Cruz reminds AOC the Democrats founded the KKK and

[Slade3200]

Rather than celebrate their success over the last 60? LOL!

Huh?

 

[Burgermeister]

Huh?

Exactly.

 

[Slade3200]

Exactly.

Apparently so. None of you people can ever explain yourselves.

 

[BULLDOG]

The KKK is still filled with nothing but red-necks and Democrats.
The GOP has never had anything to do with the KKK.
Matter of fact, Democrats are trying to set up another KKK but this time instead of white sheets they're wearing black hoodies.

 

[frigidweirdo]

If AOC had a point she'd have made one. She didn't. As Democrat's do when they can't defend FACTS, she simply threw the race card with no substance behind it.

When facts present something that isn't true, then you've got a problem.

The Democrats in the Deep South were CONSERVATIVES back then.

Anyone who uses the argument "But democrats created the KKK" are doing so to present a false picture. AOC did not create the KKK, nor anyone alive. So....?

It's like saying "America isn't where it was when America was founded, so Americans have no right to American land", because we, on planet Earth, constantly move, so, within the universe, nothing is ever in the same place.

It's an argument for people who want to use "facts" for crap arguments.

 

[frigidweirdo]

Please provide proof of that from a reliable source.

"Because I said so" doesn't mean anything.

Problem is that people use Republican and Democrat to mean "conservative and liberal", which isn't the case.
The KKK is totally a conservative right wing thing. Doesn't mean all the Republican Party support it, or any of the Republican Party support it.

But then people are so used to "politics" being throwing crap at each other, they never got around to actually understanding the meaning of things.

 

[frigidweirdo]

Still Dems though

But these Dems were CONSERVATIVES, RIGHT WINGERS.....
It's literally choosing the one word that has changed, and trying to act smart for misleading.

 

[Vrenn]

It wasn't the party but it was democrats.

No way around that one

It was what would later become known as the Dixiecrats.

 

[Independent thinker]

Someone should remind Cruz that the KKK is a wholly republican organization in 2023

The Democratic party needs to cancel themselves for their past.

 

[Dadoalex]

does that mean Joe has to give up his lifelong membership

Every living member of the KKK including you and Cruz is Republican.

 

[Dadoalex]

I see Cruz has no idea who started the KKK, one guesses, it was not the Democratic Party.

But it was Republicans who enabled the creation and expansion of the Klan so that, tell me if this sounds familiar, the GOP could hold on to power.

 

[Dadoalex]

BS... but at least you didn't try that comical the parties switched

You loons are too easy

Every Klan member alive today is a Republican, like you.

 

[Dadoalex]

It was what would later become known as the Dixiecrats.

And then Republicans.

As the Democrats and the South became less racist overall the Dixiecrats became Republicans and we've observed the racist shift in the GOP over the last 40 years.

It's called the Southern Strategy.

 

[bodecea]

Any of those KKK founders still around?

 

[bodecea]

Every Klan member alive today is a Republican, like you.

1. Soldiers from the Rebel States started the first iteration of the KKK.

2. Northerner treated the former slaves like second class citizens too. Don't pretend they didn't.

3. The Dems held the majority in both chambers of Congress. In reality it was a coalition of Northern politicians who passed the civil rights bills of the 60's over the objections of the politicians of the former Rebel States.

Ted knows this. He's playing to the simps, the majority of the Neo-Base.

Klansmen, beside other diehard groups, violently resisted Reconstruction. Still defending the South, they fought Union Army occupation, Republican governments, and blacks’ freedom.

"'Racism'" is the trump card in the indictment of Republicans," points out Dr. Thomas Sowell of the Hoover Institute. "But the cold fact is that the whole Jim Crow era in the South was dominated by Democrats."

Because there was only the Democrat party in the South after the Insurgents drove the feds to end reconstruction and abandon the occupation of Louisiana. In La. where the militants killed thousands of Republicans and Freemen by 1877. The Dems had a firm grip on the South till the North passed the civil right and voting rights bills. Still the Southern Democrats were re-elected to Congress, but over time the GOP had a wedge in the South and they used it.
