      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.

    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 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.

      They’d all have to move north and emancipate the slaves though. Something tells me they’d be on the wrong side of that history too.

    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.

      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.

    As with anything GOP-related, if they’re projecting it onto Democrats, they’re guilty of it themselves.

    Grooming children? Catholic church, which is largely Republicans in America

    Anti-LGBTQ+? The number of GOP members who have been caught with same sex partners of both underage and adult varieties makes that laughable.

    Pro-life? Several GOP members have secretly paid for abortions.

    Economy crashes or stalls? It’s because of policies that a Republican-led government made before handing the mess off to a Democrat.

    I’ll bet cash money this guy has a clan outfit in his closet.

    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.

    This chucklefuck can’t even get his story straight.

    According to him, is the DNC pro or anti immigration?

    According to him, is the KKK pro or anti immigration?

    Reactionary asshole.

      To be fair, Biden and Eric Adams can’t quite seem to figure out where the fuck they stand on immigration either. Hell, The Obama Administration RAMPED UP deportation during it’s era. Ignorance and irrationality are endemic among both parties

    That was true when there were Dixiecrats. But they all jumped to the Republican party when Reagan was in office.

        They’ve been doing it for years. Like the “National Socialists are leftists because socialist is in the name” thing. Ignoring that in Europe at the time, everybody was basically calling themselves socialist to chase the votes of the working population.

        They aren’t stupid, it’s intentional, to muddy the waters for people that aren’t very familiar with that history.
