BERKELEY, California —Antigovernment extremists stood shoulder-to-shoulder with "alt-right" extremistsand anti-feminists. Nearby, aragtag mix of Trump supporters were draped in American flags and decked in helmets stickered with images of Pepe the Frog,the popular cartoon frog meme employed by the white nationalist “alt-right.”
They carried clubs and medical kits, radios and reinforcement in the event of violent skirmishes that have shaken the University of California, Berkeley campus. But by Thursday’s end, the next chapter in whatRichard Spencerhas called “The Battle of Berkeley” was a bust.
