i think it's been a long time coming. there have always been crazy neo-nazis, but the new things is that their sympathizers and non-denouncers have been increasing. completely non-racist people get blamed and called racist for completely normal behaviour, don't get jobs or positions because they're saved for people of a different race, etc. just enough people who feel they're punished just for being white, not many at all, but enough that the real white supremacists feel they're support or at least that even if they're not supported, fewer people are against them, and they are emboldened.
short version: the left have been just fascist enough to push everyone not on the far left ever so slightly to the right.
