The number of white nationalist, neo-Nazi and anti-government extremist groups across the U.S. fell for a third straight year in 2021, even as some groups were reinvigorated by the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol last year and by the ongoing culture wars over the pandemic and school curriculums.
The Montgomery, Alabama-based law center cited several examples including Fox News’ Tucker Carlson, whose discussion of a conspiracy likening immigration from nonwhite countries to a “great replacement” of white Americans last September was welcomed by white nationalists who were linked to the “Stop the Steal” rally that preceded the Jan. 6 Capitol attack. The law center counted 98 active white nationalist groups in 2021.
Beyond the Capitol attack, the law center’s report details how several factions of the far right movement have been reinvigorated by political wedge issues. Issues fueling active hate and anti-government extremist groups include the banning of critical race theory and books that discuss LGBTQ identity in public schools, coronavirus vaccine and mask mandates, and immigration.
“This movement is working feverishly to undermine democracy, but what’s more startling is that they are also coalescing around a willingness to engage in violence,” Corke said.
Slowing any push toward authoritarianism, according to the SPLC, requires elected leaders to universally embrace democratic institutions, while also protecting the right to vote for communities of color and other marginalized people. The law center has also called for better funding of prevention programs that interrupt the radicalization of young people by hate and anti-government groups.

“The Montgomery, Alabama-based law center”
The Montgomery, Alabama-based racist law center
There fixed it
More anti-white BS
Once the next conservative gets elected, they’ll go up according to the splc
I’m telling you, white people are my biggest fear. Whether it’s walking down a white neighborhood like say McKinney Texas or standing near the subway in Brooklyn, or even a leisurely walk through South Central Los Angeles......the fear of a crazy white guy or group of white people attacking me, beating me, robbing me, killing me.....it’s just there all the time.
Something has to be done about these violent white people. They are everywhere!
If there was ever an arch-hive of racism and faggotry, it would be the SPLC. That half-billion dollar off shore slush fund they have should be confiscated. Every hit of it.
Left antifa out as a hate group...
They have called the Singing Nuns a hate group. Who knew?
Your post gave me a calculus flash back.
Yep....support for BLM has dropped dramatically
Here’s a good rule... if the SPLC says something, assume the opposite is true.
I actually agree with this.
When the left calls everyone who disagrees with them racists, sexist what ever ists, it pushes people to say “Well, if I am already suffering under that label, I might as well BE that label!”
The constant canceling and pressure has removed a lot of stigma from being called names.
"Your desire for truth and liberty is dangerous, so we label it terror and tyranny. Our desire to control everything in your life, what you put in your body, what you think is democracy."
I’ve always said you couldn’t fill a football stadium with all of the dedicated white supremacists in the U.S.
AP and SPLC, now there’s two hate groups for ya.
In other words: anybody who votes GOP is a white supremacist. I can’t help but notice the Democrat demagoguery is nearly identical to the gaslighting Ukraine faces: “They’re nazis”, blah, blah, blah. Birds of a feather flock together, apparently.
