Actually, in some ways it tones it down. The KKK lost a lot of membership during the depression. I went and looked it up, because I'd thought it was the opposite, but it wasn't. Most people pull together in tough times. So that's actually a good thing. Maybe.

Year Membership
1920 4,000,000
1924 6,000,000
1930 30,000
1980 5,000
2008 6,000
