I think both answers are correct, but the question is asking if there is that element in there and the answer is yes.

Having said that, the Republican party has not really been about fiscal responsibility in this millennium.

If there's a party that is obsessed with racism and race baits, it's the Democratic party. They're always race conscious.

That's pretty telling. Democrats only pretend to care about minorities so they can get their vote every 2/4 years.

If you would have asked me like two years ago I would have said no.

That has since changed though. Donald Trump would not be president without the unanimous support of racists and xenophobes. Trump has done nothing to quiet these people, and if anything has emboldened them.

Everyone cares about race. The difference is democrats want to do something about what they perceive to be racial inequality whereas republicans simply think racism doesn't exist anymore or exists equally "on all sides".

This comes down to whether we're talking about democrats as the DNC or democrats as people who identify as democrats. I was talking about the latter.

I think a general dislike of other groups is the glue between "bomb, bomb Iran," "cut welfare," and "build the wall." Nobody outside of DC gives a shit about Marco Rubio's "small government, as the founders intended" shtick.

Their are many other white nationalist/white supremacists groups in this country other than the neo-nazis.

In truth, most Americans are likely racist to some degree as other ethnicities have their own racists groups as well.

The bottom line is saying there is less than 65 million racists in this country is nothing short of lunacy.

Saying everyone who voted Republican is racist is like saying every white person that lives in an upper class neighborhood in the south is racist. The Democratic party leftist extremists are is just as guilty of racism as radical right-wingers, but we have come to a point where racism against white people is somehow OK now. None of it is OK.

That's a possibility, but what he was saying is that there are more than 10,000, which is a reality.

10,000 was my number for neo nazis.

Racists as a whole...a lot higher. And then...really, it goes up a lot higher. Everyone is a little prejudiced ...so, that's a hard number to figure out.

Like, are they racist to the point where they would use violence?
Are they racist to the point where they believe someone of another race isn't as intelligent?
Are they racist to the point where they believe they are a master race?
Are they racist to the point where they are vocal about it?
Are they only racist inwardly, and don't show it?

I mean...this is a hard number to figure out.

That didn't answer my question. Neo Nazi is clearly used to also mean white supremacist. Saying that there's only 10000 people in one group is just putting an answer that's meant to downplay the actual number, much like your response.

There are probably like 50 million white supremacists in the country, maybe more. In a country of 223 million white people I don't think it's unreasonable to say a healthy number of them still have racist views passed down from pre-Civil Rights Movement. There were a hundred million whites in the 1960s who didn't feel amazing towards black people and wanted them to have separate schools and drinking fountains, all those people didn't just vanish, they just became quieter about their beliefs.
