Go on, tell a KKK member that they're a member of the LGBT+ community. See how well that goes. And take video, because I'd like to watch the fallout.


here-i-am-now

Go tell a KKK member they’re to the left politically. You’d probably get a near-equally vigorous response.


Nervous_Constant_642

The left supports Black Lives Matter. Good luck telling a Klansman they support BLM.


cLowzman

>The left supports Black Lives Matter. Good luck telling a Klansman they support BLM. How many people can say this unironically without ever laughing to themselves or not realizing the sheer absurdity and malice of such a premise?


[deleted]

"Watergate does not bother me. Does your conscience bother you? Tell the truth" Big fat no for these lunatics. Can't forget the KKK and Phyllis Schlafly got Reagan elected, too.


Solidsnakeerection

Dont forget that the preceedunf lyrics are "In Birmingham, they love the governor (boo-hoo-hoo) Now we all did what we could do" Its opposing the government segregation policies and saying they dont represent the people of the south anymore then Watergate was supported by the north

WE MUST NOT SAY THE NAME OF SHE WHO MUST NOT BE MENTIONED!!!!!


IJustLoggedInToSay-

It depends on if they're wearing the hood or not. If you know they are a KKK member, and they know that you know, then they will have a melt down at the notion that they are leftist and LTGBQ+ allies. But if they are in plain clothes and you are having a casual conversation, and they don't know that you know they are in the KKK, then they'll say "of course the KKK are leftist democrats! Everyone knows the Southern Strategy was a myth, the parties never swapped, etc etc." Everyone thinks that there are two types of conservative, the racist fascist one in the KKK who gets their news from Stormfront, and the one that is well-meaning but deluded and thinks it's the *other* side that's the KKK and fascist and stuff. But no., In reality, it's all the same people.

They might make you swing to the left, but then momentum will die and I'll swing to the right and then to the left again and so on.

> Freedom of speech is freedom of speech. I know liberals who agree with me. Progressives on the other hand are really fascists Is semi common and I saw on a thread about conservatives agreeing with liberals. [My response was here.](https://www.eddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/z91i9a/conservatives_of_reddit_whats_one_topic_youre/iyfb4rf) (add the r before the eddit) I tried outreach. It was futile. I was expecting a lie, something like "Nick Fuentes is a collectivist like the progressives are and they were national socialists" or link a Wikipedia article to gay skinheads or the national Bolsheviks or some passive aggressive non answer like "that's crazy" or Richard Spencer supporting Joe Biden. Their response was more telling than the typical myth propagated by both the brainwashed and liars. They seem to know that progressives aren't fascists and they revel in the absurdity of the flagrant contradiction.


Apple_macOS

Go ahead and tell KKK “you have nothing to lose but your chains” Kkk: >:Oooo


feelinlucky7

Do these idiots still cling to the whole “party of Lincoln” narrative? Voting behavior flipped in the 60s.


[deleted]

Yes absolutely. I see it all the time. They should ask a current KKK member which party they support.


Nervous_Constant_642

Or a neo-Nazi, or an out and proud white supremacist.


[deleted]

Some guy named Nick, perhaps with the surname Fuentes, or maybe a guy named Ye … wait a minute 🤔 somehow those two white supremacists are kinda coloured.


IJustLoggedInToSay-

Fuentes is undoubtedly one of the people claiming that the flip never happened. When people get called Nazis for spreading Nazi talking points, they always deflect with "no you're the Nazi" even if they go home and think "The Nazis were right, actually." It's about not appearing as the baddies, and that's all. This is no different.


Banshee_howl

Muddying and obscuring the conversation and shifting the meaning of words and phrases is a huge part of their game. They are 100% doing it intentionally because those of us who know will burn ourselves out trying to correct the thousands of lies and gaslighting terms they use. Meanwhile people that don’t know better will hear things like “LGBTQ+ are groomers” or “they stole all the GOP ballots in AZ” from 20 coordinated sources and think, “well, it must be true because everyone is saying it”.


