    I think you overestimate how many people are obsessed with internet politics.

    The nazis at the rally were chanting nazi slogans and carrying torches. They were not immediately removed from the rally. They were not removed at all. It was obvious to even the most casual observer that it was a nazi rally. Anyone marching in a nazi rally is a nazi. Even when Trump calls them “very fine people” and unconvincingly walks it back.

    Now go ahead and pretend that fools who didn’t know any better in the 30s are equivalent to people in 2017 who should have known better but marched with nazis anyway. You seem to be under the impression that it’s a good look.

      Most people don’t know Nazi slogans or associate torches with Nazis.

      How can you know if those who don’t recognize it you call them Nazis and dismiss what they perceived?

      I didn’t say it was a good look? It’s not like I was there.

        The chanting of “Jews will not replace us” doesn’t exactly leave room for doubt. Neither did the nazi flags.

        Keep making excuses for nazis. It’s obvious what sort of bar this is.
