Old Glory Knights in Tennessee and the Loyal White Knights of North Carolina and Virginia were recorded as having contributed to most of the flyering in 2022, while the United Klan Nation was most active on Telegram. The Klan activity is mostly confined to flyering and spreading propaganda online, most of which is spread on alt-tech platforms like MeWe and the neo-Nazi forum Stormfront. While there were Klan rallies throughout 2022, they were small, remote and operated by individual Klan organizations with little cross coordination or overlap between other groups.Įlection denialism has played a role in Klan mainstream relevancy and messaging revolving around the country being lost to “undesirables.” Former Grand Dragon David Duke’s radio show continues to falsely promote that millions of votes were stolen in the 2020 election. Longtime themes of Klan rhetoric – including the need to “take back the country” – continued to permeate Klan propaganda in 2022. However, the subsequent news coverage they received helped maintain the false perception that the Klan is a dominant white supremacist group in America. There were very few Klan events of note in 2022, and there were 22 flyering incidents, which was the same amount in 2021. The decline can be attributed to infighting that has long been a hallmark of the Klan, as well as the comparatively greater appeal of newer racist groups that feature more contemporary tactics and rhetoric that is focused online and on younger audiences.

Continuing the same trajectory as years past, the number of active Ku Klux Klan hate groups again declined in 2022.
