Really? The KKK tends to show up in very red areas.

If we want to speak CT in particular, Wallingford had a large presence in the early to mid 20th century, that should give you an idea?

For years the Klan’s biggest foot hold was Wallingford. Those people are just quieter now but they’re still here. Meriden has a member of Patriot Front, NSC-131 has a member likely in Wethersfield based on their shitty propaganda efforts. They’re still very much here.

Well, I was involved in local Quiet Corner politics for many years as a Dem. The Republicans were generally to the left of the them.

I suppose we can talk about a Klan presence in the past century but today the red Quiet Corner walks the walk when it comes to the ideals of progressives. As I said not so much in the supposed enlightened blue towns.
