It's like if the Klan decided to let black people, Catholics and Jews join so that they could get together and do terrorism against the new scapegoats: queer people, leftists, and refugees.

The klan is still anti non-white organization. There are many factions of the american right, and klan just belong to the more explicitly white supremacist ones. The general right wing cares very much diversity despite complaining about it. They have so many minority based organizations and make a big stink about X ethnicity voters and how they love Trump and are tired of dems.

I know. I was mainly making commentary on how some from those groups who were historically marginalized by the old WASP groups now make common cause to attack new groups of vulnerable people.

My fear with the American right is them discovering the types of fascism that aren't as strictly/ explicitly racialist (Italian, Spanish, Portuguese), and adapting strategies for having a cultural "other" to persecute, rather than a racial one. That way they can broaden their appeal to a diversifying American electorate and more easily win power.

Well, good thing they’re monolingual and hate foreign things.

"Wh... What would you call a political organization like that?"

"The Republicans!"

My fear is they actually get a critical mass of minorities, especially young angry men on their side by blaming queer people and migrants for everything (including why they can't get a girlfriend). It would be a realization of something the Republicans have been trying to accomplish over the last quarter century.
