What's the context for the Nazis in the northwest?

There are a lot of right-wing militias there. Oregon was basically settled for racist white people. Outside the major cities, the Pacific NW has a lot of fascists.

Oregon is unique in that early on they were anti-slavery because they were so racist that they didn't want black people in the state even as slaves.

Idaho is also being taken over by gun nuts and crazy right wing fascists.
