    Default Number of U.S./G.O.P. hate groups hits ALL-TIME high

    Source: Reuters

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The number of hate groups operating in the United States rose 7 percent to an all-time high in 2018, reflecting an increasingly divisive debate on immigration and demographic change, the Southern Poverty Law Center said on Wednesday.

    The SPLC, which has tracked hate groups since 1971, found there were 1,020 operating in the United States last year, breaking the 1,018 record set in 2011. It marked the fourth consecutive year of growth.

    The group’s annual report on hate activities blamed the rise in part on Republican President Donald Trump, whose administration has focused on reducing illegal and legal immigration into the United States.

    “The numbers tell a striking story – that this president is not simply a polarizing figure but a radicalizing one,” said Heidi Beirich, director of the SPLC’s Intelligence Project, which released the new numbers. “Rather than trying to tamp down hate, as presidents of both parties have done, President Trump elevates it – with both his rhetoric and his policies.”

    It's because of Trump and Conservatism.
    When I die, turn me into a brick and use me to cave in the skull of a fascist

    What’s even more funny is TTQ64 calls the SPLC a bunch of racist white men (because they labeled Farrakhan and the NOI a hate group).

    Last 4 years. Two with Trump and his haters in charge and another where he ran on hate and bigotry. So 3 out of 4 belong to Daffy and the rightys.

    Isn't the SPLC discredited?

    Racist white men labeled Farrakhan and the NOI a hate group.

    They always falsely claim people are just as racist, hateful and corrupt as they are.

    Let's keep this real.

    White people are just now acknowledging the hate groups from the racist right.

    Blacks have felt their wrath for decades.

    haha Trump did it. He uses "rhetoric", no different than a sorcerer would use magical spells, to control the thoughts, movements and decisions of thousands of people.

    The SPLC is a joke who engages in magical thinking to dupe its credulous benefactors into sending them money.
    The anti-Trumper's new mantra:

    “B-b-but muh White supremacy”

    That is a really good point. When people had to actually face each other they tended to keep thoughts to themselves. Anonymity has seemed to increase the "bravado" of people. To make that worse, they had nothing intelligent to say in public so they kept quiet. That protection is gone also.

    You can thank the people you support. They brought Anonymity to the forefront with their white hoods and robes.

    Like I said, all evil starts with white men.
