The Ku Klux Klan uses patriotism to further white supremacy by:
1. Appropriating National Symbols: They use the American flag and other symbols to align their ideology with national identity.
2. Framing Racism as Patriotic: They present the defense of white dominance as a patriotic duty to protect American values.
3. Historical Revisionism: They distort history to emphasize white contributions and justify their beliefs.
