The SPLC insisted that hate did not decrease in 2020, even though the number of “hate groups” supposedly did. “In 2015, the numbers jumped from 784 to 892, and they have remained well above 800 for the duration of the Trump presidency.” “Though numbers have dropped 11% overall, we are still recording historic highs,” the organization claimed. The SPLC claimed to identify 838 active hate groups in 2020.
