Vanguard America was not established, it is a new group. As for the others, if there are no distinctions between them, then why did you mention Klan and NSM separately? The fact is that there are a number of different types of white supremacists and distinctions matter.
Perhaps the era of rallies is over, but as far as I am concerned they all organized together in Charlottesville, and so the violence that happened belongs to all of them. So setting our window to the past year, I see no distinction.

They will all soon be indicted. They'll all go down together.

White supremacists of different types often rally together, just as people from different segments of the far left often rally together--doesn't mean that there are no meaningful distinctions among either. When needed, white supremacists can be grouped as white supremacists.

So maybe the alt right is like the tiget cubs of neo nazis, getting misguided and ignorant people an introduction to hate and Nazism? I've read that prior to 9/11 white supremacists were the biggedt threat to American democracy.

I personally think biggest threat to American democracy actually comes from people who want to weaken and de-legitimize all the institutions & norms on which our democracy is based and depends. This past year has me worried the foundation may be more fragile than I used to think.

And I do appreciate your expertise on these matters. Not many opportunities to converse with someone of your caliber, thanks for your time.
