The far-right demonstrators are so far to the right that they are on the left. They have more in common with the left.
It was another left hate group vs a left hate group event.
unite the right was planned by an occupy wall street guy using a vague platform of white nationalism last year. He invited the KKK and some aryans and then at the last minute went on to a bunch of conservative / pro Trump boards and invited everyone to his “Unite The Right” rally.
This gave them an opportunity to associate the alt-right with white supremacists and gave Antifa an event to “resist”.
He is an agent provocateur and everyone realized they had been used last year...which is why no one showed up this year. There are no white supremacists in the conservative movement. This is completely made up by Antifa types to give them a boogie man to struggle against. They are being manipulated...but they shouldn’t be ignored.
Germany had the Jews... it appears that the US has their conservatives to vilify.