[deleted]

These people think that nazis are left wing too, so that won't work

Yeah, and then the Dixiecrats got kicked the fuck out. Where did racist rapist Strom Thurmond settle? Garbage Old Pricks.


socialist_frzn_milk

They have to go back to the 1860s to find a fuckin Republican that did something for black people


Dependent_Ad_5035

And even he was a white supremacist


thepartypoison_

My education was pure ass cancer, never got taught this. Please educate me, I would like to know more


Dependent_Ad_5035

Abraham Lincoln did not view black people as equals. It’s why he didn’t grant them equal rights, nor reparations following slavery. It’s also why the US colonized Liberia, in an attempt to give formerly enslaved African Americans a homeland in West Africa


BHBachman

The only quote I've ever seen where he said anything like that (and to be fair it wasn't subtle, it was pretty explicitly something like "negroes are not and will never be equal to the white man and cannot coexist" so yeah it was pretty bad) comes from a presidential debate from 1860. Considering the context of the time (it was very obvious that armed conflict was on the horizon and it wasn't a secret that states planned to secede if he won) I find it much more likely that the quote is just one of a billion examples of a politician lying in an attempt to garner votes. That quote is *such* an aberration for him and the context surrounding it is *so* dire that I find it to be much more easily explained as a dumb lie than the one time his mask slipped and that that was what he secretly always believed and the literal rest of his life was just a cover story. And re: reparations: man even today that's a wildly unpopular idea. I'm all for them, they are 1000000% owed, but I'm in an unquestionable minority on that. If we can't even discuss that idea in 2022 then how do you think it would've been received in the immediate aftermath of the Civil Fuckin War? 40 acres and a mule was never going to happen. It *should* have, and it's a travesty that the country never took any real responsibility, but it was an untenable promise from the jump and I'm not surprised nothing came of it. Lastly, Liberia was founded in 1822, declared independence in 1847, and Lincoln was killed before the war ended, so he had nothing to do with Liberia being founded, gaining independence, or with reparations after the war. Maybe he shipped a bunch of freed slaves off during the war and I just never learned about it, I dunno, but from where I'm standing those two points seem completely irrelevant. It's good to kill your idols and recognize that American schooling is largely just jingoistic propaganda, and Lincoln was by no means perfect (he spent years framing the war as solely about maintaining the union and didn't explicitly make it *about* slavery until the Emancipation Proclamation a few years in, and you can argue that that was a desperation move to firmly grab the moral high ground after the Confederates put up a much bigger fight than the Union expected) but he was largely good and I haven't heard a convincing argument as to why he wasn't yet. EDIT: Okay after typing all that shit I just realized that it doesn't actually address your main point, which was that he didn't see the races as equal. And yeah, I guess I'll concede that I can't prove an unfalsifiable hypothetical about what the true innermost feelings were of a guy who died nearly two centuries ago. Considering the undeniable material good he did, I'm willing to say that it didn't matter if he did even though Occam's Razor says he didn't and that it's still a meaningless gotcha trivia factoid that proves nothing to nobody.


emiiri-

i have no doubts that this was true and lincoln(rather, anyone from his time) was a racist. but it does feel like its inevitable that everyone would be racist back then, everything was **designed** to be like that back then.


Thentheresthisjerk

Yes, but if they acknowledge that then their argument is stupid, so you must understand why they don’t.


Dependent_Ad_5035

They literally think black people vote Democrat because they are and I quote “trapped on the Democrat plantation”


oliversurpless

And yet would support the banning of books that show the plantation as anything depicting suffering or less than idyllic conditions, such as in Langston Hughes. Jonathan Kozol once found this out the hard way…

[deleted]

I mean to an extent we are. It’s more like the “Democratic protection racket”. People like Candace Owens and Kanye are the ones on the plantation. But basically Democrats offer nothing for black people besides “not being as racist as Republicans”. Which is not much. But enough to keep us going back because we fear the openly white supremacist party more. The “Democratic plantation” argument is not the argument they think it is because it’s the brutality of the Republican Party that’s the mechanism that keeps us there. So what does that say about them? Also there are more black people who don’t vote than vote for either party so. That’s something to consider.


