Rather worryingly they are using their "birthday" to announce that in their view finally American politics are moving in their direction. Can politics in America - and elsewhere - become even more polarised ?

If they become prominent i bet i can guess the new Daz adverts :-D
The kkk are a funny bunch, they hate everyone, espesh me as a godless Englishman. If i am honest i thought that "movement?" had pretty much died off because it was/is just daft.
Edit: i do know/knew a chap in Texas though who was kinda sympathetic to their ideals. It is that of the little englander really. The irony was he had no real understanding he should not like me so much however i was English, spoke posh = the queen to him, he bloody loved me.
Thinking the day over around him i found him a nice man who was very susceptible to right wing propaganda, still a nice man in his self, strange family really.
He was not full on pillow wearer but a texan flag god fearing type...loved his old trucks though, has a mint collection.

There's no Klan to speak of anymore. Maybe a few hundred spread out over some states but it is essentially dead.

Okay. I underestimated. Compared to 1.5-4 million in the early 20th century when the population of the USA was significantly smaller, that is almost nothing. There is no Klan anymore besides the bogeyman of the past used by some.
