Why do Republicans think pointing out that the KKK was started by Democrats is relevant today?

If you randomly sampled 50 klan members today, which party do you think they would be voting for?

They may think it's relevant today, but it's not. The segregationist Dixiecrats no longer exist and the "Solid South" that long supported the Democrats is now pretty solidly behind the Republicans.

distraction: anything to draw attention away from the fact all the oldtime southern Democrats switched to the Republican party after the Civil Rights Act.
They will say that was fake news, never happened

The African-American issue has caused liberals to rewrite history to ensnare their vote. They seek to deceive the African-American by ignoring the historical record. The KKK was the military strong arm of southern Democrats. Republicans fight for civil rights against Democrats. It was The racist Democrat George Wallace who fought against integrated schools in Georgia. It's a record the Democrats and liberals alike email would prefer to hide.

The relevance is because the liberals like to accuse Republicans of being racist. The record speaks to the REAL truth.

Care to point to something less than 50 years old?

@KaliKali: this past election liberals screamed from sea to shining sea Trump is racist! Yet history will tell you it's a lie,a deception. Trump's record from charitable donation to support of African-American politicians would show he's definitely NOT a racist. Trump rejected the endorsement of the KKK. But Democrats including Clinton clung to the talking points despite the truth.

It never hurts to know your history. The relevance is that parties can turn on a dime and if you're not paying attention you'll find yourself on the wrong side. If this election has taught us anything it's that the press on both sides lies to us regularly, and skillfully, with zero remorse. My advice to my sons has been vote your heart, and remember people are more important than politics. If you can befriend someone with opposing views, it's harder to demonize them for their beliefs. There are good people everywhere. In 1985 Bruce Springstein said, "Blind faith in your leaders, will get you killed." He was, and still is right.
Democrats always accuse Republicans of being racist. Republicans make the mistake to try and defend and deflect that accusation.

Democrats are the ones who are obsessed with race.
The democratic party also used to represent working people and middle class.. but this last election has seen that change. Because parties are really just make believe tools to control and divide you all. Neither of those parties represent people at all they only represent profit and power. I wait for the day Americans wake up and reject both parties and actually unite

@Freefun74: read the history. The KKK was the military arm of southern Democrats
@biandlargeny: Thst is very true until the Dixie democrats left the party in droves because of all of the newly registered voters with extra melanin joining the party
