Propaganda uses constant repetition to brainwash the mob. The pseudocon propagandists repeat over and over that Democrats founded the KKK. They repeat over and over again the KKK was Democrats.
This is what is know as a lie of omission, and it is a huge one.
The tards' puppet masters don't tell the tards there was a huge KKK presence in the Republican party. They leave that part out.
The tards' puppet masters don't tell the tards the KKK is a right wing organization.
The tards' puppet masters don't tell the tards the KKK is a Christian terrorist organization.
A critical component of propaganda is to get the tard herd to constantly rehash the half truths and lies so they don't stop to THINK about what is right in front of their faces. In this way, the tards stop seeing what is right in front of their faces.
And in this way, we get the hilarious result of the tards thinking "KKK" and "modern liberal Democrats" are synonymous.
you fail to mention that the KKK Democrats were furious with Johnson when he backed the Equal Rights bill and headed over to the Republicans because they were for states rights.....that's how the Rs got besmirched with associations with the KKK.....
They did all that, but decades before '64 the Klan had heavily infiltrated the midwest, New England and the west, and when related to politics that meant Republicans. All of that is a consequence of which party is established in that area. If you were Klan in Georgia you were likely to be a Democrat simply because everybody, Klan or not, was likely to be Democrat. If you were Klan in Maine you were prolly Republican simply because everybody, Klan or not, was Republican. And the opposition to the Klan in the South came from other Democrats and opposition in Maine etc came from other Republicans.
Of course this is all coincidental, not causational.
