America's #1 Cult

I just want to say for the record that if anyone is on trial for brutally beating a KKK member and I'm on the jury I will never ever convict you. That is not a crime.

On the jury, being shown some video evidence....
"It doesn't look like anything to me."
- Why would I convict him? He just whooped that ghost's ass.
- Clearly it's John Cena your honor
- You can actually question if video evidence is still credible, with editing software and deep fakes nowadays.
- “It’s not a crime to beat up a ghost, because ghosts don’t exist. I think we’re done here.”
I would never say something like that on record.
Unrelated fun fact: having that kind of record come up in voir dire would immediately get you kicked off the jury.
- If a lawyer can find this they deserve to kick me off the jury. Although I will say I've never been picked for a jury I think I'm Kryptonite the most lawyers.
- Damn OP njm1314, too bad you used your real name and are super easy to find!
Jury Nullification!!!
Seriously people. Know it! Use it!
- Unfortunately jury nullification also has a very racist history. Not to say it can’t be used for good now!
You probably wouldn't end up on the jury without lying during jury selection then.
Oh thank god-
See ya in court Tuesday then!

Parts of CT are KKK strongholds.

I have a friend who used to live there and he told me his town had some prominent klansmen there, and there were rallies a town or two away.

In the past they've been socially aware enough to keep it to themselves. Since Trump became a thing they've gotten bold.
I live in New England so I'm close-ish to where this happened... I'd like to throw something on them like wine to stain their ghost costumes but who knows if thats legal and i dont want to end up in jail since i have responsibilities to people other than just me.
Is tossing glitter on them not assault? I want something that sticks and makes it so they don't want to wear that outfit anymore. Glitter that's fine enough never comes out.. because it's micro plastics. I normally avoid glitter but feel this might be an exception. Any other ideas non-violent ideas to make them feel unwelcome??
- Wine is probably a civil matter, right? They'd have to take you to court under their real name to recover damages.
- I want something that sticks so they don’t want to wear that outfit anymore… any other ideas non-violent ideas to make them feel unwelcome??
  I’ve got just the thing for you. Vegan milkshakes. Well, any milkshake will do, because the point of throwing a shake is to get them soaked in a liquid that will smell awful if it bakes in the sun. It might stain clothes, and it will certainly be uncomfortable. You should probably use a chocolate shake with the klansmen, it’ll stain their bedsheets real good.
  The best part about it is the physical harm inflicted is minimal, while the social harm, humiliation, is pretty significant. This is important because humiliation is the achilles heel of fascists, since their world view is based on imagery, and this action disrupts it.
  The other good thing this does is it can be used to make a potential agitator leave so they can clean up.
  This, unfortunately, is assault (or some other illegal activity), so keep that in mind.

Leave it to a place called Mystic to have it's own Grand Wizard.

That's a lower wizard at best!
- With Spell Focus: Racism
- That person is an apprentice.
Mystic is actually really nice these people are probably coming in from the sticks
The guy in the klan robe is a youtuber who trolls, mostly, Trump stuff. He is there, doing this, because the KKK literally endorsed Trump

+100 points each for hitting them, Deathrace 2000 style.

Hey, don't hit my favourite troll. He's biggly important. (Professional Douche).
GOURANGA!!!

Like Charlottesville?

I don't normally pick at the physical appearances of people just for the sake of it, but I've noticed that Trump attracts a certain type of follower. Take a look at the people in the background of the next Trump rally and tell me what you see.

Those people and these people are the same. Just a bunch of trashy hillbillies. These klansmen are not the fringe supporters of Trump's cult, they're the ones down in the front. Like wax statues melting in the sun, their eyes glazed over enraptured as word salad pours out of Donald Trump's mouth.

And don't say "well that guy wearing the klan outfit is just a troll, the other people there are not associated with that!". If you've got one Nazi in a bar full of people, you're in a Nazi bar. If you've got one klansman at a Trump rally, you're at a klan rally.

Other than the presence of the Klan, those are normal people. This is exactly the kind of elitism they talk about encountering.
- Normal people don't hang out with klansman, we beat the shit out of them.
  These people are far from normal. They're downright weird.
Could we be disparaging against fascist fuckwads without resorting to classist shit?

Remember that every single one of those creatures are going to vote.

Unless you shoot them first. Edit: please don't shoot anyone. This is not a call for violence
- Will try my best but, laying down without a fight isn't an option.
- What am I shooting them at?
Well, I count five of them. CT hasn't been a swing state since Reagan. I wouldn't be too worried about that changing this cycle.
But just like with other big blue states, like California and Illinois, you often see the perennial losers go full freak mode as a form of coping. Its the same way you see folks in Austin, TX or Miami, FL going full hippie-bumper-sticker on their cars and bikes. Folks sometimes think being louder is a substitute for being more popular.
- No this is honest. I travel a lot for work and I feel like I see more Trump signs in CT than I did in KY. Not to say that there aren't more Trump supporters in KY, but they are a LOUD minority

Put these fascists on https://magatmap.com Fascists should be identified and disenfranchised.

