There was a time when the soldiers of the “Invisible Empire” could march openly en masse without aggressive popular opposition. More recent events, especially in Charlottesville, show that those days are over, hopefully forever. Various commentators have opined that resistance should take the forms of humor, love, intelligent conversation, disregard and other means, so long as decorum is observed.
The educated and articulate apologists of social inequality, the Klan, and Nazi-wannabes have always been with us, and they will never be gone completely.
But whenever and wherever they assert themselves, they must be vigorously and unequivocally opposed by all legal means, lest they overrun the place.
