Part 2/9:
According to observations, the SPLC's hate map includes a range of groups, from well-known white supremacist organizations like the Ku Klux Klan and the Aryan Nations to smaller, largely defunct chapters of these groups. The map also features conservative Christian nonprofits, many of which are mainstream organizations advocating for traditional values. Moreover, the SPLC appears to conflate or associate these groups and organizations with overt hate groups, implying a connection or similarity where none may genuinely exist.
