The problem you should be thinking about is, why have they been gaining ground in the past 10+ years? What is the root cause?

Its all about power shift. We've seen these creatures before in Greece and Rome, Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, fascist Italy and former Yugoslavia. This is exactly what happened to old societies and its happening to us now.

As for the U.S, racist, violent and despotic forces have always been a part of the American landscape. Throughout American history, we've seen such people tolerated and even empowered by the state to persecute. What we are witnessing and the reason this mould is growing is because of the recent power shift. When democratic institutions cease to function, when the consent of the government becomes a joke, despots fill the political void.
