These hate rallies are the ultimate proof of white privilege

Trump wouldn't be talking about "many sides" if the driver's name was Muhammad.

If it was called the Daily Jihad instead of the Daily Stormer, drones would be dispatched to deal with the editors of that site.

Heck, I am willing to bet if it was Muslims or if it was a Black Lives Matter protest, then we would be at DEFCON 3 right about now.

It's the reason why there wasn't a militarized response to their hate meetings.

There are a bunch around the nation, names, addresses, websites advertised, their numbers growing rather than decreasing in this unfortunate period, and no dots mysteriously "erased" from the map.

Not what you're talking about, but this reminds me of the time I watched a Texas pol and citizens spend a couple hours on public TV talking about government oppression, plotting armed sedition, violent secession from the nation, and shooting down any authorities, local or federal, who got in the way. Then, I imagine, they all went out to dinner and scheduled their next seditious meeting, or plans for the weekend, or whatever.

They haven't done the actions of Daily Stormer, not even close.

I'm getting some of my own back here. I don't do false equivalence, LanternWaste, and Charlottesville is only the most recent, big episode among many.
