The problem with that is that in the post ACW South, the KKK weren’t extremists. The majority of people resented the union occupation, the carpetbaggers who came to feed off the economic misery of the southern states and the fact that not only didn’t blacks have to kowtow to them, but were getting elected to positions of power. In those days the KKK had a real and diverse power base. It’s supporters overturned the reconstruction efforts of the victorious Union.No I'm not. For now I can at least conclude that the Klan was and is extreme rightists. And I suppose there would be extreme rightists in both parties.
Maybe we should start by trying define 'extreme rightist'?
There's very little understanding of what makes up either the extreme right or extreme left on this forum. Only a few who appear to be politically astute have gotten it right.
Unfortunately, both sides appear to want to label the other side as commies/fascists and that's just plain wrong.
So I'm left with having to judge the credibility of the messenger.
And then there's the screeching pissant bripat who does damage to anybody's message!
I'll just discount that and it's ilk to representing neither side. It's just childish shit that can't carry any weight in anybody's best interests.
