Life is Good
The Democratic Party of the 60s had two wings. A liberal wing, and a conservative wing. The KKK was part of the conservative wing.
JFK was part of the liberal wing, and the very reason he visited Dallas on that fateful day is because Texas was a bedrock of conservative Democrats, and Governor Connally was a key leader of that wing. JFK was going there to woo the Governor into supporting him and the conservative wing for his re-election.
At least as far back as the Great Depression there were liberal and conservative wings of the Democratic Party. FDR's own Vice President, John Garner (who was also from Texas), ran against New York liberal FDR for the 1940 nomination precisely because he was disgusted with FDR's liberal domestic policies and couldn't take it any more. That's how Wallace ended up as VP.
But you can't tell the tards any of this. Their propaganda outlets absolutely depend on their ignorance of facts and history.
This history professor -- and standard bearer of the GOP for a brief moment ---
acknowledged what you are saying:
"No Republican here should kid themselves about it: the greatest leaders in fighting for an integrated America in the 20th century were in the Democratic Party. The fact is, it was the liberal wing of the Democratic Party that ended segregation. ....And the fact is, every Republican has much to learn from studying what the Democrats did right." - Newt Gingrich
