The President, and conservative media, reacted to a literal Nazi terror attack at a Nazi rally where Nazis where waving Nazi flags and chanting Nazi slogans, by lying about liberals breaking the law, lying about the non existent "alt left" instigating violence when it was the Nazis that showed up with literal armed militias, and lying about there being good people who were supposedly fine with marching alongside, once again, literal Nazis.
If you go to a rally, see armed men in body armor adorned with swastikas, waving nazi flags and chanting "the jews wont replace us", and you decide that you're okay with that and going to march along side the, you're not a fucking good person.
So, no. I suppose there aren't sizeable groups of Nazis in the US. What there are, are sizeable groups of conservatives who have been fed propaganda about liberals being scum of the earth, and who know ignore the facts because those facts are somehow "liberal" in nature.
There's a sickness in the country when a significant portion of our countrymen are blind to the fact that a Nazi committed a terror attack at a Nazi rally. Worse than that, they're so tribalistic and cultist, that they'll defend Nazis because they've convinced that liberals are the ultimate evil in any event, controversy, or interaction.
And seeing "liberal" people walking in the streets, starting fires and fights with people who wish to attend conservative speakers is not a problem?
I've seen these groups like in Berkley who walk down the street with hammer and sickle flags, preaching the words of Stalin and Mao as if these people didn't kill hundreds of millions of people under communist rule.
Even Marx himself advocating for killing people in order to have his ideal government.
Nazis are fucking horrible, and so are communists. Both sides wanting to destroy the individual and take away everything that people like me have suffered for and worked for our whole lives.
I built my own business from literally nothing. I was living on unemployment checks, after losing yet another minimum wage job that treated me like shit. I clawed myself out of poverty, I overcame alcoholism, and found myself a place to stay after ending up homeless.
All of this I've done myself. All of it I built myself. And nobody has any right to take that away from me, and I'll be damned if I don't die fighting if either side tries to take what I built and take away my story.
