BIDEN SUPPORTERS: Just know you are supporting the party of the KKK😃

@windinhishair lies 🙄 you should really do your research and turn off CNN and MSNBC

@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.
