Democrats founded the KKK, but you're weren't going to give them credit
for that, were you chump?

Founded in 1865, the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) extended into almost every
southern state by 1870 and became a vehicle for white southern resistance
to the Republican Party’s Reconstruction-era policies aimed at
establishing political and economic equality for blacks. Its members waged
an underground campaign of intimidation and violence directed at white and
black Republican leaders. Though Congress passed legislation designed to
curb Klan terrorism, the organization saw its primary goal–the
reestablishment of white supremacy–fulfilled through Democratic victories
in state legislatures across the South in the 1870s. After a period of
decline, white Protestant nativist groups revived the Klan in the early
20th century, burning crosses and staging rallies, parades and marches
denouncing immigrants, Catholics, Jews, blacks and organized labor. The
civil rights movement of the 1960s also saw a surge of Ku Klux Klan
activity, including bombings of black schools and churches and violence
against black and white activists in the South.

Founding of the Ku Klux Klan

A group including many former Confederate veterans founded the first
branch of the Ku Klux Klan as a social club in Pulaski, Tennessee, in
1865. The first two words of the organization’s name supposedly derived
from the Greek word “kyklos,” meaning circle. In the summer of 1867, local
branches of the Klan met in a general organizing convention and
established what they called an “Invisible Empire of the South.” Leading
Confederate general Nathan Bedford Forrest was chosen as the first leader,
or “grand wizard,” of the Klan; he presided over a hierarchy of grand
dragons, grand titans and grand cyclopses.

Those Democrats are today's republicans. Today's dems are more closely
related to 1860s republicans.
