Yup!!!!!!
People love to say “the parties switched sides” whenever the KKK and Democrats come up. They didn’t.
The Ku Klux Klan was founded in 1865 by Confederate veterans in Tennessee. It operated as a terrorist arm of the Democratic Party in the South to stop black people and Republicans from voting during Reconstruction. For the next hundred years, the South was a one party Democratic region. Jim Crow laws, segregation, poll taxes, and the Klan itself were enforced under Democratic governors, legislatures, and sheriffs.
Yes, some prominent Democrats had direct ties. Senator Robert Byrd was a Klan recruiter and organizer in the 1940s. Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black was a former Klansman. That wasn’t fringe it was part of the Democratic power structure in the South.
The “they switched” claim doesn’t hold up either. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 passed with a higher percentage of Republican votes than Democratic votes. Southern Democrats led the filibuster against it. Almost no Southern Democratic members of Congress switched parties right after. The South kept electing Democrats for decades afterward. What actually happened was a slow realignment over 30–40 years driven by more than just race economics, culture, religion, and national politics all played roles.
History isn’t both sides. The Klan’s founding and power base were Democratic, and no amount of rewriting changes that.

🚨 WTF?! Video shows a male student BRUTALLY beating a female student on an Ohio school bus while NOBODY INTERVENES
This should be a national outrage!
The bus was carrying students to Mahoning Valley Community School in Youngstown. He can be seen repeatedly punching her and JUMPING ON HER 😡
The bus driver and aide never stepped in.
Boardman Local Schools has now put the aide ON LEAVE and admits parents weren't told how bad it was until DAYS later
Hold the thug, the driver and the parents accountable!

So college girls making a “monkey noises”, makes national news.
When a black teenager boy severely beats a defenseless teenage white girl.
Silence…
Crickets…
Gotta love 1 sided outrage!!!
Yes, Jensen Huang slept with a Chinese spy, but never forget that Eric Swalwell also slept with a Chinese spy while sitting on an intelligence committee.
Democrats allowed him to stay on the intelligence committee after he was caught.
@grok please confirm.

I’m so over this guy!!!
BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Ukraine's President Volodomyr Zelenskyy just EXPOSED that someone in the Trump Administration or allied with Elon Musk is once again preventing Ukraine from using StarShield's technology. This in-kind contribution to Putin's war must be stopped.

Your husband was there you creepy bitch
Are we ever going to see the full Epstein files? @maddow and I discussed on #HighStakes with @karaswisher.
Yeah like Eric Shartwell leaking classified information to a Chinese spy!!!!
Did you speak up about any of that you old corrupt fucktard!!!
Despite Jensen Huang’s resignation, Congress must demand answers from Mr. Huang and others at Nvidia about how they may have put U.S. national security at risk.
The Trump administration must also answer for what it did once it learned about Mr. Huang’s relationship with a suspected Chinese intelligence asset. Were government officials told not to investigate because of Trump’s relationship with Mr. Huang? What did Trump know when he personally invited Mr. Huang aboard Air Force One?
Americans deserve to know that those at the highest levels of power are putting America first, not their bottom line or their personal friendships.