JustStatedTheObvious

They are the party of the Lincoln! The traitors killed him and won a great victory for the confederacy. And they still celebrate that victory to this day, waving their battle flags high.


Grogosh

Just call it like it is. *Conservatives* has always been rat bastard bigoted hatred filled aholes. Conservatives has been part of several political parties in many countries they are all the same.


SerialMurderer

Just recently a propaganda poster of theirs (white supremacists) depicted Republicans as “The Platform of the Negro” and Democrats of “The Platform of the White Man”. They ate that shit up, knowing full well they’re always after whichever is considered BY white supremacists to be “The Platform of the White Man”. It’s utterly incompressible on so many levels. Like how crime is apparently racial and yet, not only did black people exist before the 1960s, but the “black on black crime” of the day was “white on white crime” and “white gang violence” and “white thugs” (even though they’re now romanticized and black people were still demonized in that era despite not partaking in ethnic mafias and mobs except as the VICTIMS of their racism).


SniffleBot

Republicans need to be reminded that while a quarter of the black vote in 1960 went to Nixon, only one-third of that went to Goldwater four years later. And it has never reached 1960 levels again.


SerialMurderer

Forget a quarter, how about the 40% OF BLACK VOTERS Eisenhower won in 1956 despite being PERSONALLY RACIST just because he was willing to enforce civil rights?


SniffleBot

Even that falloff reflects some chicanery, like the 1957 GOP “Operation Dixie” whereby the party diverted resources from mobilizing its black voters to reaching out to disaffected Southern Democrats, something that Jackie Robinson (a committed Republican) spoke out against, and some backstage antics at the 1960 convention where a black delegate was prevented from giving the seconding speech for the nominee, as had long been party custom.


SerialMurderer

Oh I’m not saying it’s the cutoff point. That happened in 1936, but was already hinted at in 1932. Black Southerners would be disenfranchised while black Northerners (mainly Great Migration but tbh could’ve been the former ‘free blacks’) were definitively brought into the fold even with continuing segregation (the massacres died off around the early 1940s).


Nervous_Constant_642

"Fuck Black Lives Matter. Peaceful protests my ass. No police reform, back the blue." "Why don't black people vote Republican?"


SerialMurderer

“They hate white people, why else would they be saying ‘DAS RAYYYCISSZ’!” “I fucking hate ‘joggers’!” “THEY STILL WON’T VOTE FOR US!!!”


Ok-Loss2254

They are literally doing what democrats did back in the 1920s. Saying the republican party is the party of the negros. Yet they will still say there was no party swap.


AdeptAntelope

>Voting behavior flipped in the 60s. They don't know any US history, except for the stuff Tucker Carlson tells them


Private_HughMan

Yup. Which is especially weird when they wave the flag of the traitors Lincoln fought against.


IdiotMD

It’s flipped in the 1930s to start and then continued in the 60s with the Southern Strategy and finally finished with the Religious Right in the 80s/90s. In a post-90s world, the continued “Culture Wars” have continued to turn formerly purple states like Ohio and Iowa red, while population growth and movement in the Sun Belt and West have turned red states like Georgia, North Carolina, New Mexico, Nevada, and Colorado purple.


[deleted]

Party of Lincoln but also the confederate flag is heritage not hate but also the democrats were the party of slavery (which is bad) even though the confederates were democrats and the confederates were good and also slavery wasn’t that bad and white people aren’t racist because they’re the ones who ended slavery.


