Is the KKK even a thing anymore ?

Zomg ,

Yeah, plenty are also a part of MAGA

He'd be right if this was the year 1870. I checked my calendar and it's not.

The wack part of this is that he said it in a closed door meeting with a few of his peers or staff, not to a crowd of people. That shows he actually believes this bullshit.

Believe might be a strong word. He probably just says things like this to drown out the suffocated, croaking voice of his conscience

What is happening now is we’re importing people into the country that want to be in America … but have no interest in being Americans, and that’s very different and to disparage the comments is to chill the conversation so that we can continue to bring in more people that we never met that are un-American,” Perry said, according to the recording.

TBH, a lot of migrants to the west do not share my progressive, secular values and that bothers me a bit. It's also forbidden to speak of on the left. To be intolerant of misogynist and homophobic religious nutters from elsewhere is racism of course. Obviously it's not a conspiracy, just economics driving people to where the money is, but can we not admit that it has an effect on the culture?

To write off the "other" as "misogynist and homophobic religious nutters" is about as white supremacist as it gets here in the dear ole' west - it doesn't surprise me that leftists aren't interested in what you have to say.

...Who does he think is joining the current incarnations of the KKK? Does he really think that the people in the current KKK are Democratic voters? Really?

See what happens when we allow unrestricted freedom of speech?

Our "freedoms" aren't as freeing as people think they are. I realize how dangerous that sounds, but I mean, here we are on the cusp of fascism because we allowed these horrible people to say whatever they wanted to the point where people started believing them. There has to be a standard that we hold speech up to.

They keep saying shit like this but not one of them will wear a Hillary t-shirt to a Klan rally and livestream the results

Bring your Obama merch boys, we're on our way to the Dem Klan Rally

He's saying Democrats are the KKK while promoting replacement theory, a belief of the KKK

Is this 🫱🦋 cancel culture?

SkyezOpen ,

Can we cancel any parties that currently advocate for slavery as well?

Only if you've got a majority in the Florida legislature and a friendly court.

That's a lot of boxes ticked, USA. The elections may not be fraudulent, but they sure aren't fair, either.

tiefling ,

Oh don't worry, depending on what happens in November they'll make sure to tick that box too

someguy3 ,

Trying to sort through the projection, is this why they're so afraid of Antifa? Because the GOP has a military wing with the KKK, they assume the Dems want to create a military group with Antifa or something? Certainly explains how they try to portray Antifa.

JeeBaiChow ,

So why are they mostly republicans?

Potatos_are_not_friends , (edited )

Then why are they marching and getting cheers at GOP conferences? Are they stupid?

Soulg ,

Their base is stupid, so at best they're lying openly because their base doesn't know any better
