I'll assist you as well.

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.

There, now you aren't quite as ignorant on this subject any longer.

In the past Dems shared the views of Republicans today, and vice versa. Today, you won't find many Dems in the KKK ranks. For example, whose views on immigration do they share (Dem of GOP)? Does the south lean Dem or GOP? How about gay rights? The answers are obvious.

That's just your opinion.

Why would a member of the KKK favor the party that doesn't like the Second, is weak on the first, that essentially wants open borders and would love to force associations?

Hitler was big on public transportation as well as infrastructure projects, so does that mean Nazis would be Democrats?

You seem to not make the mental connection to understand this concept.

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.
That's just your opinion.

The Democrat is the fascist party of America today.

Correct, there is no longer a party of racism. That died out with the DNC a few decades ago.

Thanks for proving my point. Like I said, and answer is obvious. KKK views on immigrants, gays etc is in line with the GOP views.
