You should really tell that to Orrin Hatch John McCain and Marco Rubio then
Oh and the August 11th rally was specifically organized by neo Nazis with neo Nazi speakers. It was literally a neo Nazi torch rally. And in his August 12th address he specifically says "the night before" when he defends them.
you're missing my point entirely. Mccain and Ruboto criticized him for something entirely different than the "good people on both sides quote", even though years removed we all attribute that 2nd round quote to the 1st round, which Rubio was criticizing him for (round 1). It's a Mandella effect instance.
yes the Aug 11th rally was organized by neo nazis, but they didnt have a bouncer that checked everyone had a Mein Kampf book to let them in. when nazis organize a rally typically as many or more counter protesters show up. same with the KKK, westboro baptists, etc. they're a flame for moths to flock to.
like i said in my first post, nazi existence excuses any violence that follows to people with no nuance. its silly. did i like seeing that black guy cold clock a nazi? yes. but do i go as far as to suggest his very existence excuses violence against him with a blank check? no, of course not.

and we cant forget this is all a string coming from "do you think trump would put secret nazi symbols in his ads". you offered Charlottesville as potential evidence, and in that context it seems like very weak sauce. i think we should all be able to agree that even tho trump is an idiot and dogwhistles to latent dixiecrat type southern ideals, that there's a LONGCRY different between that and signaling actual nazis. as if they wont vote for him anyways.
