I'm a bit flummoxed to see people going "'we want everything' what does that even mean this must be a right-wing fake" about the graffiti at Pelosi's house. It's a reference to a slogan that's very well known in the far left.
The slogan came out of, and the novel is about, a period of massive social upheavel in Italy called the Hot Autumn. That period's well known in far left circles as are the political currents connected to it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Autumn 
The far left tends to be very internationalist (though kind of skewed to Europe) and historically away (though kind of skewed to high points of intense conflict). So that liberals think this graffiti is a fake just sounds like they don't know anything about the far left.
Incidentally the slogan features in this great now-old tune by the Swedish anarchist band The International Noise Conspiracy.
A version of the slogan also features in this fantastic collectively written novel by Italian radicals and set during peasant uprisings during the Reformation - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_(novel) 
The authors of that novel wrote this text in the lead up to the Genoa G8 summit protests in 2001 (the ones where the police murdered Carlo Giuliani). It's a powerful text and an example of the internationalism and historical memory I mentioned. https://www.wumingfoundation.com/english/giap/Giap_multitudes.html
Aside from the 'gotta be a fake because that slogan's so weird' response speaking to liberals not getting the far left - or, more charitably, a siloing of political vocabularies and symbologies - I think that response likely also speaks to a worrying paranoia that people who go
further politically must be outsiders and illegitimate. That outside agitator trope is super old and dangerous. It came up a lot in the riots against the police murdering George Floyd. That trope is probably used cynically sometimes but I suspect it also emerges organically in
situations when people encounter a view that feels beyond their set of political coordinates. I think it also gives some expression to a hostility I don't fully understand, that liberals tend to exhibit regarding critics from their left. I suspect we'll see that hostility a whole
lot over the next few years given who will be in official power and how bad life will be for tons of people. I think it's worth noting that liberals in power have a history of destroying lives and attacking the left in a way that's often attributed only to the right, so that
liberal outrage and 'whoever did this is absolutely not politically legitimate!' thing should be treated as fairly serious. I'd strongly recommend Andrew Feffer's great book on liberal-led red scares pre-McCarthy. https://www.fordhampress.com/9780823281169/bad-faith/
I'll also point out that part of the red scare Feffer's book examines involved attacks on teachers and their unions, which is relevant given that Democrat mayors and governors are attacking teachers and their unions now.
I wanted to mention this because I think the paranoia and politics exhibited in response to the graffiti (which honestly is a mild thing in historical perspective, given how awful conditions are) is more important than liberals not having heard of Nanni Balestrini, sad as that is
(I'll add that the best version of that slogan IMHO, which features in the novel I mentioned set during the Reformation, is "everything for everyone.")
