Like, actual, literal Nazis?

You wouldn't think a hundred jackasses ranting in a park about how much they miss Hitler could possibly have an upside, but when the world has been an unceasing parade of horror, violence and awfulness, you take what you can get. And what you can get is a warm fuzzy about the fact that something like 40,000 people showed up in Boston today to protest an alt-right free speech rally at which an hilarious 100 people showed up.

Those numbers are of course estimates and there may have been some of those tarps leftover
from the inauguration that made the alt-right's turn out look much lower. Goddamn tarps...

Also, Irish stuff and drinking.

And while it might on the face of it sound wrong that 40,000 people showed up to protest free speech, it's not exactly that simple. Alt-right is code for white supremacist and the free speech they're so keen on is specifically the freedom to make speeches that call for things like exterminating non-white people. Because these guys are Nazis. Literal, actual Nazis. And Boston hates those guys. Like, wicked hahd. Go Sox. Oh, and to be clear, I don't actually care about sports, I just thought I'd toss in some Boston stereotypes.

Anyway, in a stunning move, the President whom you might recall lept to the defense of actual, literal Nazis just the other day, quickly took to twitter-after what I'm sure was a sufficient amount of time to gather the facts, something he cares deeply about, shut up, yes he does-where was I? Right, took to twitter to denounce the people protesting the actual, literal Nazis as anti-police agitators:

Is it possible he's just randomly pecking at the screen

and honestly doesn't know what he's saying? I'm not

saying that'd make me feel much better, but still...

Um...the 'SS' shirt on that guys shirt refers to
the Nazi military organization that carried out
the Holocaust. So yeah, literal fucking Nazis

What the shit? Anti-police agitators? Is he referring to the forty-thousand people who showed up to protest the Nazis that were goose-stepping around a park in Downtown Boston? Nazis who were gathering in a park in downtown Boston as a show of solidarity with other Nazis? One of whom drove a car into a crowd injuring 19 and killing a woman all because they think white guys have been getting a raw deal? In a country that just (electoral college-ly) elected the guy that made up that horseshit about Obama's birth certificate? That's the side Donald Trump is taking after a week of universal, world-wide, unanimous shaming?

Apparently yes. For about an hour and a half before tweeting his support for the protestors and saying that he'd like to applaud them for speaking out against hate and bigotry which is weird because they were anti-police agitators like, less than two hours earlier. Does he not know we can read his previous posts? Or does he just think we're all like, you know, stupid?

Well, we are increasingly coming together in the common desire
that Donald Trump wasn't the President anymore, so he's kind of right.
