Per CNN: about 2 dozen Nazis in DC

Looks like thousands of regular humans. CNN is saying they are protesting the racists.

Good on them for getting the message right. The CNN reporter covering the Nazi side of things sounds disgusted that so much LEO power has to be wasted on these losers.

Thunderstorms are moving into the area.

I thought this rally might be a giant bust, as many alt-right groups didn't support it who were at Charlottesville last year.

I would go there tonight if I still lived there.

During the Obama administration, I wished we still lived in the DC area. Now, I am glad we don't.

The vast, vast majority keep their hatreds undercover or claim they are patriots voting for America as it was (a grotesque, pornographic fantasy because America was always riff with racism, economic inequality, and uber rich people taking advantage of the rest).

If there were thousands willing to rally for the KKK/Nazi/White Supremacists, I'd be a lot more worried about a Hitler like power grab.

11. they're actually afraid of coming to D.C.

...I'll be surprised if they manage to get 50 of them to show up.


13. I remember the Klan rallies in suburban Md.

...about 20 would show, greeted by about 200 counter-protestors.

two dozen, that's two dozen whose "dedication to the cause" we can spread far and wide. To their employers and families, even!

After seeing that there were only 24 of them and thousands of anti-them, would any of them think that, perhaps, they were wrong?
Just a musing.