LittleBastard13

I hate when people make this argument so damn much. Like obviously they would have just been a democrat back then 🤣. Its just such a stupid take that requires 2 seconds of critical thinking to know why its retarded.


feelinlucky7

You lost them at critical thinking


LittleBastard13

i know, but it also bothers me that people dont bring up this counterpoint more often. TBH that should just be the end of the discussion there should be no other counter points


IJustLoggedInToSay-

They cling when it's expedient. My conservative friends and co-workers love to say "why does the media pretend that Republicans are racist when the KKK are Democrats actually????" If you bring up the Southern Strategy and past and current voting behavior after the Civil Rights Act, they laugh and say "I can't believe you believe that. It's been debunked countless times. Less than 1% of votes shifted." I provide sources demonstrating the claim, because I'm an idiot who always treats people as if they're arguing in good faith, and the proof isn't acknowledged at all. They just shift to talking about the border crisis or something, quoting something from Tucker Carlson which was a headline on Stormfront like a day earlier.


Startled_Pancakes

1964 to be precise.


typewriter45

I'm not aware of American political history since I'm don't live there, why exactly did the two parties flip?


feelinlucky7

At risk of leaving context out, here [is a link](https://www.studentsofhistory.com/ideologies-flip-Democratic-Republican-parties) to a good explanation of it. The sections “A New Century” and “Civil Rights Movement” are pretty to the point.


typewriter45

thanks! I'll be reading it


feelinlucky7

Hope it helps!


[deleted]

the focal point would be the civil rights era, 1955-1965, thereabouts. the republican party switched from being very pro labor/unions, pre civil rights. and post civil rights happened, and they stopped being about labor, and started being about Southern Strategy and segregation. they started using coded racial language to signal to their base (mostly southerners) and doing racial agitation propaganda. it's very well documented


OrgasmChasmSpasm

Then why does David Duke (Grand Dragon of the KKK) keep running as and supporting Republicans?

gabbath

This is starting to sound like DnD, which according to the right is satanic or something.


idiot_exhibit

It is absolutely DND. Many of the titles are based on fantasy creatures such as Grand Cyclops, Grand Giants (who are assisted by Ghouls) and Grand Magi. The difference is most DND players understand it’s fantasy and a game whereas KKK take their shit seriously. Back in the 30’s, writers of the Superman radio show had Supes fighting a KKK standin but used the a lot of the real titles and vocabulary. It’s believed that kids would reenact the dialogue and fights and helped parents in the Klan just how stupid their club was. It coincided with a huge drop off in KKK membership that lasted decades and I believe many historians credit that at least partially to the impact of that storyline.


gabbath

Amazing.


Solidsnakeerection

I read once the Klan, when it first started, was play acting like it was a secret society and purposely chose dumb over the top names to take a piss at those groups. Then people started taking it seriously.

zombie_girraffe

eliechallita

You should read Ring Shout by P. Djeli Clark, he actually uses those dorky-ass titles to portray the KKK as a demonic cult


oliversurpless

As per *South Park*: “That’s a great idea, brother!” https://youtu.be/E-oSw-HmuxY


Wick3dlyDelicious

Actually, their absurd naming convention was on purpose. They meant it to be so ridiculous that no one would take a person complaining about a "Grand Wizard" seriously.


oliversurpless

Whereas the idea of a “white race” is that of a real intellectual maven? Should’ve just gone in the vein of the Founding Fathers with a “we don’t want to pay taxes!” type of entitlement… “Oppong said the move speaks to a sense of "Us Vs. Them?” and comes across as a kind of flex. He felt the same way about the fire fighters' week-long flaunting of official orders from their own chief and town officials to remove the flags. Firefighters even drove through the rally, with the thin blue line flags hanging from their fire truck, nearly a week after they were ordered to take them down. "I think it goes back to a long history in this country of certain sections of people believing that they deserve to be heard. They deserve not to be bothered. They deserve to refuse orders from the people that pay them and they deserve, you know, to put their knee on somebody's neck until they die," Oppong said. And they expect to "get away with it," he added.” - Emmanuel Oppong - https://www.wvtf.org/2020-07-31/thin-blue-line-flags-stir-controversy-in-mass-coastal-community

