re: USA Today: Fact Check Democratic Party Didn’t Start Civil War/ KKK

initial klan was started and funded by Democrats to act as the Democrats' street force, to go around and intimidate nondemocrats, both black and white. The reason people feared the Klan back then was because local Democrat politicians and national Democrat politicians supported the klan, and refused to use their police forces to stop them. They let the Klan run wild and continue spreading the message that was basically - "vote Democrat, or else."

Democrats have done the exact same thing with antifa and blm. These groups run wild, destroying shite, beating people, raping people... and local and national Democrat politicians support and endorse them. Refusing to allow their police forces to stop them. Antifa and blm's message is basically - "vote down or else. "


Initial klan was never really scolded for voter intimidation, neither are these new groups. But that is what it is. It's voter intimidation in its truest form and there are direct connections between antifa and blm...and many Democrat politicians.
