In the end, the KKK did not choose to support Donald Trump because he was a Republican but because they agreed with the ideas that he (and other far-right Republicans) spout. It is finally time to face the rise in the twenty-first century of a new form of white nationalism and its alignment with many leaders of the Republican Party, including Trump.

    Considering how the Democratic party panders to and demands special treatment for anyone who isn’t cis and white, thus implying all others are inferior, I’m not sure the racism ever left.

    Let’s not forget “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, you ain’t black!”

      Equal rights ≠ special treatment

      Protection against violence and discrimination ≠ pandering

      Thinking that the fair and dignified treatment of minority groups is mistreatment of the ones who still have the vast majority of the wealth, power and opportunities to prosper = bigotry and false victimhood
