Naziism was a specific politick and I don't want to detract from those specific crimes. Fascism, otoh, is easily defined.

Accusations of "Nazi" are best left to those who directly reference or are inspired from that party.

One of the ways to do that is to use actual Nazi chants at your rallies. "Blood and Soil" is one such chant.

When your politics meet the criteria of fascism, when you gather with torches, and when you chant Nazi slogans... you know the taxonomy.

100 Nazis gathered in a park near my house. 100 Nazis gathered in a place to defend the legacy of chattel slavery in the place where I live

Lee Park and the Downtown Mall is a staple of Charlottesville life. It's my *everyday life* and Nazis gathered there. This feels personal.

Incidentally, "get out" has been a theme of this trip. I want to fight this. But maybe the best thing to do is take my money and walk.
