There has been a massive surge relating to Ku Klux Klan (KKK) since Donald Trump won the Presidential Election. According to Google's search data, more Americans use Google to search for the infamous hooded racists in November, more than ever before.
KKK is seeing a more than 100 percent increase in searches if compared to its previous high in March this year.
The KKK has made some endorsement to Trump when then Klan funded ads supporting him in several key states. Former leader David Duke also announced his support in February. The Klan's newspaper, the Crusader, has also aligned itself with Trump's views.
White supremacists were energized seeing him as a leader who will champion their causes.
Trump has shared some tweets from white supremacists on the campaign trail. But later, he officially denounced supports from them. His campaign released a statement saying, "Mr. Trump and the campaign denounce hate in any form. This publication is repulsive and their views do not represent the tens of millions of Americans who are uniting behind our campaign."
An increased interest in the KKK also spiked in November 2008, after the election of Barack Obama as the first black president.
