13. What evidence do you have that these individuals engaged in such speech or physical intimidation?

Why are there no criminal charges against them? That tells me they did not engage in physical intimidation. Biden's comments were not about these particular individuals. Yet you would paint them all with a broach brush because you oppose their cause.

And thanks for confirming that your opposition is entirely due to their speech, which regardless of its content is protected by the First amendment, as you well know. Nazis marched in Skokie, Illinois and participated in the hateful protests in Charlotte, yet regardless of how reprehensible we find their speech, it is protected by the Constitution. Siding with Trump over the constitution is nothing to feel proud of. I also find interesting that those who would see Palestinians deported can't find a word of condemnation about Musk's Holocaust denial.
