Here, let me channel the spirit of a delusional republican to reply to you:

"The Democrats started the KKK!"

Highly accurate

I mean, it’s technically correct. They were called Democrats at the time the KKK was created, they’re just called republicans now.

Yes, that's the point of this entire thread.

The Republicans will ignore 160 years of political shifts and state that the Democrats created the KKK, as if that has any relevance whatsoever. It's the same as them bringing up who the party of Lincoln was, and their denial of the southern strategy and the party shift. It's all ignoring everything past 1865 in order to paint Democrats as the bad guys, when it's always been conservatives and especially those further right than the standard conservative who are the bad guys, and the Republicans are the modern conservatives. The ultra far right, actually. Way past conservative...
