Theory The Republican Party was the yankee equivalent of the KKK

[Atavistic Autist]

The KKK emerged in the south as an organization interested in the maintenance of White Supremacy over a servile, negroid population.

Note that White Supremacy as such is distinct from White Nationalism, which desires a racially purely White nation rather than intimate White mastery over mudbloods.

I argue that with this in mind, the historical Republican Party was very similar in its dynamics to the KKK. Much like Southern aristocrats of the type who would found the KKK advocated for the importation of Black slaves but desperately opposed the granting of emancipation and rights to these slaves, creating the problem in the first place out of greed, the Republican Party similarly supported mass-immigration from the Catholic regions of Europe (since it was good for big business) but was adversarial to the social and political interests of these immigrants (as represented by the urban unions).

In essence, the Republican Party had a supremacist ideology in the late 19th century, just like the KKK in the south. The only difference was the industrial nature of the northern economy as compared to the agrarian nature of the southern economy, and the Catholic vs. negroid questions that respectively plagued each.

There’s different (3) main iterations of the KKK. The first one organized by Nathan Bedford Forrest right after the civil war was created as a vigilante force against newly freed slaves who were committing crime, and to stop carpetbaggers (northerners who moved to the south) from destroying the southern way of life.

The second one was created after birth of a nation in the late 1910’s Although there’s no specific reason for it (or clause, like the US invading the south and occupying it or desegregation) other than preserving White Anglo Saxon Protestantism against foreigners in general.

Then the third Ku Klux Klan iteration was created in the 60’s and 70’s to stop desegregation and the modern racial issues we have.

Of course, for the purposes of this thread I am referring to the first iteration, although the second iteration provides an interesting overlap with the classic anti-Catholic sentiments of the Republican Party.
