In the 1920s, ethnonationalism signaled the reemergence of the Ku Kux Klan when the white working class became nervous about the economy and started marching through the streets with banners proclaiming a now-recycled phrase, as evident in a 1921 Congressional hearing

[The Klan] stands for America first [emphasis added]— first in thought, first in affections, and first in the galaxy of nations.

Anyone still needing clarification needs to check their internal light bulb. Populism, at its worst.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
