God first in life!! No DM's! U.S. Airforce vet. The Democrat Party is still racist/immoral, they just changed tactics. Some parody.

Republicans can mock the No Kings protests all the want, but the reality is it just grew from 6 million to 8 million people in a few months. 3,300 rallies in all 50 states, many in suburbs and small towns.
Meanwhile, Republicans in Congress see the writing on the wall. A record 36 are retiring early. Donald Trump is sitting around 40% approval at best, closer to the low 30s by some measures.
When a president is under 50%, their party historically loses an average of 34 seats in Congress. Democrats only need a handful of seats. The energy is real and it is growing.

@JessicaTarlov Lol, so have fewer people than voted for Trump by 10's of millions. You act like you have a majority of the population, but you really don't.

@ennui365 Because we don't jail people for their beliefs in this country. Only if you break the law.

@AZ_Brittney The ID you use is good enough to vote. It will be sufficient to register to vote as long as you can provide a birth certificate.

@Maga4liberty We dont go around acting like children with no sense.

@fair_p1ay @cjgproduxions @HooptieD Being conservative doesnt mean the people were not Democrats. Look it up.
English

@cjgproduxions @actos_non @HooptieD Just saying it again works with the weak minded base that you represent. Historically it is proven that Democrats founded the KKK. You have no basis to say they were anything else, yet you mindlessly repeat your approved talking point to hide your parties record of racism.
English

@cjgproduxions @fair_p1ay @HooptieD Your post reminded me that there are conservative Democrats even though the word conservative does not mean they align ideologically with Republican Conservatives.
English

@LorenJacks62 @cjgproduxions Actually, he does. You have to consider what 'conservative' meant during the time he is talking about.
English

@cjgproduxions Buck doesn't know his history. Not entirely shocking. 🤣
English

I will admit it never occurred to me to think of Democrats as being conservative because of how the word is often used and who it is used to imply. Although you are correct that the Democrats who formed the KKK were considered to have conservative views that aligned with the time period of Democrats living in the South.
English

**Yes — in the historical context of the 1860s, the people who founded the KKK were largely Southern Democrats who held conservative views for that time.** However, calling them “conservative Democrats” in the modern sense can be misleading.
---
## What was true at the time (1865)
* The KKK was founded in Pulaski during the Reconstruction era.
* Its founders were former Confederates.
* Most were aligned with the Democratic Party in the South.
Their views included:
* Opposition to Reconstruction.
* Opposition to civil rights for freed slaves.
* Support for maintaining the pre-war social order.
👉 Those positions would generally be described as **conservative for that era**.
---
## Why the wording matters
The confusion comes from mixing **modern labels** with **historical reality**:
* “Conservative Democrat” today usually means a moderate or center-right Democrat.
* In the 1860s, party platforms and ideologies were very different.
So while it’s **not wrong** to say the founders were:
> “Democrats with conservative views at the time”
…it’s **not quite accurate** to directly equate them with modern “conservative Democrats.”
---
## Bottom line
* The KKK was founded by **Southern Democrats in 1865**.
* Those individuals held **conservative views for their time**.
* But the term “conservative Democrat” as used today doesn’t perfectly match that historical group.

You have a bunch of people who voted against Trump to show up and act like children. News flash, you lost the election. Time to grow up. The number of people who showed up across the country is significantly lower than the number who voted against Trump. When more people show up than voted for Trump, let me know. Otherwise, you're still a bunch of childish losers who don't understand how our Constitution works. This is quite clear from how people like you treat our federal officers who are trying to do their jobs. You're all a bunch of insurrectionists. January 6th wasn't even a whole day of rioting; it lasted about 4 to 5 hours. You people can't get over yourselves, and you sure don't listen to anyone who doesn't believe like you.

@herotimeszero They have Constitutional rights just like anyone in America. Your problem is that you don't want to listen to any side but your own. Grow up and grow out of your hatred.

@cgb0673 Wow, did you learn that in kindergarten? To bad you didn't learn learn the Constitution and how to tell a king from a president.

I'm taking action on June 14 to remind Trump and his enablers that America has No Kings. Join me in Panama City Beach, FL to reject authoritarianism and show the world what democracy really looks like. app.sosha.ai/s/GNclVvVU

There are 6 white tour Buses parked on Hwy 98 at motels just past the Hathaway bridge where the No Kings event is to happen. Several from Texas and some from Tennessee. They rolled in yesterday here in Panama City Beach @catturd2 @LauraLoomer @RealHickory

@Heccles94 Yes, never forget the people like you who can't follow laws.

@LqLana Yeah, you had your say on election day. You lost!!! Time to grow up. You definitely don't speak for America.
