I most certainly did not " indicate that these days are like the street battles between the Brown Shirts and the Communists". What I said was "we seem to be moving a little closer to Weimar Germany, with its running street battles between the Communists and the SA." The situation is still a long way from Weimar, but it's even further from the Nazi era.

I understand there were about 500 "Unite the right" protestors in Charlottesville. That's not even enough to recreate the Beer Hall Putsch, despite the greater US population and better transportation.
