I think the depiction of the Klan as comic relief kinda accentuates how softened it is. While the Klan was more or less dead by 1899 and wouldn't get its revival for 16 years, there were still plenty of white supremacist paramilitaries running around. One of them even overthrew a city's government just a year prior.
