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.
