Isn't the KKK a fringe group?
I imagine there wouldn't be many votes in it from that area, and the political damage wouldn't be worth it.
I think Trump is politically smarter than to actively align himself to such an extremist group.
He doesn't. But it is vitally important to the democrats that he be associated with them. And also that they are seen as a gigantic threat "the US is crawling with rabid racists". That is why Kraichgauer talks about racism several times a day 7 days a week. He is basically a CNN bot.
Of course the Klan are a marginalized group, and so are the multitude of other hate groups. And yet the FBI recognizes them collectively as the most dangerous domestic terrorist threat currently in America. Oh, that's right, the FBI are part of the deep state conspiracy, aren't they?
It's been said the new racism is denial that it's still a problem in our country. It's just that group of people with such a belief who make up Trump's base.
No the new racism is the pretense that it is totally out of control and that we need democrats running the entire government to save us from it. The new racism is the political exploitation of it by the left. And you as such a loyal unquestioning follower therefore talk about it several times a day seven days a week like someone with a pathological obsession.
From your last post - I don't think the word "racism" means what you think it means.
I believe you started this line of thinking when you said:
"It's been said the new racism is denial that it's still a problem in our country."
To me, it seems you broke the link with the traditional definition of "racism" with that statement. That is, it is once removed.
Ezras seemed to be following your lead.
If there is any confusion, I believe you created it.

Not at all! Denial of racism is to turn a blind eye to the scourge, thus allowing it to propagate. When this is done purposefully, it can be nothing other than racism or any other sort of discrimination. And no, I'm not saying you or Ezra are racists, as I think more likely you accept the spin put on the subject by real racists posing as luminaries of the right or libertarianism.
