because they turned a blind eye to THE KKK and probably took care of Lincoln and probably gave rope to the klan since they owned textile industries during the gilded age, and excluded Chinese Americans in 1880s and were xenophobic then and now.

So stupid that even another DUmmie shoots it down right out of the gate:

Somebody REALLY needs to stop huffing glue.
Time for a history lesson since that DUmmy clearly has never had one:
1. It's very well known that the KKK was founded by Democrats who were former Confederates (Who initially were just bored with the civilian life they had returned to and decided to get a few laughs by dressing up as ghosts to scare people, then eventually worsened into violence and terrorism), and in their early years they targeted Republicans as much as blacks if not more so, because they blamed Republicans for all the problems that they believed Reconstruction caused for the South.
2. Lincoln was a Republican! So, his fellow Republicans had him assassinated?
3. This particularly shoots down that moron's "Turned a blind eye to the KKK" claim: Ulysses S. Grant, who as President had the Klan officially declared a terrorist group, was ALSO a Republican!
