Honestly, modern incarnations of the KKK are so rare, the media has to fake them. The only time the KKK ever held any sort of power or cachet was when they were the militia wing of the Democrat party, terrorizing black folk. Now, no doubt, this has been whitewashed from the history books, and in fact a great many people reflexively believe that the Democrat party had nothing to do with slavery, or the oppression of blacks, or Jim Crow, or anything else regressive.

But yeah, I agree, just because they call themselves “Democrat” doesn’t make them “democratic” — just ask Bernie Sanders about superdelegates :)

I think at the end of the day, we are all the progeny of murderers, rapists, thieves, slavers, slaves, murder victims, rape victims, theft victims and every other possible combination you can think of. There is no society in the history of mankind that has been perfectly good, nor any society that has been perfectly evil.
