The KKK did rise during the time of the Civil war, when the south was the stronghold of the "Conservative Democrats". When the Democrats abandoned conservatism, the KKK switched to follow the GOP.

Finally. Someone with a brain. The left pushes that out of history. Their new tactics of oppression is identity politics.

In 1866 Robert E Lee counseled southerners not to resume fighting, of which Grant said Lee was "setting an example of forced acquiescence so grudging and pernicious in its effects as to be hardly realized". Lee joined with Democrats in opposing the Radical Republicans who demanded punitive measures against the South, distrusted its commitment to the abolition of slavery and, indeed, distrusted the region's loyalty to the United States. Lee supported a system of free public schools for blacks, but forthrightly opposed allowing blacks to vote.

Past Klan presence also helps to explain the most significant shift in regional voting patterns since 1950: the South's pronounced move toward the Republican Party. While support for Republican candidates has grown region-wide since the 1960s, we find that such shifts have been significantly more pronounced in areas in which the KKK was active. The Klan helped to produce this effect by encouraging voters to move away from Democratic candidates who were increasingly supporting civil rights reforms, and also by pushing racial conflicts to the fore and more clearly aligning those issues with party platforms. As a result, by the 1990s, racially-conservative attitudes among southerners strongly correlates with Republican support

Hillarys mentor is was a klan leader look it up, Have you seen all the many kkk killings ? No you have not . That you see on the left

So you're a leftie, Purgie?

In a 1993 Byrd said:

“… It’s easy to state what has been my biggest mistake. The greatest mistake I ever made was joining the Ku Klux Klan. And I’ve said that many times. But one cannot erase what he has done. He can only change his ways and his thoughts. That was an albatross around my neck that I will always wear. You will read it in my obituary that I was a member of the Ku Klux Klan.”

Speaking to the same network in 2006, Byrd said again: “I’ve never hesitated to say that was the greatest mistake of my life. It will always be there. And it will be in my obituary.”

In his 2005 memoir “Child of the Appalachian Coalfields,” Byrd wrote at length about what he called the “extraordinarily foolish mistake” of joining the KKK

420,000 Service men died in WWII fighting Fascism. They would be know as ANTFIA (ANTI-FASCIST) today

didn't they die fighting social democrats?

WWII. That's a war from the olden times.

You seriously need to look things up.

"Social democracy is objectively the moderate wing of fascism.... These organisations (ie Fascism and social democracy) are not antipodes, they are twins." - Joseph Stalin 1924

Pretty obvious no one here was fighting moderates there from 1939 to 1945.
Don't tell Stalin tho, don't want to confuse the Commie.

ANTIFA is not new. Antifa groups date the origins of their movement to fights against European fascists in the 1920s and 1930s.

As long as they stand against Nazis and Fascists, I'll support their efforts.

Far-right politics are politics further on the right of the left-right spectrum than the standard political right, particularly in terms of extreme nationalism, nativist ideologies, and authoritarian tendencies.

The term is often used to describe Nazism, neo-Nazism, fascism, neo-fascism and other ideologies or organizations that feature ultranationalist, chauvinist, xenophobic, racist, anti-communist, or reactionary views. These can lead to oppression, violence, forced assimilation, ethnic cleansing, and even genocide against groups of people based on their supposed inferiority, or their perceived threat to the native ethnic group, nation, state, national religion, dominant culture or ultraconservative traditional social institutions.

Hitler had a large following as does Trump. Different era, same ideology.

Antifa are anti-fascist (hence the name which is short for anti-fascist, git it?).
Oh, and they're anarchists.

Granted, anarchists wouldn't make it to the end of the day without lapsing into typical social hierarchies, but they'd still make for poor fascists, paling in comparison to say, you cult of personality addicted screaming ninnies. Sheesh, y'all elected a reality tv show celebrity to adore for cryin' out loud.

"tell-it-like-he-sees-it New Yorker, and that's it."

Stick to the dust heap trailer park out in sticks you pretend you reside in and leave your defining of what is us to us who live here, Drumpf is about as New Yorker as the Clintons gone Upstate or those Hollywooders slumming it in the Hamptons. An uncouth elistist narcissist who grew up in the glorious isolation devoid of interaction with so much as his own next door neighbors as afforded by his rich daddy.
He's a tell-it-like-the-clueless-dolts-wish-to-see-it con man, a charlatan selling gullible weak minded fools with poorly developed sense of self and worth snake oil squeezed out of the desiccated remains of his crowd stirring role model Hitler and that's it.

Ain't comfy with that? Cool, welcome ta tha club.

Same wha?

Never switched. The KKK is still mostly left wing. NeoNazi are left wing. The N.S.M or National Socialist Movement is a white supremacist group. They are NOT right wing extremist. That's false indoctrination that the left ignores. There is no such thing as a right wing socialist. Some KKK are right wing but they reside in the Tea Party not the Republican party. Their ideology is to have a country ran only by the white man and they want a bigger government to keep minorities in check k and to make the white man superior economically by the means of socialism.

One must remember that the first inmates of the first concentration camp, Dachau, were members of Germany's leading socialist parties, the SPD and the KPD.

In sum, there is no good reason to regard the NSDAP's use of the terms "socialist" or "worker's party", or the anti-capitalist tone of some of the party's pronouncements, as anything other than cynically propagandistic. If it doesn't walk like a duck, quack like a duck, swim like a duck, or fly like a duck, then calling it a duck doesn't make it a duck.

KKK endorsed Trump. Their own rules state that they stand with the right.

I've got a lot more than that but I'd thought I'd ask them myself about this particular controversy

Well I did an email interview with them to see where they stand... ask they said at first but they no longer do. I thought I'd ask them myself....
