GOP Rep. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania said in a closed door briefing with lawmakers on Tuesday that the Ku Klux Klan is the “the military wing of the Democratic party” and that migrants coming to the US “have no interest in being Americans,” according to audio of Perry’s comments shared with CNN.
can you even imagine a single member of the KKK being a democrat?
A lot of local politics takes place in these very well-financed and well-organized partisan units that operate independent of the national scene. A big part of the Democratic Party in West Virginia has always kinda sucked - putting up guys like Joe Manchin and Jim Justice (who won as a Democrat and immediately flipped to Republican) - without any real respect for popular sentiments in the state. Kentucky Party Democrats put up a “Pro-Trump” candidate Amy McGrath in 2020. Ohio Democrats (other than Sherrod Brown) are almost universally awful, in their habit of supporting climate denialism and copaganda. My own mayor, John Whitmire, has been friendly with Greg Abbott, Rick Perry, and the Bushs since he took office in the state senate in 1983.
So yes. I can very easily imagine a batch of die-hard Zell Miller democrats camped out in a backwater Florida county that think their party has been taken over by Woke Soy Antifa Communists like Joe Biden.

All very fair - depressing yet plausible.
