LOL, now you're talking about "alternate histories" ... lol.
I love science fiction.
I post sources
you respond with gibberish
good day
You haven't posted a single source that contradicts what Windword said, to wit ... Nazis are bad, the US defeated Nazi Germany in World War II and have ALWAYS portrayed that action as a victory over evil, etc. etc.
You seem to be hung upon the trivial point that you think the attack on Pearl Harbor started the war with Germany. All you've done here is try to repeat that point. I've QUOTED the source for the Declaration of War on Germany, and you still don't get it.
Please do stop embarrassing yourself.
Nazis are bad. Nazis are so bad that Americans got off their sofas and tractors and declared war, joined the Allies and went to war against NAZI GERMANY. We didn't go to war with some Germans, we went to war with NAZI controlled Germany.
In the 1930s, the United States Government enacted a series of laws designed to prevent the United States from being embroiled in a foreign war by clearly stating the terms of U.S. neutrality.

your opinion is irrelevant

I'm not sure it's merely "inflammation" ... which I suppose is a more cultured way of calling it "butthurt."
We disagree about the significance of Nazi flags being marched down city streets beside the Stars and Bars on the way to a political rally declaring unification of Nazi/White Supremacist/etc. groups.
The "retards" that like to assault people are everywhere ... not on "a side."
Public speech is indeed one thing. We recognize limitations on that speech as incitement, libel, slander, etc.
Private speech is another thing. We recognize limitations on that speech as assault, fighting words, etc.
I just can't blame the police for crimes committed, Texan. Our mileages on that point vary.
Thanks for the convo, as always.

I repeat. There are not "many sides" when it comes to NAZIs. There is the NAZI side and there is the other (not NAZI) side.

I don't care what you choose to believe concerning the president's statements--I've been dealing with too many infantile people lately (some in my own extended family) who can't understand that their ideology shouldn't dictate their belief in other people's statements. To many people, Trump is the anti-Christ devil beast who can never do anything correct. I'm uncertain if you fall in that category, but it would seem that you do.
I'm going to spell it out for you one more time: He didn't say that Nazis are good people, he said that not everyone there held those racist beliefs, and with that in mind, some of the people (those not there intent on racism and violence on both sides) were good people. I don't understand why that is incomprehensible and seen to be an impossibility by many people, but just because you can't wrap your brain around it doesn't mean that it isn't so.
You want to talk about "shuck and jive," take a look back at your initial comment in this thread, which is a complete misinterpretation and misrepresentation of what the president said. But, yes, it is me who is the one twisting words.

All that is common knowledge (for anyone who knows history).

Incitement and assault are not "new" limitations on speech.
Tenth amendment ... the power to determine how public land will be used is the purview of the local government.
The city of Charlottesville has an implicit responsibility to protect the public ... but they're not responsible for individual actions of intentional incitement and assault.
The City is not the "nanny" of any of the attendees.