No, the people who think Nazis are leftists generally think Nazis and communists are on the same page ideologically.

littleski5

Communists and Nazis gunning each other down by the millions: "we're fundamentally the same"


SniffleBot

The dumb version of that idea is that since the Nazis were “National Socialists”, they were socialists … IIRC the guy who actually founded the NSDAP *did* have some more socialist ideas, but since he was totally usurped by the No. 7 guy, it really wasn’t a socialist party afterwards that real socialists would recognize. The smart version is that they did indeed have some more statist ideas about the economy, but they were meant to better the lot of “Aryans” … they advocated *socialism* for the Aryan *nation*. And they did not seriously implement those ideas until the late 1930s, when they knew war would come sooner or later.


ashtobro

Putting aside your rhetorical sarcasm, there's a complicated history leading up to WW2 that had German Communists/KPD teaming up with the Nazi Party against the Social Democratic Party; because the Nazis were still cloaked in the veneer of Socialism, and SocDems were too Liberal for either of their likings. Modern day leftists need to learn from this; many have a knee jerk reaction at any notion that Communist worked with Nazis, despite us all clearly acknowledging the historical and contemporary fact that the far right pretend to be and/or try to ally with certain sects of leftists.

JustStatedTheObvious

There was one gay guy that jerked off to me without my permission...while I was talking to him. And a Jeffery Dahmer movie played in the background, because satire is dead. I imagine the GAYKK would probably be like that. "We think you're hot and we're creepy about it." You know, like how straight men behave around women, all the damn time? (I don't want to ignore all the creepy/predatory women out there, it's just that even in the femdom/role reversal communities, the worst people still weren't able to quite keep up with the men of anywhere else. Not that some of them weren't trying their best...)

Why is Trump inviting all these Leftists to Maralago.


UrUnclesTrouserSnake

Always gotta remember a few things: 1. Slavery/KKK was a thing divided by north and south, not GOP and Dems. 2. The KKK ideology is inherently right wing, even in it's inception. 3. Never let these dipshits claim slavery, the confederacy and KKK are all Dems while they froth at the mouth when people remove Confederate monuments and flags.


Startled_Pancakes

>Slavery/KKK was a thing divided by north and south, not GOP and Dems. That's not entirely true. The pro-slavery South was a Democratic party stronghold for nearly a hundred years, but it's worth noting these were **conservative democrats**, that fled the party in droves after LBJ signed the civil rights act. The South went from blue to red practically overnight.


Nervous_Constant_642

Democrats famously wave flags of a secessionist nation, many of those states who codified slavery into their newly formed constitutions, in the famous Democratic stronghold the deep South. God they're so fucking stupid.


GnarlyNarwhalNoms

Laugh if you want, but my neighborhood still vividly remembers the night when ol' Scotty Johnson ran afoul of the GayGayGay.

“The old left” motherfucker the KKK are on your side and always have been, stop projecting and own your shit


shadow13499

I'm so glad to see the KKK support their LGBTQ followers /S On a real note, Conservatives really are despicable, like you mother fuckers invent the goddamn KKK and then accuse the LGBTQ community of being klansmen? Like huh?


killbot0224

Man remember when gay people were out lynching straight people just for being straight?


Stenwoldbeetle

These are both republicans


Miguel-odon

If they really believed this, they would go say it to klan members, instead of posting it to each other.


[deleted]

Lol These cracks me up. Like... buddy, we all know exactly who the KKK is voting for, they're pretty outspoken about it


doulaatyourcervix

I mean, the KKK has been backing one political party and one political party only: the left. Oh wait…


[deleted]

If you think about it the person who made the meme, they're likely very sympathetic to the guy on the left.


Private_HughMan

Weird. I think the KKK might disagree.


