The First Amendment is still in place, which means people with terrible ideas are still allowed to express them publicly. It doesn't protect violence.


Nazi rhetoric is violence. It goes above and beyond general racism and into being an actionable threat just by its mere public utterance


No, it's not, and I hate you for making me defend Nazis. Until somebody starts making specific threats like, "We need to bomb the XYZ Building," or, "We need to kill Jane Smith," it doesn't reach the level of actionable.

But let's take your argument and pretend you're right. Does that call for vigilante tactics? Shouldn't these counter-protesters call for the police? And if not, then why are they the only movement that's allowed to be violent?
