We won’t win this being nice

Btw....the klan and the weathermen had not nothing in common...Polar opposites

And the the klan ostensibly democrats from Wilson through Johnson ...you could argue that though many klan leaned more Birchers .....the klan simply wasn’t that smart .....the White Citizens Council....sort of a fancy bloodless klan....were staunch John Birch society fans

The weatherman hated the democrat party and loathed LBJ

I know Glenn Beck and talk radio and NRO love to pimp simpleton political history

But it’s inaccurate ....wholly

And it pins hopes on the GOPe

Well I for one...learned my lesson the morning after the election when the Republican Party abandoned our president

Equating conservatism or constitutionalism with the GOPe from 1860-2021 is a lie ....simply put

The path of politics is far more complicated

It’s just how it is.....don’t take this personal please

All that aside this war however it turns won’t be won by the meek...it’ll be stoked initially by folks many here eschew.....

Democrat Enforcers
NEW Democrat Enforcers

Both became establishment.

Weather Underground ARE academia now

Their progeny are the law (District Attorney) and mentor presidents.

You let yourself fall into a Leftist media insinuation over the very conservative Citizen Council movement. They did not call themselves White Citizen Councils; that being a media labeling.

Incidentally, I believe the '20s Klan--before I was born--was more Republican than Democrat in Ohio & Indiana; but recognize it was bipartisan in many areas, while being countered more effectively by many truly Conservative Southern Democrats, such as Harry Byrd and Senator Underwood of Alabama!
