Ring of Fires Farron Cousins discusses this.

(6,238 posts)If nothing else you could at least say the German soldiers in WWII were brave for fighting for their country, but these guys are nothing more than bullies and cowards. If they ever got their revolution it would last all of five minutes as the vast majority of the country, white and otherwise, turned on them. Most of these assholes would likely soil themselves at the prospect of facing actual soldiers.
Also, I won't call Trump a Nazi, but I will say that you can judge a person's ideas by the quality of the people they attract. When you start attracting Nazi and Klan scum, then you really need to take a long hard look at your life.

Trump has unleashed demons on the land, and his demagoguery thrives on this kind of violent chaos.
For months, observers have noted the violence behind Donald Trumps message and the bigotry and xenophobia it has stirred up. As the grassroots opposition to Trump and Trumpism has grown, the call for nonviolent resistance to the politics of hate has grown as well. But a violent melee at Californias Capitol Building in Sacramento on Sunday between neo-Nazis and sectarian leftists demonstrates how difficult it may be to contain the extremist tendencies now stalking the land.
For the past month, the Ku Klux Klan, various neo-Nazi groups, and the Traditionalist Worker Party, a far-right nationalist party established last year to promote the values of faith, family, and folk, have been preparing for a demonstration on the steps of Sacramentos capitol. In response, an array of ad-hoc anti-fascist and anti-racist groups announced they would blockade the capitol to prevent the Nazis from gathering.
Trump thrives in an environment such as this. He thrives in an atmosphere where one group attacks another, where chaos begets chaos begets chaos, and where power is determined by brute force rather than debate. That has always been the way of demagogues. Trump must be stopped; and so too must the miscellaneous supremacist movements that, taking advantage of this raw, ugly, moment, are now coming out from under their rocks to demonstrate and sow mayhem in one city after another. But he must be stopped through nonviolent protests. And the supremacists who feel empowered and emboldened by his candidacy must also be met, time and again, by nonviolent actions.

He credits the expansion in part to Donald Trumps candidacy. Donald Trump is not one of us, which is why were not officially endorsing him, but hes introducing these ideas to the public sphere, Heimbach said. Donald Trump shows the Republican cowardice against their own base, but also the fact that reform is impossible within the system.
