I didn't grow up in West Virginia, I only attended College at WVU. I'm from New York (Buffalo) and I've cast exactly 1 ONE Democrat vote in my entire life. I've lived in Texas, California, West Virginia (of course) and now here in Georgia where I've lived for the last 33 years.
Did you know the Democrat party was the author of Jim Crow here in the South, as well as the Party of the Ku Klux Klan of which Sen Byrd was a card carrying member?
Probably not. So here's some history for you of the Democrat party you probably have never been informed of, as well as the esteemed Robert C. Byrd .
Democrats' favorite Klan member includes selective amnesia
excerpt:
Democrats attempt to play the race card. The race card and victim politics is a key part of the election playbook for Democrats throughout America. It is therefore puzzling that one of the biggest Democratic heroes in the U.S. Senate was Robert C. Byrd from West Virginia, who not only was in the Ku Klux Klan but presided over the Council of the Centaurs as Exalted Cyclops when he was in his mid-20s. During the time that Byrd played a leadership role in the Klan, the KKK was both anti-black and anti-Jewish.

In the early 1940s, Byrd recruited 150 of his friends and associates to create a new chapter of the
Ku Klux Klan in
Sophia, West Virginia.

As a young boy, Byrd had witnessed his adoptive father walk in a Klan parade in
Matoaka, West Virginia.
[27] While growing up, Byrd had heard that "the Klan defended the American way of life against racemixers and communists".
[28] He then wrote to Joel L. Baskin, Grand Dragon of the Realm of Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware, who responded that he would come and organize a chapter when Byrd had recruited 150 people.

It was Baskin who told Byrd, "You have a talent for leadership, Bob … The country needs young men like you in the leadership of the nation". Byrd later recalled, "Suddenly lights flashed in my mind! Someone important had recognized my abilities!
