Ku Klux Klan not founded by the Democratic Party

[Into the Night]

The KKK was largely formed by ex-confederate soldiers and leaders.

Democrats.

It was not political,

No. It was violence, Sybil.

but about racism and bigotry.

...and violence.

It became big in the south and made deep inroads into the Democratic Party.

It was created by Democrats.

It was the southern party until the 1950s.

Never was. It was created by Democrats and is nationwide.

They were not Democrats in philosophy.

Blatant lie (denial).

Their politics were more aligned with the Repubs.

Blatant lie (inversion).

They were called Dixiecrats, because they were Dems in name but their philosophy and politics was pro Republican party.

Inversion fallacy.

They voted far more with the reds.

The KKK wears white robes, Sybil.

When LBJ passed the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

More Democrat bigotry.

They moved en masse to the party they really belonged to, The Republican Party.

Republicans are not Democrats, Redefinition fallacy.

They have been seamlessly a part of them since.

It is DEMOCRATS that continue to fund and support them, Sybil. You are hallucinating again.

You can't blame the KKK or any other violent arm of the Democrat party on anybody else!

 

[Into the Night]

That doesn't preclude the founders being Democrats.

It is the Democrats that continue to fund and support them as well.

 

[Into the Night]

1865 was a long fucking time ago, and the parties have realigned during that time.

Could we possibly stay relevant....there is much work to be done.

There has been no 'magick realignment', Hawk.

 

[Into the Night]

Prior to the 20th century, the Democratic Party was a socially conservative party that advocated strongly for state's rights.

The confederate States were not States of the Union, Sybil.

 

[Into the Night]

The Democratic Party was never a progressive party

Socialism isn't progress, Sybil. It's tyranny.

until Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt. It was a socially conservative, states-rights party in the 19th century.

The confederate States were not States of the Union, Sybil.

I would have chosen to be a Republican in 1870.

Blatant lie (synthesis).

 

[Into the Night]

what does progressive mean?

To him? Socialism, which is not progress.

 

[Into the Night]

Democrats who were really aligned with Repubs

They never were, Sybil. You are still hallucinating.

and bigots.

Democrats have always been bigots.

They were called Dixiecrats for a reason.

Still Democrats, despite the derogatory name.

They were Repub in almost every way.

Democrats are not Republicans. Redefinition fallacy.

The South was Dem in name

The South during the war was called the Confederacy, not 'Dem in name'.

because the Repubs were seen as carpetbaggers.

Republicans didn't for the Confederacy.

You could not get elected in the South if you were not a Dem.

Blatant lie (denial).

When LBJ did the Civil Rights Act,

More Democrat bigotry and racism, now institutionalized.

that ended and the Reds moved to their real home, The Republican Party.

Parties have no color, Sybil.

 

[Nordberg]

That doesn't preclude the founders being Democrats.

Actually, there is nothing about Dems in the organization. It was about racism. https://calendar.eji.org/racial-injustice/dec/24 It was started by ex-Confederate soldiers. They were the people who tried to end the American experiment, like Trump and his fans are doing now.

 

[AProudLefty]

It is the Democrats that continue to fund and support them as well.

Blatant lie. Grow up.

Ku Klux Klan not founded by the Democratic Party​

CLAIM: The Ku Klux Klan was formed by the Democratic Party.

AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. The Ku Klux Klan was not formed by the Democratic Party.

THE FACTS: The Klan first emerged after the Civil War in an effort to intimidate Southern blacks to stay out of politics and to exploit their labor. It was created in Pulaski, Tennessee, by Confederate veterans: Frank McCord, Richard Reed, John Lester, John Kennedy, J. Calvin Jones and James Crowe. Mark Pitcavage, senior fellow at the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism, told The Associated Press that it was originally designed “purely for entertainment, with no political motivations.”

Ooohhh look, a Stalinist is lying and trying to rewrite history.

Must be a day ending in "Y"

The Klan was established to murder and intimidate Northern Republicans.

 

[Uncensored2008]

Blatant lie. Grow up.

Yes, you're blatantly lying. Trying to rewrite history to escape responsibility for your action.

Typical Stalinist.

Don't expect the MAGAts to believe you. They have a lot riding on labeling the Democrats as racists to cover up their own racism.

 

[Uncensored2008]

That doesn't preclude the founders being Democrats.

Particularly since they were formed explicitly to drive Republicans away through murder and intimidation.

This is just the Stalinists desperately trying to rewrite history. Liars and scumbags tend to lie about the past as well as the present.

It's amusing that you Stalinists think the past will actually change just because you lie about it.

 

[AProudLefty]

Typical Stalinist.

What action?

 

[Uncensored2008]

What action?

Why are you desperately and shamelessly lying to try and alter the past? Do you think it absolves your shameful party if you just lie?

 

[Dutch Uncle]

I'M NOT A PSYCHO! I'M NOT A PSYCHO!

Dixiecrats? There is no altering of history.

What's shameful about "my party"?

You're off by a hundred years.

You democrats started the Klan in 1865. Those democrats like Robert Byrd, Al Gore, Orval Faubus, Bull Connor, Fritz Hollings, George Wallace, et al were from the 1960's. Not a single one of them became Republicans - despite the lies you Marxists love to spew.

democrats never change. The new Klan, BLM, isn't doing well. Cutting off USAID is likely to end it. That's okay, racism will ALWAYS be the heart of the democrat party.

Let it be known that @Uncensored2008 made the claim that the minorities never changed and that racism will always be in their heart.
