That's what I've read as well. If that's the case, I don't have much of a problem with people protesting. Here's a tidbit from an article in the Boston Globe talking about Richard Spencer, head of the National Policy Institute:

Quote:
Spencer drew national attention in November, soon after Trump’s election, when he greeted attendees at the National Policy Institute’s annual conference in Washington by pronouncing, “Hail Trump, hail our people, hail victory!” The crowd broke out into cheers and many performed Nazi salutes, as caught on video by The Atlantic.

This behavior is a little too close to Nazi Germany for my taste. Making our country a more equitable place for everyone is one thing, but there are some white supremacist nutjobs that the party can do without.
