2020s Republicans are 1920s Klu Klux Klan

"We are a movement of the plain people,very weak in the matter of culture, intellectual support, and trained leadership. We are demanding, and we expect to win, a return of power into the hands of the everyday, not highly cultured, not overtly intellectualized, but entirely unspoiled and not de-Americanized average citizen of the old stock... This is undoubtedly a weakness. It lays us open to the charge of being 'hicks' and 'rubes' and 'drivers of second hand Fords.' We admit it...

The klan does not believe that the fact that it is emotional and instinctive, rather than coldly intellectual, is a weakness... [they] are the foundations of our american civilization, even more than our great historic documents; they can be trusted where the fine-haired reasoning of the denatured intellectuals cannot."

- Hiram Wesley Evans (Imperial Grand Wizard), 1926
