They can congratulate themselves on a magazine cover that very few Americans will ever see.
I don't know the makeup of the crowd in Charlottesville, but I assume that the pro-statue group was not all extremists and neo-Nazis but included people there out of curiosity or because they don't like the Left's attack on Southern heritage.
The Nazis in WWII (and before) were horrible. Some of my relatives were killed in WWII fighting the Germans, but I am sure there were lots of decent men in the German army who were not Nazis, just citizens who had to serve because their country was at war.
