I got that completely wrong. Someone wasn't content with just hate speech. He wanted to hurt some people. Trump's true allies.
And though he didn't end up shooting someone on 5th avenue, he'll still not lose one supporter over this.

(54,445 posts)I am now seeing reports that the car crashed into people protesting the Nazis, in which case, it's a LOT worse.

and Faubus are more like it. Trump has empowered them even more.
