Still, an odd place since they were all part of the Union.

At odds with the whole Civil War narrative.

Not really. They're all anti-American.

Idaho wasn't even a state yet, but it's full of the alt-right, neo-Nazi skinhead idiots.

So, the Civil War and a statue of Lee has nothing to do with it.

Huh? These racist nut jobs will rally and march for anything they perceive as a threat to "white superiority". One of these was the removal of the statue of the despicable Lee...

Probably. But, it must have been the KKK Nazis fighting other KKK Nazis since according to all the media and politicians nobody else was involved.

There were Nazis and anti-Nazis. Not exactly morally equivalent IMO.

I don't disagree. I don't like pit bulls, but I don't go around poking them.

This notion that if you don't confront them they are going to grow in to some huge movement is ridiculous. Much more likely that they will grow if the media and politicians keep advertising them 24/7 .

Here's a little history lesson for you - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_American_Bund

It isn't just the Lost Causers, they've joined up with the neo-Nazis. You didn't see all those swastika flags in the news reports?
