Would you say the KKK was liberal or conservative?

A third category that doesn't fit either.

Reactionary.

KKK wasn't Leftist either, though they used Antifa style tactics, but so do all thug movements in history.

Oh, sure, the triangular political compass of liberal, conservative and reactionary.

No, not some fancy overthought grid.

Just an actual description that comes closest to describing what they were about. With the Civil War having just been fought and all that behind ---- reactionary is one of the better words - along with bigoted imbecilic - that comes close to describing such response.

Ok but where in the spectrum between liberal and conservative world you put the KKK of the 20th century?

Since they're presumably no longer reacting to the war or reconstruction.

Democrat.

Dems were naming things after Robert "Sheets" Byrd in the recent past. Own it.

The KKK wanted to kill black babies, and black adults. They wanted to hinder the black race and treated them as inferior. These are 100% liberal traits that embody the Democrat party.

Margret Sanger's agenda and placement regarding centers factors into that too.

As to the answer about the KKK in the 20th C that is easy -- once an organization like that is founded, if it is not disbanded and broken up, the momentum of the old grievances just carries on. They are never questioned or updated by some kind of critical re-examination. You have no further to look than the race-pimps from the 60's continuing to act like Civil Rights was never passed and make buckos off it. Look at the Weatherman continuity under a new name. Radical groups don't go away unless removed.

In addition, the KKK and their allies in government restricted and destroyed the freedoms of American citizens who they collectively viewed as their enemies. One side of the political aisle has a lifelong record of doing this from slavery, to Jim Crow, to internment camps of American citizens, and onward to our current situation. One side of the aisle loves to use the power of government to control, and punish its enemies. The other side wants government to leave everyone the hell alone. Pretty easy to see which is the left and which is the right.

KKK talks a good racism game, but the Democrat policies have led to about 15 million black abortions in just the last 20 years.

KKK could only dream of killing black people that proficiently

Yeah I know they were Democrats.

But were they conservative or liberal? I'll hang up and listen.

Neither. They wouldn't fall under either.

The less racist the south became, the more republicans were voted into office.

D'nesh D.

Question is unclear, but since you hung up I'll answer both:

Democrats were not considered conservative per Wikipedia:

Quote:

In the early 20th century, it supported progressive reforms and opposed imperialism. Since Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New Deal coalition in the 1930s, the Democratic Party has promoted a social liberal platform.

---

The KKK was neither. If you're looking for a bucket, other than racist, to put them in....maybe nationalist?

How about Rap videos?

The KKK could only dream of producing such racist, stereotypically demeaning films about blacks, and having black people pay for them.

And now for my next impression...Jesse Owens

No one will ever harm black people as much as black people do.

Same can honestly be said about women and what holds them back in corporate America.




Hmmm, perhaps the whole of what these people call "white male privilege" is that we generally don't just unnecessarily fk each other over to get ahead.

You may really be onto something there. Especially the comparison to women. Its well known and notorious that they tend to undermine one another.

I'm sorry, but thats all a bunch of nonsense, at least in 2020. The KKK has no real political connections or power anywhere in the country. They are a hangover from the past. Attempts to tie them to a major political party are silly and give them legitimacy.

The KKK activity/influence started to fade in the Late 1960's with integration. Over the last 55 years or so, most all the people that were involved with this group have either died off or gotten so old that they gave up the ghost of the KKK. The south was predominantly democrat during this period as was the KKK. Then along came jimmy carter who was so pitiful that Reagan was able to flip the south from democrat to republican.

You know jimmy carter may well be in better mental condition than joe Biden is now.
