He doesn't want to lose their votes.

He loses their support and his favourable opinion polling will drop to something like 15%.

heh heh heh

I was hoping someone was going to proper lamp him in the face like this:

What a dreadful punch, look at that weak fist.

Seriously though, they shouldn't be getting violent against these people, doesn't help anybody.

While in most cases violence should be the last resort, I'm okay if some literal nazis get punched.

More like Vile Hitler amirite

Let's play a game. It's called "Spot the repressed minority"

So SoK's gone for "the repressed minority is the white guy with weird ears"

It's a bold answer, I'll give him that.

Of course he is. Straight white male christians have the toughest of lives. We can't even have Christmas anymore.

Don't make me get them to send you to Diane Abbot's Labour Camp.

Violence against them is counter productive. Let them have their stupid march, the pictures from Saturday with the torches and swastikas speak volumes alone and was an absolutely massive own goal which has damaged the whole of the right. You have people on the right like Lauren Southern openly denouncing them.

I'd promote the model you see in the UK where EDL March and the anti-EDL counter march and it generally goes peacefully and thanks to "muslamic ray guns" and the like the EDL are largely dead in the water and a laughing stock.

This punch a Nazi meme creates an inflated atmosphere where the right wing Nazis's are expecting trouble and you will see them becoming more and more aggressive.

Someone died and dozens were injured because of their march (if you dare even suggest it's the protesters fault...)

And you think they care?

And yet you have the President going out of his way not to condemn them (which we've seen embolded them further) and legitmises them/delegitimizes opposition with false equivalency.

This punch a Nazi meme creates an inflated atmosphere where the right wing Nazis's are expecting trouble and you will see them becoming more and more aggressive.

Oh so it's other people's fault for provoking/antagonising them? The fully armed miltia was peaceful until someone was mean to to it? "Guys punching a Nazis is wrong"

This. This type of gooseberry fool right here is why people think you're right wing. Hand wringing and apologising/absolving for violent facists.

If it's good enough for Cap, then it's good enough for me.

Was it?

This was a bunch of white supremacists, who set out to let everyone know that they are still there, and worst of all are not afraid to show it. As far as I can see, they've achieved their aims.

The match might have been called "Unite the right" but it certainly had nothing to do with bringing the whole of the right together into some moderate right middle ground. It's not about getting behind the old school Conservatives in the republican party. It all came about in order to defend a racist statue of a racist civil war General. This was uniting the extreme right, so they could make a show to people that they're here, and they're numerous.

Nazis like this only exist to promote violence against others not like them. Whilst an escalation in public violence which is likely to result from more of these marches and their counter marches is not a good thing, I certainly don't have a problem with anyone lamping an actual Nazi.
