This should be alarming, right?

The KKK is buoyed by this change in the political wind, but it doesn't imply the converse, that Trumpers embrace racism or the KKK. We know some do though.

There's racists among every party and every race.

However, I wonder if most people understand that the KKK was the enforcement arm of the Democratic party for many years and was also founded by the democrats. I also wonder if people know that George Wallace, the 2 time Dem presidential candidate in the 60s, was a symbol of segregation and had close ties to the KKK.

Apparently, the fake news media does not:

Oh and this tidbit, which I enjoyed:

There is a reason I don't watch mainstream news. It smells of commie perfume.

You do realize that the Democrats (Conservatives) of the time when the KKK came about and the Republicans of Lincoln (Liberals) are the exact opposite of what they are now? The Dixie-Crats, as they were called, are now Republicans (Conservatives). Similarly, the Republicans of Lincoln are pretty much Democrats (Liberals) now.

Why should I realize that? CNN and MSNBC do not share your views on that subject, either. Otherwise, they'd not be of the opinion that George Wallace was a Republican.
Also, George Wallace was the Dem nominee in the 1960s. This is just slightly after the KKK was founded in the 19th century. Maybe the Democrats and Republicans flip flopped in the 1960s? Tell me, I don't know.
After all, I'm just a poor immigrant and I'm not familiar with your strange country.

Err...what? How does the 19th century equate with 1960s? The 19th Century was the 1800s, the KKK was founded after the US Civil war in the 1870s or 1880s. 1960 was 20th Century.

As to the Democrats and Republicans flip-flopping, it happened over the course of a century from the US Civil War until the start of the Civil Rights movement in 1950s. The northern Democrats flipped relatively early with the southern Democrats (why they're called Dixie-Crats) didn't finish flipping until the 1950s/60s. One of the Republican heroes, Strom Thurmond, was a Dixie-Crat before he switched parties in 1964.

Hypocrisy at it's finest (one of my major pet peeves and when I notice I do it, I get even more mad at myself for doing). The fact that people that screamed bloody murder about Clinton doing it and then turning a blind eye on Pence doing the same.

The difference is, that Pence was not a pivotal part of a sitting US government, thereby not in danger of giving out government secrets. I understand that Indiana's State secrets are of vast interest to Rusisa and China, so you might be on to something here.

BTW, I also have a private email. Now I'm beginning to wonder if the state secrets of Northridge might be compromised. Good thing I saw your post.

I shall delete my email account immediately!

Ummm...they've already noted that some of the emails that Pence sent was to FBI concerning potential terrorist activity in Indiana. I don't know about you, but if you think Clinton's private email server was an issue and you don't think Pence sending sensitive emails from an AOL account, you're being a hypocrit.
