I think people need to realize how these ideologies spread. It (at this stage) isn't through mass media. Most people who fall into this level of toxic racism are convinced through people they personally know. It's really easy to convince people that white supremacy is the way; and one of the biggest tools of racist groups is being able to spread the idea that 'most people secretly believe in this, but they're being PC.'

Fighting back until they are covered in the news for weeks and forcing right-leaning government officials to make explicit statements against their beliefs makes that statement harder to spread. It brings forward a national discussion where condemnation of white supremacy becomes clear. Many people teetering on the edge will hopefully see the responses that wouldn't be there without the protests. They would likely still hold their racist beliefs, but it's falling into the belief that 'this is what the nation really wants' that escalates many people into joining these groups. Like most people, they believe what they're doing is the right thing.