In a similar vein, anybody with information should reach out to the ACC:
https://accollective.noblogs.org/
They document and oust neo nazis/fascists.
- I didn't know about this! Thank you!
I added the Trump Unity Bridge bastard just now.
- I'm legit proud of you.
Been thinking of making something like this for a few years
- Now you don't have to! Send them any ideas you have.

Most normal Trump supporter.

Possibly the most honest

Bet those robes are flammable.

If they aren't, that can be rectified.
- Anything can be flammable if you try hard enough.

Do you think scientology is jealous that they’re getting beat by MAGA?

I know some former Christian Scientist is laughing his ass off knowing that no cult lasts long if it remains tied to their leader.

That's weird, I thought klansmen don't have to hide their faces behind hoods anymore after Trump. Someone should tell the guy to get with the times

Wish,com-ass kkk costume

Come on folks. Do you think the actual KKK would have a sign saying: "Trump: Endorsed by the KKK!"

I mean Trump took an avowed white nationalist Laura Loomer to a 9/11 ceremony. We don't need to find evidence out there that Trump is racist, he's out there telling everybody himself.

I'm swerving. I won't even think about it. It's an involuntary reaction.

I'm pretty sure that's this guy: https://www.youtube.com/@ProfessionalDouche

Trolls Trump events like this pretty often, he's an entertaining watch.

it is, here is a link to his YT community tab, which it is at the top of, because the news article is paywalled, and I am not in a place to do things like disable javascript, etc.
https://www.youtube.com/@ProfessionalDouche/community
- This one he did during a pro abortion March is great:
  https://youtu.be/lG0CmgTJE4w?si=JmHiVIqx2iAlkIDM

To be honest, attending that “event” in a KKK robe would do great to show Trump voters who they caucus with lol.

That is what is happening here. That is youtuber professional douche.

While they could be a plant, the fact that they aren't being pushed out of the display is still telling.

about 10 minutes from my house, there is a house that has had a red take america back flag flying for so long it's faded and kinda blown out. their neighbor had 2 small BIDEN HARRIS signs put up about 2 months ago. then the shitty neighbor put up a yard sign for the orange turd and his couch fucker running mate. it wasn't until about 2-3 weeks ago when the HARRIS WALZ signs finally started making their debut, that this guy put up a 3x4 sign with a couple more smaller yard signs.

now there's a life-sized cardboard cutout of "thumbs up" facing out the front door

These people are genuinely insane. The locals in CT act genuinely surprised when they get any pushback against their Christo fascist asses. There's one guy who has been sitting out on Rt-6 that I make sure to flip off every time I see him and every time he makes a big stink. I know I'm far from the only one doing it though

The "great" times, half the US fantasize about, but then most of them will argue its always been the greatest country ever.

So yeah, not at all surprising, this runs in the open.

SPOILERS FOR Red Dead Redemption 2
There is a proxy of the clan in-game. same outfits, etc. You can stumble across them one night and they're about to light a giant cross on fire...and something goes awry and they light themselves on fire. This is also one of the very very rare instances where you can kill non-gang aligned randos in the game, unprovoked, without a hit to honor.
- I came across this, had fun. Took the Dirty Arty route, started lobbing dynamite at them then ran in with the shotgun. Very entertaining, and even managed to not get Arthur killed in the process.

I get the feeling these people would be out yelling at black people in cars even if it weren't for Trump.

Sure. I could see that being the case. But the overlap of the KKK and MAGA groups seems to be abnormal.
Maybe, but Trump has definitely renewed the racist tendencies in americans. Without him we would be seeing far less of this.
Blaming minorities and immigrants because for not getting that promotion at his last job...and not the fact he was routinely late and or drunk/hungover

Didn’t some guy Sherman make it really clear that it’s legal to kill people dressing and behaving like this?

Drove through New Hampshire a month ago and the road was littered with yard signs for Trump. Funny enough, once you got off the main road they became significantly less common. But someone definitely spent some time and energy absolutely littering I-93 with pro-Trump propaganda.

Didn't know the Mason-Dixon line crossed through New England

What is the person on the right attempting to display in their hand? Is that like a crack pipe or a half eaten sandwich?

Pretty sure she's pointing at the car while holding something
Well Byrd led the democratic caucus until the late 80s...
- And then?

Worst Halloween ever.

Also our top terrorist threat as well.

Republicans will try and tell you they will vote for Harris

That's too bad because mystic is a uhhh ...it has a nice market!

Their aquarium is really nice, if you ignore the klansmen.
- I forgot about the aquarium!!! It's like right next to that Really cool marketplace
I liked the donuts and pizza shop

I would be angry at the world too if i was poor and retarded.

You are being downvoted because we don’t use the r word anymore. Don’t be one of them.
- Who is this we bullshit?

That guys got some balls standing that close to the side of a road.

I can smell the stoopid from here

I am so sorry you have to pass close to these repellent creatures in your daily life in your towns and cities. Politics + television and internet have taken something that was already stunted and vulnerable, warped it beyond all reach of reality and sanity, on a mass scale.

Rhetorical question: why is there even an active KKK presence in what is arguably the most Yankee state in the union?

Racism and hate respect no borders.
