Fine, if you’re that intent on holding to your simplistic version of history, in spite of evidence to the contrary, I’m not going to waste my time talking you out of it.
So if I don’t agree with you then it is a waste of time?
The fact still remains that the KKK was a terrorist wing of the democrat party and they targeted republicans.
As with any movement or human trait you will never have an absolute tie between just one group and another so of course there have been republicans that have been racist or have been members of the KKK. Just as today we have liberal republicans as well, the lines get blurred sometimes and that is even used as a stradegy of democrats.
But you haven’t, imo, given evidence to make the statement ‘there were many republicans in the KKK’ true. There were not ‘many republicans’ in the KKK and the fact is that republicans were targets of the KKK.
See what we put up with!
