In the two weeks since the gun massacre in El Paso, Texas, federal and local authorities have thwarted four additional threats they said could have resulted in mass attacks. All four of the alleged plotters—in Nevada, Connecticut, Florida, and Ohio—were heavily armed young white men. [size=4]At least three of the four appear to have harbored hateful far-right views, especially toward Jewish, African American, and LGBTQ people. -snip

On August 9, federal prosecutors charged Conor Climo, a 23-year-old Las Vegas man, for allegedly planning to attack a local synagogue and a bar he believed to be popular with LGBTQ people. Climo reportedly admitted during questioning by the FBI that he belonged to a neo-Nazi group; law enforcement agents seized weapons from his home including bomb-making materials and an unregistered AR-15 semiautomatic rifle. -snip
The answer to your question is: when we have an actual problem with white supremacists

When will anti-Trumpers grow up, admit their side lost the election fair and square, and that they've been severely brainwashed by left-wing media?

Exactly. The real racism is coming from the left. When will lefties admit they have a real problem with anti-semitism?

They can't stand that they lost in 2016 and they especially hate that they played a part in Trump winning.

Well, to be fair. we do have a small problem with real white supremacists. problem is, certain people call everyone that disagrees with them a "white supremacist or Nazi".
Edit: Basically, the real problem is a 3. while certain people want you to believe it's over 9,000

^Expected deflections from KMC's Trumper squad aside.
Three planned White Supremacist attacks in one month, with a fourth likely linked to The Far-Right/White Supremacist view:
1) On August 9, federal prosecutors charged Conor Climo, a 23-year-old Las Vegas man, for allegedly planning to attack a local synagogue and a bar he believed to be popular with LGBTQ people. Climo reportedly admitted during questioning by the FBI that he belonged to a neo-Nazi group; law enforcement agents seized weapons from his home including bomb-making materials and an unregistered AR-15 semiautomatic rifle.
2) On August 15, the FBI and police in Connecticut arrested 22-year-old Brandon Wagshol, acting on social media content in which he allegedly expressed interest in committing a mass shooting. Law enforcement seized firearms, ammunition, body armor and other tactical gear from his home and charged him with illegally possessing high-capacity magazines. According to reporting from Talking Points Memo, social media accounts apparently belonging to Wagshol included posts where he embraced Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric and expressed hatred of minority groups: “I support transgenders’ rights to be some of the first in the gas chambers,” one tweet said.
3) n August 17, 20-year-old James P. Reardon was arrested in Ohio, for allegedly targeting a synagogue. Reardon reportedly posted a video of himself firing a gun, with the sound of sirens and screams in the background; the video was tagged with the location of the Jewish Community Center of Youngstown and a caption reading: “Police identified the Youngstown Jewish Family Community shooter as local white nationalist Seamus O’Rearedon”—an apparent variation on Reardon’s name. He had a stockpile of firearms, according to authorities, and a history of identifying as a white supremacist, including attending the infamous Unite the Right rally that turned deadly two years ago in Charlottesville, Virginia.
4) In a fourth case, the arrest on August 16 in Florida of 25-year-old Tristan S. Wix, there appears to be no public evidence to date linking the suspect to far-right views. But according to local authorities, Wix expressed suicidal thoughts in a text message to a girlfriend and spoke about his desire to carry out a mass shooting on a public crowd. “A good 100 kills would be nice,” he said in one message, and stated in another that he wanted his attack to “break a world record.” Police found a hunting rifle and 400 rounds of ammunition in his apartment.
You're correct, in a country of over 330 million people they killed 50 last year. Definitely a small problem.
The issue, other than certain people being unable to properly define white supremacists, is that those same people want us to act like white supremacy is a yuge problem.

Yep, lefties like robbie love to blow everything out of proportion when it suits their side but downplay their own problems-- like anti-semitism, for example. He just casually brushes that off as if it's no big deal.
"Yeah, but criticizing Israel isn't being anti-jewish her derp."

Gang violence takes far more lives than white supremacists.

Very true. I feel bad for you living so close to such a dangerous area, Surt.

FunFact: Gang violence being a problem has been an accepted fact for decades. It's not uncommon for major cities with gang problems to have police resources set specifically to combat gangs and gang violence. eg Community Law Enforcement Area Recovery (C.L.E.A.R.)
Is this a problem that should have dedicated resources?
No idea on the statistics, but I'd assume law enforcement responses would be partisan blind, and mobilize against a growing trend of violence.
