That was a few minutes of my life reading this poll and thread that I can’t get back. Grade school students know enough history to be aware of political change over the years in red states.
I didn't need to look it up, as anyone familiar with American history knows the answer. For those who didn't know, they could watch this short video showing the differences between the two parties.
It explains how the Democrats are also fascists, but they wont believe that either.
`
I got through 2 minutes of the video before I made the observation that I knew I was going to make: the man in the video is a complete idiot, speaking to idiots, relying on false premises and trendy internet sarcasm to make it seem as though he is not an idiot.
To be very clear, he basically says the Democrats are fascist and socialist. Which is stupid. Anyone who thinks either of the two major parties in America are either of those two things is an idiot. This isn't my opinion; it is a fact. This fact based on the definitions of these two words, to which neither party actually meets.
KKK’s official newspaper supports Donald Trump for president
It is called the Crusader — and it is one of the most prominent newspapers of the Ku Klux Klan.
Under the banner "Make America Great Again," the entire front page of the paper's current issue is devoted to a lengthy defense of Trump’s message — an embrace some have labeled a de facto endorsement. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.418ef65581b9
RACIST DONALD!
“Claiming a person can’t do their job because of their race is sort of like the textbook definition of a racist comment,” House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said in a reaction to Trump’s comments, though he clarified that he still endorses the nominee
( NOTE how Ryan says trump's comment is racist but continued to support trump)
LOOKS TO ME LIKE THE Rs are the current party of CHOICE for the KKK.
Resolved the KKK have PICKED the Republican party because you guys reflect their views. ie racist walls, lots of hate and anger etc....
hard luck OP , you wanted to know i just showed you who the KKK believe it the party of the KKK. And you are stuck with it. They love your rightwing hatefest they love the racism you guys are promoting, the violence and the jingoism.
Was the KKK pro-Confederacy then and are they pro-Confederacy now?
Eddie, cannot speak intelligently on the mindset of the KKK since I have never been a member, nor know anyone who is. Historically, they were pro-Confederacy, but what they believe or subscribe to today is beyond my knowledge. All I do know is that a decent number of southern Democrats still call themselves yellow dogs. Whether they are in fact members of the KKK is purely speculative, but they certainly are not Republicans.

By calling Bill Whittle an idiot, you undermine anything you might say beyond that.
Modern Democrats are in fact socialists, as the top two potus candidates proved. Sanders comes right out and says it, and Hillary tried to get to the political left of him. The JFK's of our history would be hard pressed to find the same (D) philosophy they once espoused.
As to being fascists, they are engaging in fascists behavior via violence to silence anyone who is not of their ideological beliefs. Now that does not mean all (D's) are like this, but the leadership of the DNC and their hired surrogates have been exposed.
I would note that you did not factually refute anything he said in the video. One wonders why?
USED to be the Democrats until the 60s, but then they felt LBJ betrayed them with the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act, and so switched to the Republicans gradually through the 70s and 80s
Nope. That is just Democrats trying to rewrite history because they can't confront the truth of their party.

That is because you are ignorant on the topic, so let me quickly educate you.
Since the DNC abandoned them, they have no party which supports racism. There is no "white people are superior" party for them to align.
This means they have to select a party based upon other priorities.
What are other issues important to the KKK:
1. The Second - They want to have their guns, and the party that supports the Second is the GOP.
2. The First - The KKK wants to be able to have their newsletters, their hate music and their rallies. They know the DNC is weaker on the First and is more likely to make more exceptions to the First for speech they don't like.
3. Freedom of association - The KKK can be busted up if the government is able to decide who you can and can't associate with. Once again, the GOP is less likely to pass such laws.
4. Immigration - The KKK doesn't like most foreigners. The GOP claims to be stronger on illegal immigration than the DNC, so it's only natural to side with the GOP on the border.
Neither party is the party of racism, which the KKK would really like, but one party is better on issues that do affect the KKK.

Now it's the Alt/Right...as far as the KKK has a party
I seem to recall that the earliest manifestation of the KKK (started by some Confederate just after the War) initially rather aligned themselves with the "Know Nothing" party, that started just before the Civil War; said 'know nothing' members were against immigrants and Catholics. Probably the Irish too.
