Summary

Ku Klux Klan flyers were distributed across 11 cities in northern Indiana, with the Trinity White Knights, a Kentucky-based KKK chapter, claiming responsibility.

Residents expressed outrage and discomfort, condemning the hateful message and its divisive tone.

Residents described the flyers as disturbing and emphasized the need for peaceful and just approaches to addressing societal issues.

Just a few days ago neo nazis openly marched in Ohio. Now the KKK is spreading flyers. I guess this is how you own the woke libs.

Gonna be a long 4 years. Remember America, this is what you wanted.

Aw, you still think this is going to be over in 4 years? The US just had its last free and open election.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 17 hours ago

4 years? Gonna be a long rest of our lives (until we die from lack of affordable healthcare or being put in gulags, anyway).

Remember America, this is what you wanted.

No it isn't. Would be cool if people would stop saying that. Only about 30% of Americans spoke up to say they wanted this

He won the popular vote. Yes it is.

I'm in the US, I voted against Trump, I'm likely going to suffer if he is able to accomplish a smidgen of what he has talked about, and I think we got what we deserved. I know a lot of innocent people are going to suffer, but this is a country of very selfish people. Even some of the most liberal people I have met in this country still have a very selfish mindset and reason for the liberal bent. As soon as they attain a position where they have an advantage they basically pull up the ladder. I'm personally tired of it.

People are going to die, ecosystems are going to burn, countries may very well fall. My only hope is that things only get bad enough that the masses learn an important lesson that at least lasts for their generation and that recovery is possible in that time frame.

It's not that I don't care. It's not even that I don't have the fight left in me. I just don't see any kind of path to a better place without substantial harm occurring first. I will not be happy to be right. I want to be wrong.

I will not be happy to be right. I want to be wrong. I think many are feeling the same. Everybody wants peace not this, but seems this is where we going.

The people who sat on the couch are just as responsible for this as the people who voted him in. He actually won the popular vote this time around, so between the 2 groups this is what they wanted.

... the need for peaceful and just approaches to addressing societal issues.

If we're not already beyond "peaceful approaches," we're gonna be real soon. Prepare to [email protected].

Maybe the shithole country was the United States we lived in along the way.

To paraphrase Ultron

"They're confusing peace with quiet."

If you want them to go away, you have to do more than complain.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

This is going to be normalized in 4 years.

Oh yeah, they're warming up. And it'll be allowed, of course, because fat-ass Trump will not care in the world except himself, to allow this.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 22 hours ago

It's essentially normalized now AFAICT.

Is America great again yet?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Well people are distributing free toilet paper so... maybe?

/s just in case

[–] [email protected] 8 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I don't get the sarcasm? What other thing is good for a klan flyer?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 20 hours ago

I don't get the sarcasm?

The "maybe" in response to "is America great." Yes, it should be obvious that it was not a serious answer, but I figured better safe than sorry.
