Back in the comparatively halcyon days of 2008, racists would say or post violent, racist things about the Democratic presidential nominee and his supporters, and then the Republican Party, the Democratic Party, and the vast majority of the media would notice and say "That's racist!" and it ended there.

But then came the year of the ascendency of Donald Trump, who has promised to end the tyranny of "political correctness" and emboldened the sort of people who think the Holocaust didn't kill quite enough Jews and that not enough African Americans were lynched after the Civil War to warrant taking down their Confederate flags ... and that there's something suspicious about how many minorities are voting.

In preparation for the vote, six short days away, the alt-right and white supremacists have vowed to join Trump supporters (and even Trump advisors, like Nixon's grand duke of rat-fucking, Roger Stone) in "protecting" our great republic by intimidating the people trying to vote in it, according to Politico . (The Trump campaign, meanwhile, is taking a more quaint, passive-aggressive approach by trying to convince minorities to self-suppress their votes via targeted advertising pushing the idea that voting isn't really worth it.)

"Donald Trump has told his supporters for weeks that they are at risk of being robbed by the elites," explained Mark Potok, who has the unenviable job of tracking hate groups for the Southern Poverty Law Center. "Trump has taken the lid off Pandora's box and some of those demons of racism and bigotry will be hard to get back in" he added.

With so many groups emerging from the woodwork with not-so-secret missions to stop minorities from voting, it's hard to tell your Oath Keepers from your National Socialists. To help you keep track, here's a guide to each group and their chances of pulling off their half-baked operations.

Who: The Daily Stormer

Which is: One of the nation's most prominent white supremacist/neo-Nazi websites, run by Andrew Anglin, a shaved-headed Ohio millennial who once had to defend his own racial heritage to Neo-Nazis more conservative than he is.

The plan: Roaming gangs of neo-Nazis handing out weed and 40s in heavily minority communities as distractions from voting. No, really, that's their plan. Plus poll watchers, possibly in coordination with an anonymous website that swears it has secretly installed hidden cameras in school cafeterias (which is totally illegal) to capture fraudulent voters in the act.

Possible pitfalls: It's not clear how handing out weed and 40s like it's grown-up Halloween will actually suppress votes—but it is illegal: even if it's less than 30 grams and there's no exchange of money, in Pennsylvania it's still a misdemeanor that comes with a fine .

Fear factor: "The Daily Stormer is mostly Andrew Angelin, his dog, and his computer," says Potok. While Angelin's readership is relatively high for the white supremacist internet, his ability to convince his readers to show their faces in public has been unimpressive.

Who: The Oath Keepers

Which is: A militia-type organization comprised of current and former law enforcement and military members affiliated with the anti-government patriot movement.

The plan: Election Day poll patrols, though Potok notes they've instructed their members to "Bring video cameras, bring still cameras, but don't cause a scene and don't go armed."

Possible pitfalls: Their membership claims are likely exaggerated, so it's not clear how many people will show up.

Fear factor: If some members don't heed the "don't go armed" instructions, it doesn't take many people with guns to do something scary. Handfuls of Oath Keepers have showed up armed in various places over the last few years, most notably in Ferguson, Missouri during the 2014 protests after Michael Brown's death.

Who: National Socialists

Which is: Yup, as in Nazis.

The plan: Get-out-the-vote efforts and informal poll watchers.

Possible pitfalls: Even in the age of Trump, there aren't too many American Nazis. They are expecting 75 people to show up for a rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

Fear factor: "I very much doubt it's going to be anything large," said Potok.

Who: American Freedom Party

Which is: A white supremacist political party founded by a L.A. attorney who, among other things, would like to amend the Constitution so that only white people can vote.

The plan: To monitor the polls with the Trump campaign.

Possible pitfalls: The party's vice presidential candidate resigned earlier this year when he felt the group was too focused on working for Trump rather pushing its own ticket.
