The klan has become intersectional.
It’s like if the Klan decided to let black people, Catholics and Jews join so that they could get together and do terrorism against the new scapegoats: queer people, leftists, and refugees.
This is my impression of the current state of US right wing politics.
Had to travel to US for work a couple years back and accidentally tuned into a right wing radio show while driving. It was too good to stop listening.
There was some local election going on. The hosts and some guest commentator were openly calling for people to vote for an Asian immigrant candidate running on a conservative/“anti-woke” platform against a woke leftist (read: white liberal Democrat).
“This man is a true American patriot I can get behind! He’s more American than the woke leftists who hate our country!”
Then the conversation pivoted to some news that Biden was ramping up tension against China. They all laughed it off: “Starting a war with China? Are they serious? We’re gonna get our asses beaten by the Chinese easily! Do you think our woke military can defeat China? Obama’s been allowing transgender ideology to be taught in the army for years! Our military is no longer the fighting force it used to be! It’s all about wokeness and transgenderism these days!”
The American right is obsessed with “wokeness” these days. It’s so bizarre and entertaining at the same time.
20 years ago it was “political correctness”
They’re eternally seething that they can’t say slurs in public anymore
It’s funny because the origins of political correctness (PC) go way the fuck back to the 1930s as a reference to Nazis, but the modern usage of it was born out of leftists saying it ironically about themselves as far back as the 1970s and then finally in the late 80s and into the 90s the rightwingers picked it up as an insult or whatever
The klan is still anti non-white organization. There are many factions of the american right, and klan just belong to the more explicitly white supremacist ones. The general right wing cares very much diversity despite complaining about it. They have so many minority based organizations and make a big stink about X ethnicity voters and how they love Trump and are tired of dems.
I know. I was mainly making commentary on how some from those groups who were historically marginalized by the old WASP groups now make common cause to attack new groups of vulnerable people.
My fear with the American right is them discovering the types of fascism that aren’t as strictly/ explicitly racialist (Italian, Spanish, Portuguese), and adapting strategies for having a cultural “other” to persecute, rather than a racial one. That way they can broaden their appeal to a diversifying American electorate and more easily win power.
Well, good thing they’re monolingual and hate foreign things.
“Wh… What would you call a political organization like that?”
“The Republicans!”
My fear is they actually get a critical mass of minorities, especially young angry men on their side by blaming queer people and migrants for everything (including why they can’t get a girlfriend). It would be a realization of something the Republicans have been trying to accomplish over the last quarter century.
