1. I wouldn't use an old KKK pic. They can correctly say most of them were probably democrats.

I know it doesn't really matter. What matters is who the racists are now. A guy that thinks like me would probably have been a republican if I lived down south back then. We can't go back in a time machine to fix that, but we can beat the white supremacists now.

They switched parties a long time ago.

Republican love to trot out Lincoln. They've not been the party of Lincoln for a very long time. All the old racist white Democrats switched parties. Republicans are the party of racists now.

Just spitballing here, but maybe they should wear them.

Without masks, they're both racist AND contagious. At least we could get 'contagious' off the table.

very few. I doubt many real veterans would dress up like that.

The Meal Team Six guys showed up to counter protest the BLM rally in my town of about 50,000. I think we had about 20 at corners downtown to protect us from AntiFa, though no one expected any trouble. I saw one fat dude decked out like he was being dropped behind German lines at Normandy!

If a bunch of guys in black pajama's and masks jumped out of a van and started shooting at them, I'd like to see what would have happened. I bet those idiots would scatter and barely be able to return fire.
