You can tell me that the fascists are dumb rednecks doing things on their own. No, they are financed by the rich as a terrorism squad, to intimidate black people. I always believed that armed self-defense was the way to deal with them. I take my inspiration from the anti-klan militia run by Robert Williams in N.C. during the late 1950's, and the Deacon for Defense and Justice in 1965-67.