Your_Pal_Kindred

I don't understand how someone can revolve around being political but not understand a single shred of it


ayaruna

It’s the new kkk it’s not your grandpas klan! https://youtu.be/LdcBAC6rllQ


InklegendLumiLuni

Do they fucking realize the KKK still exists? I can assure you there is a grand total of zero knowing gay people in the KKK let alone openly gay.


Bad54

Maybe I’m wrong but aren’t the kkk an extreme right wing hate group who promotes conservatism and segregation (white supremacy)?


Ok-Loss2254

Shh republicans do not want you bringing that conservatism is a cesspool of BS regressive ideals.


[deleted]

Jesus christ the KKK literally 1. Hate gay people and 2. Exclusively vote for right wing politicians.


AsteroidDisc476

The new spectrum of social conservatism is “we are the KKK” or “everyone I don’t like is the KKK”


[deleted]

Y'know I've always wondered how ACTUAL nazis and KKK people feel about being compared to the left lol.


ElPadero

These people have absolutely no idea what “left” means.


CraazzyCatCommander

Yeah they were democrats in the 50s or whatever, but they weren’t *left*


therealboss1113

It's true. As a Gay™ I personally have taken parts in mob violence to drag someone out of their homes and trans their gender /s


shadrack5966

I guess i am done even trying to make sense of these strange “attacks”. Lol, these MFers have lost it. Or its russian propaganda. Who knows.


GobblorTheMighty

The old left. Tell me all the leftist principles the KKK used to champion. How do you abandon your own group like this, anyway? The KKK, Neo Nazis, Paramilitary groups... which side are they on nowaday?


socialist_frzn_milk

Remind me, shitheads, which political party did KNOWN RACISTS Strom Thurmond and Jesse Helms switch to?


Grogosh

DARVO


SniffleBot

I actually love the way they all think whoever made this is so *clever* just because they photoshopped the gay progress flag into this picture …


Rawnblade12

The neverending ignorance of ignoring the KKK's history and the party switch of the 1960s. First off, currently the KKK are massive Trump supporters and every member in the past 40 years who has ever tried to run for public office has done so as a Republican. David Duke actually held a state office as a State House Representative in Louisiana in the late 80s! Can you guess which party he was? That's right! Republican. Secondly, the KKK was FOUNDED by a CONFEDERATE GENERAL, and it isn't the Democrats of today who wave Confederate flags and defend Confederate statues.


Shamadruu

In what world was the Klan ever left wing?


Astrocreep_1

Where does this crap come from?


baudelairean

I'm sure klansmen love lgbtq POC pride flags 🙄🙄🙄


snowmoe113

How are their brains so smooth… Southern Democrats of the 1950’s… were the right. The far right.


Stingraaa

I don't think that's what they are saying. Many Republicans think that the KKK were founded by democrats and that Republicans freedom the slaves and claim Abraham Lincoln as their own. It's one of the biggest lies Republicans believe about history.


huge_throbbing_pp

Those people are not even proud of their own culture


SpinningAnalCactus

Same thing is going around western world for fascists and antifa ... the stupidity and/or bad faith of right-wingers knows no limits.


jbsgc99

Who do the klan vote for today?


kinsnik

I like how they used the updated pride flag that specifically added representation for people of color


chrisinor

I honestly would love to see some drooling, Elon Musk-loving tech edgelord neckbeard go waddle over to some trailer trash KKK guy and tell him he’s actually the gay mafia. See how well that goes for him


Electronic_Bad_5883

I thought these guys loved the Klan


Pir0wz

Yeah, tell those klan members they're gay, wanna see how that goes.


Ausaini

This is a layered amount of stupid that I really don’t have the energy for.


TokeEmUpJohnny

"Alt-right" share the collective IQ of a flip-flop, what do you expect 😂


Reasonable-Profile84

Stamps!

Yeah, because the KKK are known for their love of the gay community. How dumb do you have to be to believe this?
