There would be coverage of a KKK march through some town, for example, but it was always kind of a man-bites-dog kind of story. There'd be like 20 KKK'ers marching and hundreds of anit-KKK people on either side of the road. They were viewed as fringy.


Do you see in the news that these days KKK type orgs are marching around frequently and without massive opposition?

The last thing I can think of like that was Charlottesville 2017. That went pretty badly for the racists and AFAIK they failed to stage any meaningful follow-up.


These things usually happened in small towns in the midwest or south back then, not in places like DC or other large cities as often happens now.


Maybe I don't consume enough or the right news but I just haven't heard about these events. I googled "white supremacist rallies" and the first result other than Charlottesville was this https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/white-supremacist-grou...

Some white supremacists tried to join an anti-abortion demonstration earlier this year and they got booed out.
