But without the validation of the WH behind their actions, do you think there would have been a torch lit march such as we witnessed on Fri? Or a crazy violent confrontation with death & injury like Sat? I really don't know. They are emboldened now and may not have been so under Hillary.

No doubt there would be major problems, and probably some of them quite extreme that we cannot even conceive now. Their hatred of Hillary is beyond the norm and would be backed by the House & the Senate, in fact I think we would see a lot more craziness from Congress if Hillary was Pres but I just don't think the nazi/white extremists would be as overt.
