Well if you're not a person of color, Jewish or other "minority" I guess you don't have anything to fear. I don't watch much news because it's depressing but I see enough and read enough to know that these events are happening. Not everybody is armed. While I like your theory about the like minded people rising up against threats to our freedoms, I believe you put on your rose colored glasses.You listen to the news to often.
I agree these groups exist and they are evil in every way and dangerous. But, their numbers are small and unlike any other country our population is armed! These crazies understand there is no way they can disarm millions of people who would openly stand against them. The " like-minded" American population who will come together and fight against anyone who dares to stand up against our freedom...I don't fear them at all.
Some good folks are oblivious to certain things that are going on. Why wouldn't they be...it doesn't affect them and perhaps they are wearing rose colored glasses too.
Homeland Security considers White Supremacist groups to be one of the biggest threats we face in this country, so obviously there are enough of them to cause major concern.

Homeland Security report finds White supremacy ‘the most consistent and lethal threat’
Several years ago they were openly recruiting in the beach town of Wildwood, N.J. though. I've heard and read about their literature being found left on porches of residents in some nice quiet neighborhoods. Residents were appalled but what could they do about it?
FYI I don't watch either of the above news channels. I watch World News Tonight which is all of 20 minutes and sometimes I don't watch the entire report. I also read news stories from several different news apps on my tablet.
