I wonder how much affect these radical groups really have on elections. It seems that they exist to make sure that if you agree with their positions one day that you will continue to agree the next day. In other words they mainly speak to the choir.
I would further assume that there are plenty of right wing groups to completly counter whatever effect these radical groups may have.

Involvement of these groups in elections is one of the least significant of their activities.

In my opinion, they are much more pernicious in providing millions of dollars of funding to organizations around the world that advocate for goals and objectives that are diametrically opposed to American values and policies.

Those on the right are not funded at nearly the same levels as these organizations on the left. It is also extremely difficult for conservative groups to gain foundation funding. Then there is the pittance that conservative groups receive in government contracts compared to government funding to liberal organizations. It's not difficult to compare annual budgets of "mirrored" groups on any given issue.
