cases... Outright violent. Then those groups which maintained coherence to their maximum growth potential began to encounter each other and coalesce into many-headed hydra.

At it's peak, the overwhelmingly vast majority of folks in that movement remained entirely or mostly on the good side of both the morality spectrum and the outside corruption spectrum. But a very small number of a very few individual groups were advocating for the overthrow of the political system as whole without regard for unintended consequences and a subset of them expressed a commitment to that end even if it required violence.

Now, the crisis was "resolved," but bitterness lingers because some folks from the overwhelmingly good group fail to acknowledge, in some cases that the problematic minority was never an "actual threat" or in other cases that it existed at all. Still others might insist that the problematic minority were a false flag operation. Regardless of where these folks sit on those issues, whether or not they have these views tends to be influenced by whether or not they have living memories of Canada's FLQ crisis in 1970. During this crisis, one political leader was kidnapped and another killed. The Prime Minister who had to deal with the Freedom Convoy is the son of the Prime Minister who dealt with the FLQ Crisis, and while her was not alive at the time of the crisis, he was born two years later, and the impact of FLQ would have been a part of his environment during early formative years.

And on my side of the spectrum, there are many people who express their concerns about the convoy in far more insensitive and provocative language, whether out of exhaustion, ignorance or ideology, which perpetuates the aftershock.
