I actually heard about the Klan when I was living in CA. Democrats like nice weather too. That’s why the state is fraught with degenerates, serial killers, corrupt politicians, etc.
I’d be very surprised. I researched the history of the Klan a few years ago & I don’t believe they’ve ever been in California, IIRC. Unless it was during Woodrow Wilson’s time & I didn’t delve too deeply into that.
I’m real surprised that some groups claiming to be’’Klans’’ have neo-nazi affiliates/ associates/ members & leaders/ whatever. The 2 ideologies are incompatible. Klans require their members to be Christian. Neo-nazis are apparently Odinist or atheists.
I’m not sure at what point democrats & republicans ‘’switched places’’. During Lincoln’s time, republicans/ Northerners were the liberals & democrats/ Southerners were conservative.
I guess political affiliations were the only thing that really changed, though, because the South is still predominantly conservative & the liberals are in the majority up north.
