Description[]
In fiction, just like their real life counterpart, the Ku Klux Klan tend to wear the notorious white hooded robes and engages in various crimes, such as burning crosses, bullying, kidnappings, assaults, assassinations, murders, racist bullying, racist violence, LGBT bullying, anti-communist terrorism, arsons, vandalism, lynching, hate crimes, and other violence acts, such as impaling, merciless beating, shooting, stabbing, strangling, meat cleavers, and beheading with Japanese katanas. Since firearms and automatic weapons were used on a limited scale with most of the killings and murders being carried out with hunting knives, Japanese swords, ice picks, fireplace poker, shards of glass, hatchets, lassos, bayonets, baseball bats, tennis rackets, golf sticks, pitchforks, machetes, pickaxes, crowbars, shovels, and other makeshift weapons. Just like their real life counterparts, however, the main foes of the Ku Klux Klan are illegal immigrants, immigrants, Catholics, Muslims, LGBT people, communist sympathizers, leftists, Jews, and communists. Most importantly, each of them had also advocated extremist reactionary positions such as white nationalism, anti-immigration and – especially in later iterations – Nordicism, antisemitism, anti-Catholicism, prohibition, right-wing populism, anti-communism, homophobia, Islamophobia, Sinophobia, and anti-atheism.
Local Chinese Americans were also killed in many areas of the western part of United States, and their properties were looted, vandalized, and burned by right-wing protesters as a result of Sinophobia.
