Revisionist history.The history of the klan and all white supremacists is firmly with the Republican Party.You sure know your party's history, Dimwinger.BULLSHIT.
The groundwork was lain for the Klan already with the Lost Cause pushing this revisionist narrative. The KKK rose directly out of the sensation of the movie "Birth of a Nation" which in turn rose out of a wildly popular play based on the wildly popular novel "The Clansman" in 1905. ALL of those were narrative of the Cult of the Lost Cause, ALL of them depicting the worst racial stereotypes and ALL of them penetrated deep into the culture. Simmons' whole point in rekindling the Klan in 1915 was to capitalize on that cultural momentum by making the Klan people saw in the movie into a real thing that people could actually join, and in the process put money in his pocket. So when the Klan became a real thing it did so in a fertile field that was built for it to take off. Within a decade its members numbered in the millions from sea to shining sea, FAR outpacing the reach of the original 1865 Klan.
Moreover ALL of them -- the book, the play, the movie, the race riots, the segregation, the Jim Crow laws --- were taking place simultaneously with the UDC propaganda transmitter campaign. The statue in this thread was erected in 1907. Ten years later they were affixing a plaque to a building in Pulaski Tennessee to "honor" that building as the birthplace of the original KKK.
There is little difference between the platforms of the KKK and Republican Party
The Dimwinger party is the party of the KKK.
Not TODAY
TODAY you cant differentiate between the agenda of the GOP and the agenda of the klan
That's bullshit, mainly because the Triple K is down to less than 200 members nationwide, more than half are law enforcement or embedded individuals working for news organizations keeping an eye on the extremists.
The KKK would totally disappear if it wasn't for the publicity given them by CNN and money provided by law enforcement officers paying dues.
The klan is a tool of the media and deep state, if you follow the money, not Republicans or conservatives at all.
The Klan is conservative and republican, sorry.
