@eddsmitty.bsky.socialReposted by @gawdzchild4eva.bsky.socialThis is why figures like former KKK leader David Duke (below) endorsed Trump, not Democrats. That being said; I challenge anyone to provide evidence where white nationalist groups have thrown their support behind today's Democratic Party.
