1. 75 years after the fall of the Nazis, they are more popular than ever, with almost half of the US

supporting them.

How did the Nazis become so popular?

3. I don't know, but "The election of Donald Trump to the White House has been cited

...as a factor in the re-energisation of activists and groups in America that reject both left-wing ideology and mainstream conservatism.

Social media is also said to be playing a large part in promoting these ideologies.

A prominent US civil rights group, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) says that it is currently tracking more than 1,600 extremist groups in the country.

But who are these groups, how popular have they become, and what do they hope to achieve?

2. Hateful certainly

But , if we respect free speech then they must be allowed to exercise their right to demean and diminish themselves as they will.

4. Just my opinion

but trump supports these militias (because they support his agenda of hate of division) he probably wants more of them.

5. As their numbers grow, Trump feels loved.

A mutual admiration society.

6. this is a very dangerous precedent.

what's this his own militia to go after those who do not support the dictator. Are the left leaning Democrats, and liberals and every other diverse ethic group going to be targeted by these sick people?

...The Scouts, who Trump addressed as "young patriots," erupted in cheers of "USA! USA!" as the president brought up familiar talking points from his campaign and his first six months in office. He spoke about his effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act, the war on political correctness ("Under the Trump administration, you will be saying, 'Merry Christmas again'&quot , and interrupted his own recitation of the Scout's Law to bring up his well-documented need for loyalty from his administration: "As the Scout Law says: 'A Scout is trustworthy, loyal'...we could use some more loyalty, I will tell you that."
