Why do they stand with the Trump voters? And if it's the dem's creation, fine, they take that L. But they seemed to latch on to the republican side. Why's that?
Also, I should say, dems can have their idiotic groups like antifa which need to be addressed.
But I always find it funny that right leaning folks here like to refer to the past as if there aren't neo nazis or KKK members sporting the red hats?
GOP can ignore the Southern Strategy to their heart's content - but the GOP has always been bigoted. Before the Southern Strategy, the GOP of today were the Democrats of yesterday.
The 'Democrats' of the 60's - opposed to the Civil Rights Act - ARE today's Republican party.
Quote:
In American politics, the Southern strategy refers to a Republican Party electoral strategy to increase political support among white voters in the South by appealing to racism against African Americans.[1][2][3] As the civil rights movement and dismantling of Jim Crow laws in the 1950s and 1960s visibly deepened existing racial tensions in much of the Southern United States, Republican politicians such as presidential candidate Richard Nixon and Senator Barry Goldwater developed strategies that successfully contributed to the political realignment of many white, conservative voters in the South who had traditionally supported the Democratic Party rather than the Republican Party.[4] It also helped to push the Republican Party much more to the right.[4]

When you get your "facts" from Wikipedia, you're more than likely to be wrong than right.
The "Southern Strategy" has been debunked numerous times. Your big ol' switch contained ONE person.
I know you aren't talking about the KKK. Senator Byrd was not a Republican.
Even if Senator Byrd, wasn't a Republican, the KKK clearly align with the Republican party. You can use Mr.Byrd all you want but the KKK, aren't from the New York's, San Fran's and Austin's almost every place the KKK is located is dominated or predominantly a Republican area. Tell me what about the democratic platform appeals to the KKK and Neo-Nazis? I'm sure they loved Obama,as he represent their values perfectly .
If the KKK are Republicans then BLM and Anti-fa members must be registered Republicans. We can pretend, that Charlottesville Neo-Nazis and KKK members at the "Unite the Right" rally were al secretly Hillary voters, and I'll pretend that Anti-fa's candidate for president was Donald Trump.
Trump has a Jewish son in law, put a catholic on the supreme court, had Kanye West and Jim Brown at the white house, and was in my town last night campaigning for a catholic house and senate candidate.
If Trump is a klansman then he is not very good at it.

Ah yes, because no one in history has ever surrounded themselves with token minorities to make themselves look accepting.
