    You can definitely tell we had the second highest KKK population outside of Indiana. Even in the more progressive areas that made it a 2016/2020 Bernie state, Loveland was a sundown town until the 1970s. Their town signs used to read “Welcome to Loveland - Elev. 5000 - Nationally Famous Sweetheart Town - Won’t You Stay Awhile - Industrial Opportunities - Diversified Agriculture. We observe the Jim Crow Laws here.” There’s an entire town near there that’s known for its Nazi church, which is somehow more explicit than Loveland’s God’s Country Cowboy Church. Which is somehow not the only Country Cowboy Church.
