I'm sorry but this is not possible.
The same way that anyone who supports Drump is a Nazi...anyone who protested him is clearly a hate filled Antifa aggressor.
You are either with the resistance or against it. Come on man.

That is not the claim that I have heard from anyone I know who attended the counterprotest.

Hate is thoughts and words.
They were protesting thoughts and words.
Weak argument coming from you (which I mean as a compliment, since I generally have respect for the thought you put into your views and your expression of them here, though I often disagree with them).
To answer the question you posed to me, the people I know personally who went to the counterprotest were not protesting "thoughts and words" or "free speech". They recognize the right of the rally to speak, but they also recognize their right to exercise their own right to free speech. Their speech (at least of the people I know personally who attended) was directed a number of things, including remembrance of actual actions - not thoughts and words but the actions done in their name - taken by the original Nazis; as well as the sacrifice of Americans and their allies in WWII to halt those actions; and expression of a commitment not to allow the ideology that motivated those vile actions to take root in a way that threatens to bring those deeds into the fore again.
It is often said that the answer to speech you don't like is more speech. That is what happened here. The fact that the original 'free speech' rally got drowned out by counter speech is not worrying, it is reassuring.
