Who would never be seen with a commie socialist like JL?

Or something like that. "They" are saying if MLK were alive today, he would be a trump supporter and conservative.

These revisionist would-be "historians" are full of it.

They're like the idiots who say "The Democratic party is the party of slavery and racism," based on the old "dixiecrats."

It's been more than 50 years now, most of the dixiecrats are dead, and NOW, (not 50 or 150 years ago,) the largest racist groups in the country, like the "Council of Conservative Citizens" are 100% REPUBLICAN.
