So to lay out this unusual rally that took place in Richmond, Virginia yesterday....I must start with the obvious goal....it was a pro-gun rally.
Among the principal players?
1. Fred Hampton Gun Club, which is basically a gun-rights club, named after Fred Hampton, of Chicago....who died in 1969. Connected to the Black Panthers....he was a highly recognized member of the group. If you were trying to figure the political slant....it's Chicago-style 'left'.
2. The Boogaloos. You'd mostly classify them as younger guys (mostly white) who are into revolution. So to suggest they are right-wing? Well...before you reach that agenda topic....it's correct to say they want the downfall of the US government (doesn't matter if it's liberal or conservative).
3. The Black Panthers. Mostly a black revolutionary group, with patterns of Marxism in the middle of their program.
4. The Proud Boys. This is a mixed group, who'd generally say they are mostly against Antifa type agendas.
So right off the bat....you will probably ask....are these all legit 'club' members from the four? Well....you can't make that case that the couple hundred that showed up....were all of who they claim to be.
Yes, the Proud Boys might be actors only. Yes, the Boogaloos might be actors only. Yes, the Black Panthers might be actors only. Yes, the Fred Hampton Gun Club might be actors only.
So this protest at the Richmond capital? Legit, but pieces and parts of it might be fake? As silly as it sounds, you can't be sure of anything. Half of them might have been legit, and the other half just hired actors brought in.
If they were all legit? Well...it'd scare the crap out of the FBI and Virginia Police if all four groups were legit, and actually working in coordination with each other.
That all four groups might be pursuing some agenda over the next four years? Maybe....but they might be totally fake and simply staging this for some fake organization at the top, who is getting paid by some outside influence.
In simple terms, you can't be sure of anything.

I don't know what your source of information is but the primary group that has been organizing these rallies for years is the Virginia Citizens Defense League. There are the kick off for our Lobby days with the Virginia General Assembly.
Now some of these other groups might of latched on to it.
The primary group might be legit, but all of these other characters showing up? They have flags, symbiology, t-shirts to say 'xyz'. Are they really from xyz? Unknown.
A year ago, no one would suggest fake actors in demonstrations or protests. Today...nothing can be sure.
