Psssshaw. The parties have both done a 180. I’m sure you’ve been told that too.

The Ministry of Propaganda has no relation to the truth.

Note the argument veers toward a defense of the confederacy as they dance around the old “Civil War wasn’t about slavery” proposition.

Yeah, we enslaved blacks and fought to the death to keep our slaves, but.... it wasn’t really exactly officially “us” we were just the ones doing it.

Slavery, Jim Crow, KKK, segregation, etc. were what established a big portion of the Democrat Party’s base of power. To suggest otherwise is fake history.

It's an oversimplification to say Democrats supported slavery and the KKK. They were actually against them, but... but the Republicans needed a scapegoat.

Because Lincoln was a slave trader, ya see, and he... he scalped Indians for a living. Yeah.

“Historians agree that although factions of the Democratic Party did majorly contribute to the Civil War's start and KKK's founding, it is inaccurate to say the party is responsible for either.”

Unreal. Embarrassingly stupid.

USA Today rated “false,” the paper began, “Claim: The Democratic Party started the Civil War to preserve slavery and later the KKK.”

So USAToday is saying the South didn't start the Civil War to preserve slavery? That's how I read it, USAToday...

All the people they have a problem with are Democrats. The KKK were ALL democrats. Republicans were the enemy. Republicans were making sure that slaves were given a wage, and were free. Not sure it worked too well. But democrats were the south. Republicans started as an anti-slavery party. And it has been won ever since. It was the republicans that got the equal rights bill passed in the 60s. The democrats could not get 50% of their party.

The other thing that’s really funny is that Andrew Jackson, whom they hate- and he was an awful person, pro-slavery, a cruel slave owner himself, drove the Indians out everywhere and did so with great violence, tried to drive the Spanish out of Florida but not through a fair fight, hated Catholics and foreigners - was the founder of the Democratic Party.

Wonder how they’re going to explain that? But actually, Dems never have to explain anything.

Just wondering...

The KKK democrat - - so was George Wallace (who stood in the schoolhouse to stop black children from entering, and Bull Conner (who set his dogs on MLK) and EVERY thug in the White Citizen's Council... They were ALL democrats.

And today?

Democrats still rule with intimidation. They burned Churches in the Jim Crow South. Democrats burn churches today. Democrats faked crimes against the powerless like Emmett Til and their boys in the press went along with it... just like today they fake crimes against Trump supporters.

The soul of the KKK is the same - democrat thugs are the same - their boys in the press that look away are still the same. The only change is choice of victim - once black - now traditional Americans.

Wow.

Orwell’s “1984,” turned into a documentary.

Up next, “Animal Farm.”

“We choose truth over facts.”

If the facts contradict the narrative, the facts lie.

Pointing out this little historical fact, therefore, is racist.

The KKK was explicitly anti-Republican at its founding.

And the KKK was a terrorist insurgency group that stepped in after the Civil War and lasted for nearly a century.

Imagine if we treated the US civil war the way we counted the duration of the Iraq War including time of reconstruction after toppling Saddam while we fought foreign national “insurgents”.

“The article is made up of “yes, but…” concessions. Link squirmed, “Historians agree that although factions of the Democratic Party did majorly contribute to the Civil War’s start and KKK’s founding, it is inaccurate to say the party is responsible for either.”

Hypocrite Dims!!!!!!

The believe in collect “white guilt” and collective “white privilege” but do not believe in collective guilt for Democrats.

So which is it Democrats? Children inherent the sins and guilt & punishment for the deeds of their parents, or they don’t???
