There aren't any. The legion of SJWs and progressive use of government bans are totally made-up things.
Propaganda has been very strong the last few years, and people feel like defending racism is actually some sort of legitimate fight because they actually believe that things like Antifa, Social-Justice-Warriors, and government bans initiated by progressives are real organized things. They are invented ideas and tools used by propagandists to keep people divided and working against the interests of other Americans.

That way you can prevent your political base from scrutinizing or criticizing your untenable positions by painting the losing battles (such as "selling racist caricatures is a crucial tradition and doing it no longer is cowering before a leftist mob") as vital fronts in the "culture war". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Bolshevism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Bolshevism
