I suppose it's important to remember that the Nazi ideology existed in small niche pockets long before those Nazis found their way into power in Germany. They didn't spring up out of the ground. Just because the current groups with white supremacist / Nazi ideologies don't currently have power, doesn't mean that they should be disregarded or ignored as a threat.
