Wrong, do some research. The "KжK" has always associated itself with the conservative party, which ever party that may have been in the past. After the signing of The Civil Rights act of 1965, they moved their support solely to the Republican party and have remained ever since. The KжK only supports Conservative political parties, and that would be the Republican party in today's world.
Well you’re at it maybe you should start thinking that the people that support Biden also support other hate groups like the Proud Boys and the Bugaloo Boys. And it was Biden not Trump that told them to stand back and stand by.
@windinhishair Second, past Klan presence also helps to explain the most significant shift in regional voting patterns since 1950: the South's pronounced move toward the Republican Party. While support for Republican candidates has grown region-wide since the 1960s, we find that such shifts have been significantly more pronounced in areas in which the KKK was active. The Klan helped to produce this effect by encouraging voters to move away from Democratic candidates who were increasingly supporting civil rights reforms, and also by pushing racial conflicts to the fore and more clearly aligning those issues with party platforms. As a result, by the 1990s, racially-conservative attitudes among southerners strongly correlates with Republican support, but only in areas where the KKK had been active. source: PBS
@JimboSaturn I lived in the South before, during, and after Nixon's Southern Strategy to take advantage of the shift away from Democrats to Republicans stemming from Democratic support for civil rights. Politicians like Governor Connelly of Texas were among them. The racists followed and are still Republican to this day.
And look at which party the joined instead. One of the things that's appalling to me is how often swastika bearing folks are tolerated at demonstrations for Trump. It's horrifying that self-described Amerfican patriots SILENTLY ASSENT to Nazis in their midst. Repeatedly.
The KKK backs the Republican Party today and has for 50-60 years now.
The Republican Party associates with many hate groups like the Proud Boys, White Nationalists, KKK. In what alternate universe are you living in where the Republican Party doesn’t push hate?
@Theyitis explain how he lead an inserection when the government wasn’t taken over and when he said march peacefully and patriotically. That is in no way leading anything, and show your source that shows they support republicans and even if they do, nothing anyone can do about it. Same as if Antifa or blm backed up Biden, I don’t recall Biden disavowing either of those groups, while they caused multimillion dollars of damage to businesses and government buildings and injured multiple innocent people, including police officers
@Tksem Byrd was in the KKK for a brief time in the 1940s. He renounced his membership before the Korean War. Do try to keep up. The KKK is Republican in the here and NOW.
@windinhishair The NAACP even honored Byrd at his funeral, saying he was a symbol of change and healing in America. This is like the last person Republicans should be pointing to.
