Your instance hardly qualifies as ‘many’ republicans.

Yeah, you're right. Half the Indiana state legislature, all of them Republicans, plus the governor, plus every other statewide office, plus all 13 congressional seats from the state. Hardly anyone.

There were progressive republicans.

Gee, you think? Teddy Roosevelt, anyone?

The mainstay of the KKK was always as a terrorist wing of the democrat party and is well known for targeting and murdering republicans.

Only in its Reconstruction iteration. Later Klans had other agendas. The 1920s Midwestern Klan was more concerned with Catholics, Jews and immigrants.

I didn’t say it was ‘hardly anyone’. I simply do not agree with the statement ‘many republicans’ being KKK. I do not see how your example shows it to be ‘many republicans either. The majority of KKK support was entirely democrats during all of its stages and their targets were republicans.
