To repeat what I pointed out to MH earlier, there used to be 4 million members of the KKK in America. Now there are 5000-8000. There are a half dozen Nazi groups, the largest of which has about 400 members.
You keep pointing to the size of each of the individual right-wing extremest groups, but you seem to ignore the fact that while an individual group may be small, the overall number of groups themselves is significant. Plus, you also have people who may share the same ideology as various racist organizations but just haven't adopted a membership.

It should also be pointed out that, for the past decade (ending in 2016), right wing extremists accounted for 74% of all murders by extremists. On the other hand, Islamic terrorists accounted for 24% Left wing extremists accounted for ~2%. So, which group do you think demands the most attention?
