Former KKK leader David Duke is pleased at the results of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. Over the past year, Trump’s open racism and religious intolerance exposed the true nature of white Christian conservatism.
Though years of Republican rhetoric have encouraged racism, bigotry, and religious intolerance among conservatives, Donald Trump’s political rallies have united white Christian conservatives to unashamedly embrace the philosophy of the Ku Klux Klan. This extremism was not anticipated by GOP leaders, as they mistakenly believed their loyal followers to be more... civilized. Well, party leaders were wrong, and in a big way.
Both Duke and Don Advo, a radio host and contributor to a neo-Nazi blog, agree that Trump’s appointing former Breitbart News Network chairman Stephen K. Bannon to be his campaign CEO has helped white extremism take control of the Republican Party. Bannon has taken Breitbart lurching further and further to the right in support of Trump and his fans’ racism and anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant ideas.
Trump’s campaign has revealed that most conservatives are gratified by the idea of the KKK’s principles becoming a major influence in the Republican decision making process. But in reality, it is just another nail in the Republican Party’s coffin. The vast majority of Americans are opposed to everything the Ku Klux Klan represents, and their disdain and disgust for Republican politicians will be seen during elections in the coming years.
The Republican Party’s own actions of the past five decades will cause its destruction. The world will be gratified by the death of such a contemptible organization.
