All it takes for Trump cultists, is an Alex Jones.Alex Jones, one of President Trump’s favorite broadcasters, is calling for civil war
In his radio show, on YouTube and on his Infowars website, Jones—who never met a conspiracy theory he didn’t like and who has pushed the notion that Sandy Hook was faked—has been announcing that the United States is on the verge of a bloody second civil war. Like the radio DJs in Rwanda, Jones has been egging on his conservative listeners and viewers—an estimated 2.7 million people monthly—to kill more liberal fellow citizens over their political differences.
This kind of rhetoric needs to be actively opposed regardless of what side it's on - it's ginning up the politics of fear and there are always nuts waiting in the wings to act on it.
And he has a big following - that is what is disturbing.
But his people aren't travelling out of state to attack people. That is only antifa who is doing that.
Where'd all the people come from for the rally in Charlottesville?
The majority were locals. Within 100 miles from the event from what i heard from my law enforcement contacts. Like I said, there was a UNR student who made the trip and his presence made national news.
According to this there were numerous out of state militia groups:

Numerous armed, right-wing militia groups were present at the rally, claiming to be there to protect the First Amendment rights of the demonstrators. Groups involved included the Pennsylvania Light Foot Militia,[62] the New York Light Foot Militia,[63] the Virginia Minutemen Militia,[64] the Oath Keepers and the 3 Percenters.[65]
