From the article:
The KKK had some requirements to join the organization.
You must h**e Republicans
You must h**e everyone who is non-white.
You must h**e Jews.
You must h**e Roman Catholics
And most of all you must be a Democrat.

Democrats are the Party of the KKK--Medium

From the article:
After the Civil War, the Republicans elected 23 African Americans, (13 of whom were ex-s***es) to Congress. It took the Democrats 60 more years to elect an African American to Congress. In the South the Democrats held out until 1973 to elect an African American. In Texas the Republican Party was founded African Americans in 1876
In 1865 100% of Republicans v**ed to free the s***es by passing the 13th Amendment. while 77% of Democrats v**ed against the measure. Three years later 100% of Republicans v**ed to give African Americans the same civil rights as w****s through the passage of the 14 Amendment, while 100% of Democrats v**ed against the measure. Two years later 100% of Republicans v**ed to guarantee the right to v**e for African Americans with the passage of the 15th Amendment, again every single Democrat v**ed against the measure.
When the Democrats were unsuccessful in their efforts to block Republican legislation, they founded the KKK. In 1872 the Democrats admitted forming the organization as an effort to stop the spread of the Republican Party in the South.
As recently as 2010 the Senate's President Pro Temp, was former KKK Exalted Cyclops--Robert Byrd...the Democrat Senator from West Virginia. (as an aside, not from the article:) Robert Byrd was a recruiter for the KKK in his 20s-30s
At the start of the 20th Century, the Democrats took control of Congress and promptly repealed every single Republican passed civil rights laws-it wasn't until 1957 that a civil rights bill passed.
In the meantime, Democrats passed the Jim Crow laws, poll taxes and literacy tests to prevent African Americans from electing Republicans.
By the 1960s the Republicans along with 36% of Democrats passed the 1964 Civil Rights Act-64% of Democrats opposed the bill. Democrat Senator William Fullbright filibustered the bill for 83 days.
And just because the Democrat Party started/repeats incessantly the big lie about "switching" parties it is pure propaganda to cover for their past;
The Big Lie: Democrats and Republicans Switched Sides on Race
https://lindasuegrimes.substack.com>p>the-big-lie-democrats-and-republicans
When confronted with inconvenient history of their party regarding the issue of race, the American Democratic Party and it's sycophants insist that the Republicans and Democrats simply switched positions on race, after the Republicans had ushered in the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This ludicrous claim can easily be laid to rest with a few pertinent facts.

No, not more likely. While the rebellious southerners of old may have been conservative Democrats and KKKers that is olden history. The southern states that were Democratic are now Republican, the brand of conservatives in the US. You can claim they never switched sides but that would not make sense. The Republicans used to be the party of enforcing federal power and is now the party of states rights....the same argument made by the former KKKers.
Happy self-deception.
