    This is ridiculously over the top. By painting every political opponent as a fascist and Nazi, leftists are making a mockery of the suffering of actual victims of fascism and Nazism.

    Says a teacher from a state where they teach kids that there are 72 genders and that men can get pregnant.

    by calling him "Grand Wizard", they are portraying him as a KKK racist

    you know that more Democrats were in the KKK

    https://www.cambridge.org/core/book...lux-klan-kkk/AF98C32F011BFB6DBD98879DE0F08C73

    Formed in 1865 as a “secret lodge” by former Confederates in Pulaski, Tennessee, the Invisible Empire or Ku Klux Klan (KKK) has been and remains committed to white supremacy in America.

    Klansmen, beside other diehard groups, violently resisted Reconstruction. Still defending the South, they fought Union Army occupation, Republican governments, and blacks’ freedom. Donning hoods and using secret titles, they took an oath to defend Christianity, the Constitution, and the white race, especially their women's purity. Loyal to the Democratic Party, the Klan enlisted men and women from all classes. Targeting Union Leagues (freedmen's political clubs), night riders harassed and often killed black and Republican voters and officeholders, burned black churches and schools, intimidated teachers, and stole elections. In the 1868 elections, alongside Knights of the White Camellia, they murdered 1,000 black and white Republicans in Louisiana alone. After its investigation, Congress passed the Ku Klux Act (1871). But undermanned Union garrisons rarely stopped the Klan's plunder. Its terrorism during the election of 1876 hastened Reconstruction's end.

    Between 1877 and 1910 the KKK fueled Democrats’ push to establish one-party rule and Jim Crow. A coalition of Democrats, Klansmen, Red Shirts, Rifle Clubs, and White Leagues targeted freedmen and their allies, utilizing ballot fraud, intimidation, and murder. Some 1,751 blacks were lynched in southern and border states ca. 1882–1900 as black and white farmers’ alliances and the Populist Party coalesced for reform. Defeat of populists by ballot-rigging and terror enabled Democrats, as the Supreme Court instituted the “separate but equal” rule, to enact Jim Crow. The system disfranchised and terrorized blacks; it also persecuted Jews, Catholics, and nonwhite immigrants.

    if the shoe fits...

    yes. that was at a time when democrats were the conservative southern party and republicans were the radical liberals.

    and you know that LBJs push for civil rights in the 60's turned all those democrat klansmen into nixon republicans.

    The parties changed platforms. Everybody knows this. You are not arguing in good faith.

    How else can they justify conservatism? Make America Great Again by Redefining What America Was.

    So - it was a Democrat who founded the KKK, it was the Democrats who stalled the Civil Rights act of 1964, historian Eric Foner - himself a Democrat - noted: “In effect, the Klan was a military force serving the interests of the Democratic Party.” - but the parties miraculously "changed platforms" and the Republicans are the villains and KKK racists.

    Got it.

    According to Prof. Carol Swain, Lyndon B. Johnson said about the Civil Rights Act, “I’ll have them n*****s voting Democrat for two hundred years.”

    So now, the Democratic Party prospers on the votes of the very people it has spent much of its history oppressing.

    No. That isn't part of our curriculum. I'm not surprised that you would mistakenly believe that.

    You fail to recognize it's not the parties themselves that represent anything, it's the actual people in and affialiated with the party.
    Even the makeup of the GOP of 2003 is not the GOP of 2023.
    In 2003, there would be 0 dissent from conservatives to arm Ukraine against Russia.

    Why give a speech at Neshoba County, Mississippi? Why on State's rights? Which rights?
    For a long time, it was slavery and then it was re-segregation.

    He read it on a Xeet. Or watched it on the official Toilet Paper USA Youtube channel. Or watched a youtube video in one of @tinman's threads.

    You just learned this stuff?

    Republicans have been trying to argue against the Democratic position from 70 years ago for a long time now.

    This is old news and has been brought up on these threads multiple times.

    No, I have been aware of it for a while, because even Fulbright had a racist past.

    Yep…. Slavery… Jim Crow…. KKK…. Are conservative ideals.

    You should look at the history of voting rights acts since 1964.

    They're not inherently conservative ideals. They're White Supremacist views and in the South, White Supremacy was the way of life because it was an agrarian economy built upon justifying treating non-whites, specifically Black Africans, as chattel and subhuman. But then conservative views in the south are white supremacy.

    The South should've treated racism, slavery, and confederacy like the Germans did with Nazism post WWII.
