One side has literal Nazis marching for it, yelling “Jews will not replace us,” though...

And the other side attacked actual Jews with rocks and bottles recently. What, that's not "your side"? Neither are those guys "their side".

On October 25th, in New York City, a miles-long parade of Jewish Trump supporters got attacked. The usual offensive words were said.

Were they Nazis doing counter protesting? No? Then this is not relevant to the conversation.

The point is that associating one political party in particular with fascist and white supremacist views is not an exaggeration; one party’s leader embraces them as “very fine people.”

I think most people on both “sides” find that unacceptable.

They do not.

Only one American political party needs white supremacist votes in order to be elected. Only one.

Than why have the GOP not not denounced them? Their silence is approval of the Nazis.

It's time for a fact check: https://finepeople.org/

The short video at the bottom of the page is particularly interesting.

But (at least in the US) the leader of one side doesn't - not enough to condemn it.
