It was a rally organized by white supremacists that was publicized as a rally about historical statues, in a dishonest attempt by the white supremacists to co-opt a larger and more popular issue to dishonestly inflate their perceived numbers and relevance.
ANYTIME that a rally has numbers in the triple digits, it is not likely to actually be white supremacists. Their rallies are considered successes in they can get double digits. And I mean like 12.
There were plenty of people there, who supported the statues who were not white supremacists.
It’s hard for me to imagine the person who accidentally winds up at a rally organized by known white supremacists advertising using white supremacist imagery and hosting white supremacist speakers, marching along people flying Nazi flags chanting anti-Semitic slogan.
You want me to believe that normal people do that? I just find that a bit hard to believe.
THat is the trick they are playing on you. The nazis and their allies in the media.
"known white supremacists"? I only know of the one, and only because I spend so much time on political discussion sites. Most people never heard of these people at all.
"white supremacist imagery"? Outside of a few actions movies or tv shows, with Nazis bad guys, where have you been exposed to their imagery? I noted some of that, but it is certainly believable that regular people would not.
THe tiki torch parade was THE NIGHT BEFORE.
YOu have been lied to. Now you that you have been informed, you have to decide whether you are going to conform and support the lie, or stand for the Truth.
So if you’re going to go to a rally, don’t you look who is going to be speaking there? Who is organizing it? If anyone spent five minutes, they’d realize that not only was it organized by white supremacists, but the speakers were as well.
Here are posters advertising the rally. Would you go to this rally?

I just find it hard to believe someone would accidentally wind up there.
Why? Do you think Nazis are above lying to try to co-opt another issue? DO you think that nazis regularly get HUNDREDS of people to their events? Do you know how much smaller their rally was the next year?
AND even if you are right, and Trump was wrong, what does that prove?
President Trump and I believe that the majority of the people at the rally, were lured there by false premises. If we are wrong, then Trump's words on the people there, were honestly mistaken, and, wrong.
He still was clear that he was NOT saying what the media and liberals are lying about, ie that nazis are fine people.
AT MOST, he might have been honestly mistaken about who was there. He was clear he was not calling nazis very fine people and the media and liberals have been lying about that since then.
Do you feel you need to lie to make the case for your side? Or do you think that you want to speak the Truth?
