The Nazi groups that marched in Charlottesville, cannot be considered a “side.” When they carry torches, they imitate Nazi rituals. Heil!” In Charlottesville, American Nazis shouted “Sieg! In power, Hitler assimilated all opponents to the other “side” and had them sent to camps or killed. American Nazis dream of another Reichstag fire, a moment of terror in which the president will show his true colors and his opposition can be crushed. We might choose to forget these slogans and these events from the years before World War II, but American Nazis remember the history in their own way, and so does President Trump.
