Look dumb ass the majority of the Democratic party through the 40's was conservative, that did not change till well into the 50's and 60's.
You may have something there, just look at the KKK. When the Dems abandoned the Klan in the 1960s the RepubliKlan Party took over the KKK.
To be fair, the Klan has never had political affiliations. It would be more accurate to say the racists (in the South) left the D party for the R party (once Strom Thurmond did the unthinkable and switched in '64 it became thinkable).
Just as worth noting, they didn't go to the R party because it was the party of racism; they went to the R party because it was the party of conservatism -- which is what they always were anyway. Racism is by definition conservative. That's exactly why all those schisms kept happening. 1964.... 1948... 1924.... 1860...
ROFL! It's impossible to express in mere words how full of shit you are. The Klan has always been a creature of the Democrat party. You have to be brain damaged not to know that.
What's impossible to express in words is how you find your way to the power switch on a computer, let alone get food into your own mouth.
Number one there is no such thing as the "Democrat Party". Never has been. Number two, the Klan wasn't started, maintained or continued by any political party. It was formed in the first iteration by six Confederate soldier veterans (around a campfire in Pulaski Tennessee on Christmas Day 1865). Soldiers, not politicians. That was one of several vigilante groups founded by Confederate Soldiers at the same time for the same purpose -- to deny the outcome of, and continue the cause of, the Civil War. Another such group was called the Knghts of the White Camellia. We remember the Klan better than the others because while these groups died out in their own time (the original Klan was defunct by 1880), it got restarted in a more recent century.
In 1915, exactly a hundred years ago, inspired by the racist D.W. Griffith film "Birth of a Nation", a Georgia salesman name William Simmons resurrected the Klan in its second iteration. Registered it with the Georgia secretary of State, the whole shebang. Again, a salesman, not a politician. This second iteration adopted (from the film) the white sheets and burning crosses imagery we've come to know, and broadened the original KKK's hate targest to include not just blacks but Jews, Catholics, communists, adulterers and loose women. They saw and presented themselves as a social (not political) white protestant Christian moral police force.
This second Klan, fueling from the fearmongering of the worst period of racial strife in this nation's history (not unlike today's Islamophobia) was more organized and spread much further than the first, making inroads ito the midwest and west, especially Indiana and Colorado, where it got governors and senators elected, and the city council of Anahiem (all of the foregoing Republicans btw) as well as in Ohio and the Pacific northwest. At the same time there were Democrat Klan getting elected in the South -- which of course was a one-party State; if you wanted to be elected to
anything in the South you either ran as a Democrat, or you lost to one. Then there was John Walton, the Democratic Governor of Oklahoma, who after taking office just after the infamous Tulsa Race Riot, tried to drive the Klan out, but the Klan got Walton removed.
So to the extent the KKK dabbled in politics at all, its members ran as Democrats in the South, as Republicans in the West and Midwest -- in other words whatever worked for access to power in that setting. That's because politics wasn't its objective; its driving force was socio-cultural, however perverse that cause was. Most Klan didn't dabble in politics at all. But they ALL dabbled in Christian-based moralism and racism.
This is history, Finger-boy. Don't try to bullshit me. Cultural values is where racism happens. Cultural values is where everything happens. This latter-day revisionism summa y'all try to concoct and keep tossing on the wall like pasta to see if it sticks just to try to score points in some imaginary political football game is really kind of juvenile . Also kinda befits your stupid avatar.
Grow the **** up. You embarrass yourself.
