-Besides the handful of bored-looking rally attendees trapped in the gazebo, 99.99% of protesters were from the far left. Though I searched hard, there was not a single identifiable Nazi or white supremacist anywhere within sight for the entire four hours, despite thousands of signs excoriating them. I actually overheard a few leftists talking of their disappointment with the lack of enemies.
-Except for (presumably) cops and people traveling incognito like me, I only saw 2-4 Trump supporters, all fairly early in the day. I passed one chap in a MAGA hat and GOP t-shirt, to whom I gave a hat-tip and who quietly reciprocated with a nod. I saw two guys with an anti-Nazi & anti-Antifa sign that said nothing specific about President Trump. I chatted for a bit with a 19-year-old whose sign said “F*** Nazis, F*** Antifa, Donald Trump 2020“, hanging around at a quiet end of the common away from the commotion. He had apparently been surrounded by hundreds of angry protesters and rescued from the crowd by a team of cops, and wasn’t sure what to do with himself, so I advised him to steer clear of the big crowds and stick to the outskirts.
-One Antifa group appeared to be chanting old 1920s Communist slogans in Italian, which I understand is bizarrely common.

It borders on amusing.
Tens of thousands of people take up half their day to counter protest some Nazis and not a Nazi in sight lol. Of course maybe they weren't too bright and/or misinformed but it was a *free speech* rally that was only rumored to be put on by white supremacists.
As a Trump supporter I would have been 'free' to speak, I suppose. But I like my face the way it is.
