Apparently you need someone to explain commons sense stuff to you. Nazis, et al represent a minuscule part of America - they only came out and made themselves known because of the unopposed excesses of the Antifa/BLM groups under the assumption = "hell, if those guys can go out and create mayhem and wreck shite, and beat up people, why can't we? = 'murika' and all" They did not come out to Charolettesville to advance an ideology, they came out to make a scene. Antifa came out not to promote or defend an ideology, but to create violence. Both sides succeeded.

I would have rather seen Trump say "there are batshit crazy evil people on both sides" rather than "there are good people on both sides" - the POTUS statement is accurate, but the former statement is more accurate and more to the point.

For instance, I was unaware that the group which actually got the permit to hold the 'rally' in defense of the statue was associated with Nazis. Now admittedly, I was on vacation and away from the TV, but I had heard about it on the radio. IF I had been in that area with nothing else to do, I may well have gone to that park to lend my support to defending the statues - if for no other reason than to be on the ground to witness what antics is all about. I am as far from a 'nazi' as you can possibly be. I suspect there were several or many people attracted to that park for the very same reason. Certainly not everyone there was a nazi.

And that is beside the point - the group had a permit to be there. Antifa had no permit - they organized a 'protest' with the singular goal of inciting violence. To me, Antifa, as a group, is far more responsible for what happened than are the Nazis, as a group.

Now we know that some crazy person went off the rails and rammed a car into a group of people - that was not advocated by the Nazis - that was in response to what the antifa group was doing.

Both sides of this event were pieces of dog shite. Both sides should have been equally condemned for the violence that erupted. The individual who committed the murder should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

If you are going to condemn the Nazis for this, you have a lot of condemnation to hand out to BLM for the dozen assassinations of policemen under their influence, and for a lot of shed blood by the antifa group for attacking peaceful groups trying to listen to a scheduled presentation by conservative groups.

Antifa represents x1000 more of a threat to the USA than the miserable antics of the KKK and neoNazis.

Because you and the pres are essentially equating a group of idiots who, yes, are sometimes violent, but in general just have a dumb political view, with Nazis - people who literally advocate for genocide

You're confused.

sometimes violent

They are always violent.

Nazis killed 6 million.

Communists have killed over 100 million.

You are right, it is silly to equate wanna be neo Nazis and wanna be antifa communists. Antifa are 15x worse.
