Today is a good day to remember the time I told my Jewish grandmother, who had been an officer in the Red Army all through WWII, about the debate over punching Nazis.
"This is trick question," she said, narrowing her eyes. "When you are done punching, Nazi is still alive, yes?"
@maxh @daniel @evacide It took a couple more battles. There were the April and Dec 2017 humiliating defeats by anti-Fascist fighters in front of the White House. Both of these ended with him being pursued to a cab, and in the first case losing that cab and having to get another.
He got big-time maced in Charlottesville, plus buried under maybe 1,000 pounds of cops for refusing to vacate the park.
He tried to come back with a campus speaking tour, but first in Florida and finally in Michigan these went poorly for him. The "Battle of Michigan" in Spring 2018 seems to have been the end of him and his influence.
In 2016 the NPI/Spencer/alt-right wing of the Nazis were the most dangerous people Trump brought to the party. In 2020 it was the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, and 3%'ers whose fortunes rose after Cville made the hard alt-righr look so bad.
Today it's the hardcore theocrats. Worst of all is the New Apostolic Reformation with their "seven mountains mandate" demanding religious extremist control of government, media, family, and so much more. These folks played a major role in vetting Trump's SCOTUS picks last time around.
