Then why are they matching and getting cheers at GOP conferences? Are they stupid?
Their base is stupid, so at best they’re lying openly because their base doesn’t know any better
Funny, they only seem to ever run as republicans.
The military wing of the Democratic Party is the navy in my experience, but the military wing of the American left wants to fight the kkk everywhere they see them.
Apart from the huge logical leaps, the KKK’s agenda so closely aligns with the GOP’s and Trump’s, can you even imagine a single member of the KKK being a democrat? Being a democrat is like an excommunicable sin for these groups.

A lot of local politics takes place in these very well-financed and well-organized partisan units that operate independent of the national scene. A big part of the Democratic Party in West Virginia has always kinda sucked - putting up guys like Joe Manchin and Jim Justice (who won as a Democrat and immediately flipped to Republican) - without any real respect for popular sentiments in the state. Kentucky Party Democrats put up a “Pro-Trump” candidate Amy McGrath in 2020. Ohio Democrats (other than Sherrod Brown) are almost universally awful, in their habit of supporting climate denialism and copaganda. My own mayor, John Whitmire, has been friendly with Greg Abbott, Rick Perry, and the Bushs since he took office in the state senate in 1983.
So yes. I can very easily imagine a batch of die-hard Zell Miller democrats camped out in a backwater Florida county that think their party has been taken over by Woke Soy Antifa Communists like Joe Biden.
All very fair - depressing yet plausible.
Being in the KKK is a good way to be shunned by every single progressive too.
Really weird thing he’s trying to do here, but logic certainly was abandoned long ago.
It’s an incredibly common talking point fed to reactionaries by right-wing media.
Try telling a Republican that everyone in the KKK who votes does so for Republicans and watch the denials and accusations fly despite it being perfectly obvious.
…Who does he think is joining the current incarnations of the KKK? Does he really think that the people in the current KKK are Democratic voters? Really?
The KKK did NOT endorse Hillary in 2016, nor Biden in 2020. Guess who they endorsed, Mr. Perry? Pro-Tip: He’s running on your side this year and is currently grousing in a courtroom as they determine if he broke the law or not…
They don’t care if their claims are true. Lies spread more easily than the truth.
No, actually, he really believes it. It was said in a closed door meeting, not to a crowd of people.
[Insert “The What?”] meme here
So standard projection from the GOP. Nice of them to confirm that they consider the KKK to be their military wing, not that that’s a surprise to anyone.
The fucking White Supremacy people are just so fucking progressive right?
Well, given that Republicans understand progressivism as fascism, fascism as anything Democrats do, anything that Democrats do as everything they (Republicans) don’t like, then yes, that’s exactly what they believe. As such, they can disavow explicit racists and continue to be implicitly racist.
Heh. Keep trying blueby
I mean this is such obvious projection, they’re basically telling on themselves
Every accusation is a confession, as per standard procedure.
Almost as true as GOP being the sole defenders of LGBTQ+ rights…
Equally true as the GOP being the stalwart supporters of a woman’s right to choose, the champions of sensible gun control, and the sacred guardians of single payer universal healthcare.
I must compliment you both on the sick burn and for using a proper ellipses character.
iOS autocorrect generates them. I discovered this while attempting to use vim in an embedded terminal emulator.
Ah… I type them manually. Opt-; on Mac and hold the dot / period key on iOS.
That’s kind of evil. I hate it when I paste source code from a document and I have to fix non-ASCII characters that some overly clever UI inserted.
This guy has brain worms too
He got confused, he meant to say the police is the military ring of the KKK
If I ignored this guy the way he ignores modern history he wouldn’t have been fucking born…
I wonder who the KKK voted for
