Need to call them the democrat mob. They have a long history of militant groups like the KKK established to harrass republicans.

Exactly right. Violent Democrat mobs arose during Reconstruction and their tactics haven't changed one bit across the centuries. There were many Democrat vigilante groups like the KKK; it was just the most infamous group...
Racial Violence in Reconstruction

More premeditated was the violence committed by organized vigilante groups, sometimes called nightriders or bushwhackers. Groups of nightriders—called so because they often operated at night, under cover of darkness and wearing disguises—sought to curtail African American political involvement by harassing and killing black candidates and office holders and frightening voters away from the polls. They also aimed to limit black economic mobility by terrorizing freedpeople who tried to purchase land or otherwise become too independent from the white masters they used to rely on. They were terrorists and vigilantes, determined to stop the erosion of the antebellum South, and they were widespread and numerous, operating throughout the South. The Ku Klux Klan emerged in the late 1860s as the most infamous of these groups.

Unfortunately, most history texts refuse to call them DEMOCRAT mobs.
