@EPreject You should try living in reality instead of right-wing Fantasyland. Try it sometime.

@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.

@Kwek00 show me in the constitution or the bill of rights where it says women have a right to an abortion, I’ll wait

@Kwek00

@Kwek00 The demonocrat party, bringing you insurrection since 1823

@Musicman Except for many, many members of The Base.

@SW-User What base?

@Patriot96 Maybe that has more to do with the white population, then with the civil rights act or the welfare system.

@Kwek00 yes the democrat whites

@Bumbles More like 50-60 years behind. But remember, these people aren't the sharpest tools in the shed, so it takes awhile for reality to set in.

@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

@Prison1203

"how is it a crime to follow the constitution"

Stop playing dumb, Project 2025 completely sercumvents The Constitution.

@lesulk Prove her wrong then, Hillary Clinton's mentor, the late dem Senator, Strom Thurman, was a Klan Grand Dragon.

@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.

@BohemianBabe True. But any time they can pull out history from prior to 1950 and claim that it invalidates all history after that, they will do it.

@NativePortlander1970 I know black guys here in Georgia that have the Tennessee battle flag on their home or on their front license plate
