I mean I get it. Sometimes I regurgitate my food, chew it up, and swallow it again. It doesn't taste as good the second time around but I have an easier time digesting it. I figure that this protest was meant to do the same thing. Because it's on a much smaller scale I don't doubt this march will, for the most part, go somewhat ignored. What was so scary about the first few marches was the number of people that were involved and media's attempt to whitewash it. It's so much easier to distance yourself from a smaller group of people and say, "Well they're crazy and I'm not like that."
Donald Trump's supporters are another example of this. Democrats ignored them because in their polls he didn't seem like much of a threat. Whether it was Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders he was supposed to lose. His candidacy overall was looked at as a big fat joke. Fast forward about 10 months into his first term and we see that was not at all the case. It's important we treat this march and the others Richard Spencer is claiming will happen no matter how minuscule they seem with that fact in mind.
Way too often we seek to humanize this aggressive and repulsive behavior. We have a president that has said these are "very fine people." You may think that this won't affect you in any way but you are sorely mistaken. The KKK and Neo Nazi's only goal is for this country to go back to its "European roots." To them, desegregation is and was a failed social experiment. Call me crazy but if we continue to let their ideologies brainwash the masses it is only a matter of time until we see our second civil war.
White Nationalists have been rebranding themselves for a while now to appeal to White Americans who feel disenfranchised by the government and society. If Donald Trump isn't proof of that alone I don't know what is. And If these people are somehow successful and do get rid of all the Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Jews, and etc. do you really think you're safe? If a purebred society is what they're after you're about a DNA test away from discovering you're 3% East African.
