It wasn't a Klan rally, it was a protest march against the removal of a statue of Lee. Not everyone who showed up was a member of the Klan or the nazis, just as not everyone who celebrates Thomas Jefferson's work is an advocate of slavery.You like associating with NAZIs?Why would you leave if you have another purpose for being there?White supremacist posters and chants
At what point do you leave?
It defines you
Like I said, I don't care if the Klan is putting together a great camping trip that sounds like fun. I'm not going to hang out with the Klan at one of their events.
If the Nazi's want to have a bake sale, I'm not going to go there to buy some cookies from them and support them even if I really like cookies.
There's NO good reason to join the largest nazi/Klan rally in decades. None at all to say "this is what I want to join and these are the people I want to associate with and help".
Then why did the rally have the leaders of 4 nazi groups and a grand wizard as their highlighted speakers? Why was it put together and promoted by the biggest nazi groups and local klan chapters? Yes it's intent was to protest a name change (please educate yourself on this if you want to talk on this. There was no push at the time to pull the statue, what you are saying is either uninformed or a lie). But I can't see any cause where I'd want to join the Klan and Nazi's to support. I'll find a day when the nazi's and Klan aren't there to support the cause. Because I don't think very nice people become nazi sympathizers and friends of the Klan.
This is a nazi rally. This is what the people that put it together promoted it as.

It was literally a Klan and Nazi rally because it was put together, promoted by, set up by, and had selected speakers from the Klan and the nazi's.
I don't care if the Klan and Nazi's have a rally to celebrate the daytona 500 or the upcoming 4th of July. It's still a Klan and Nazi rally if it is being put together by the Klan and Nazi's.
Because they want to lure people in, under false pretenses, and then try to recruit.
Also, to work with the media, to falsely inflate their numbers and relevance.
