I put the remote on MUTE when MSNBC shows a clip.

Makes me wonder how many people left the speech to go to the bathroom.

free speech, tolerance, etc., and they cheered that, so it could be worse. As long as they believe it, that's something to build on. Of course, the nationalist bloviating wasn't so encouraging...

'tolerance' for them means we're willing to put up with and excuse their Hate.

I'll own that, and I don't much care how their reptillian amygdalyas feel about that.

Someone writing about the dreadful mistakes the people of Germany made in the early 1930s pointed out that too many abandoned their moral duty to think.

You're hardly the only one to dislike what they're doing on the right, but, to put it mildly, fear and anger do not require or excuse copying their behaviors.

FORCEFUL rejection of their hatred and bigotry. If they're offended by that position on my part, I really don't give a shit.

This goes back to the question 'should Nazis be punched in the head?'

It wasn't that long ago that real American Patriots found that shooting Nazis in the head was an acceptable practice, so I think they shouldn't be overly complain-y about a few punches to the jaw

YMMV.

They're not punched in the jaw, even the slightest bit. And, btw, neither am I.

Remember "United we stand, divided we fall?" We're divided.

We won't be safe from the evils rising on the right until we rebuild a stable electoral majority. For that we must have more votes and they must have fewer.

Think how to get there.
