Yet there are still Nazis.

In any meaningful sense?? Yeah, there are some edgy attention-seekers, but no, there are no longer real threatening Nazis.

If they're not threatening then there's no point in punching them, beyond perhaps satisfying one's own violent urges.

No? Not the guy who shot up a mall in May?

"Texas mall shooting: gunman expressed interest in neo-Nazi views – report"

Or the guy who shot up a dollar store

Or "Neo-Nazi Marine Plotted Mass Murder, Rape Campaigns with Group, Feds Say While tasked with protecting the nation, Matthew Belanger was plotting a killing spree against minorities and to rape “white women to increase the production of white children,” according to federal prosecutors"

Weird that you apparently feel compelled to downplay the threat.

Um, yeah, okay, there is a crazy dude who was engaged in violent asshole behavior. I don't see how it's helpful to get all outraged and apply Nazi labels.

Yet there are still Nazis

...in brigade-level strength, that liberals have been rooting for for almost two years now. Shrug. Don't waste time explaining this to them.
