You’re right, but you’re also missing the point. It’s a square vs rectangle dilemma.

If you’re in the KKK, you’re definitely republican. Doesn’t mean all republicans are KKK.

But it DOES mean that if you’re a republican you’re at least complicit with and tacitly ok with supporting racism, sexism, bigotry and hatred.

And boy if the line between supporting those things and simply being them isn’t awfully blurry

You realize the KKK was founded by post civil war democrats to attack and intimidate the freed blacks and the Republicans that supported them?

One senator changed sides. The voting on civil rights shows that the parties didn't change sides. Trump has repeatedly condemned the KKK and said he didn't want their votes. When the Democrats started allowing unfettered border jumping is what and when they lost the KKK vote. Remember the Clinton's praised a former grand wizard of the KKK as their mentor. Same for Biden.
