I wouldn't say I was 'appalled'... I don't get that emotionally invested in a place I've never been to. But I think you undermine the damage that Antifa has done. At no point did I justify neonazism as an ideology. My only point is that providing people do things through the legal means, ie, peaceful protesting, then they should be free to do so. Antifa are making a conscious decision to suppress the freedoms that The US enjoys because they simply don't agree with it.
And there's blatantly a left and right. Ok so it's been massively over dramatized in the US to the point that it's practically a reality TV show, but at the end of the day, some people want Anarchism, and others what statism. Some people want something in between. All these ideas are rational in a sense but not mutually exclusive. Therefore you have a spectrum of ideas we call left, centre and right.
Integrity is in the eye of the beholder, after all. Many think Trump has integrity because he 'doesn't take any shit' and 'gets straight to the point'. Others think he's a bumbling buffoon who has no idea what it means to be a president. That's the crux of the issue here. Democracy just isn't as simple as 'choose somebody who isn't an asshole', because the definition of 'asshole' quickly breaks down.
