No, you are absolutely right, these people do exist and in droves. But I view them as a fanatical anomaly that can, and should, be sliced off the body politic like a malignant mole. At the same time, I'm not comfortable condemning the entire alt-right/alt-lite (which is, at the very least, a somewhat sensible attempt to distance from the anti-Semitic idiocy) to hell as neo-Nazis because of this unavoidable intersection of populism-nationalism-neofascism (née nazism [?]).
I'm looking at this from the perspective of trying to accurately understand why a President might be reluctant to chastise a specific group of protesters. I think you know that it's not because he's a closet white supremacist, and certainly not because he can't survive without their vote, but because there is a fringe element to consider and they, unlike the NSM, or Richard Spencer, or Vanguard America, are 'reachable' in a progressive sociopolitical sense.
