What I found interesting about this article is that gender doesn't seem to play a role. I would have thought the typical profile would be a poor, uneducated white MALE, but not according to the article. Curious, because every time I see pictures of these demonstrators and/or protesters, the white supremacists are almost all white males while many of the anti-supremacist protesters are women.
I had a feeling there was something wrong with the claim in the article that gender doesn't play a role (and/or in the name of separating fact from fiction), I came across this article that suggests otherwise, more the obvious...

Never thought of that, but it makes sense. Many men feel emasculated, and closing ranks in the far-right. Said persons see things from the perspective of "they took your woman" or "they're coming for your women". Some are divorced men who now look up to those who have a very critical, in many cases disdainful, view of women. Many men in the far right feel that they aren't represented anywhere else.
"The Traditionalist Workers Party, a white nationalist group, came to an end in March as Poolesville native and founder Matthew Heimbach allegedly choked his father-in-law and group co-founder David Parrott to the point of losing consciousness in an Indiana trailer park."
Appears the altercation was over Heimbach having sex with his mother-in-law. When the cops showed up, he also choked his wife in front of their young children. She's since filed for divorce.
On the police report, all the parties involved listed their occupation as “White Nationalist."
Appears this altercation has impacted Heimbach White Nationalist activities as he stated the charges against him kept him from attending the “Unite The Right 2” rally in Washington, D.C. this past weekend.
Seems the only whites who really know what it is to be part of the White Nationalist Movement are the ones who make a point of describing themselves as such, or those who denounce them for being a part. Unfortunately there are too many other people, typically white as well, who don't really know what this is all about or think it's patriotic, to be expected or of no real consequence...
It's the many who don't see the wrong with these alt-right movements that make the problem a problem of consequence!
Yes, same can be said for radical leftist movements too, but again, "two wrongs don't make a right!" They don't cancel themselves out either. Wrong is wrong, and these white alt-right wing nuts are wrong, plain and simple.
