There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." - Isaac Asimov

Thats like saying hitler was a bad apple of the nazi movement.
Sorry but you cant pick and choose what parts of your movement are part of your movement. Black lives matter ignores racial and criminal statistics and facts and preachs everyone is against blacks and they matter more than whites and constantly harass or threaten those that are not block. THey cause civil unrest and riots and blame race for shit that race had nothing to do with. BLM is no better than the KKK.
Here are the KKK / Neo-Nazi endorsements from the rally today:
Donald Trump (of course) Republican for POTUS
David Duke Republican for Senate
Arthur Jones Republican for Congress
Rick Tyler Republican for Congress
My nephew said he thought he caught another name but the guy actually giving the endorsement speech kept mumbling and stopping to say things away from the mic under his breath.

Just link us southern strategy and be done with it, you want to crucify us for the deeds of our ancestors, we get it. But as you been told these folks are a dieing breed, they are few in numbers like a Hilary rally. Don't let them ruffle your feathers so much, laugh at thier stupidity, they are the joke.
"It doesn't matter if you believe me or not but common sense doesn't really work here. You're mad, I'm mad. We're all MAD here."
Just a few years back the RNC Chairman himself apologized for the continued use of the Southern Strategy to build a coalition of bigots and morons for the votes they can't outright steal through mass voter disfranchisement of US citizens. They only endorsed Republican candidates at this latest KKK / Neo-Nazi rally, for example.
Take it up with Republicans, I guess?

What's with you folks on the left these days snipping off folks words when you quote them?
And the lefts been race baiting the Black and Mexican population since longer than I've been alive, shocker that such tactics work for votes..it's almost like humans are tribal or something.

No need for the victim complex, I was simply highlighting which part of your post I was responding to.
Despite whatever fantasies are unraveling in your subjective reality here is no direct Democratic equivalent to the Southern Strategy (which even most Republicans admit). Period.

Again, there is no direct equivalent. The Democrats, for example, don't target racists / misogynists / homophobes for their votes. On the other hand Republicans have admitted to desperately relying on a coalition of bigots and morons for the votes they can't outright steal. Huge (or "yuge" in your language) difference.

Considering there have been a few murders... that have been high profile, they're not that hard to find.

I'm trying to figure out where the OP was talking about tolerating anyone to begin with.
This forum is like a serious conservative shithole lately.
Mention the KKK and people bringing up BLM, like what?!
Seriously, I think it's disgusting they are on the steps of the PA Capitol days before the election waving around guns and confederate flags telling people to vote for Trump, Duke and other racist Republicans "or else" with local police as their private security. I don't understand how anyone could be OK with that and still consider themselves American.
The rush to false equivalencies does reveal their unhinged desperation, at the very least.
