4. There is a difference between being "conservative" and supporting racism and White Supremacy

Granted, that line is blurring and a solid argument can be made that conservatism seeks to maintain the White hegemony which this country was founded upon, but if we suspend that disbelief for a second, we can still see that this kid is wrong.

He is not at a rally to promote conservative values. He is at a rally that was specifically put together to promote White Supremacy and planned by the same Nazi and KKK groups that planned Charlottesville. He was there to support that cause not some generic and removed notion of conservatism. I would have liked to see someone question him directly on that. "You say it is sad that "conservative voices" are being silenced, so you are saying that those men over there who are supporting white supremacy, by their own admission, are supporting conservatism? You are saying right here, that conservatism supports white supremacy?"
