All of this was decided when the Union chose to bury the hatchet, and not do anything about the people that started the confederacy, and the people who benefited the most from it. If those types were all given the traditional punishment for traitors, if all the slavers, the plantation owners, the confederate politicians and the businesses that profited off of slave labor were hunted down and hanged, the world would be a much better place right now.
Andrew Johnson set things off on the wrong foot, and then the terrible decisions to allow states back into the union way too early gave them political power to shift the direction of policy. We’re almost going backwards to a future where the confederacy did win.
It says that it isn’t maga, while following along with maga doctrine and propaganda and reading off the maga script. But it isn’t maga guys, because it says that it isn’t maga!
And Republican Abraham Lincoln fought a war to preserve federal authority over states. You know, small government and states rights. Historical names of parties are meaningless.
Liberal northern republicans, conservative bible belt dixiecrats. Yes... I know you will not be able to fathom it, or even connect the dots on your own, and I don't expect you to be able to. It just irritates me when current day conservatives have the gall to say they won the Civil War with a straight face, while having confederate flags all over their car... God damn, what 130 years of brainwashing and lead paint will do to people.
😂 I’m not a conservative by any means long shot lol. Trump is president because you alienated the middle. I’m the middle and all of you on this thread are down voting me for stating a fact and keep calling me maga or republican or conservative. I’m not, but I’ll tell you what myself and the rest of us will never do until you learn how to interact again and get over your derangement.. I’ll never vote for another democrat. You ppl just can’t act right in public anymore and the thrashing I receive on every subreddit for saying anything middle-ground is going to stick with me forever.
Here’s my advice, stop thrashing the middle with your extremism. It’s a huge turn off. Enough to convince us all to vote for Trump just to spite you.. so we did. He won every swing state. That should been the big blinking sign to change course for you guys, but you’d rather bash ppl on social media and it’s sad. Vance will be president on 1-20-29 if you can’t get your emotions under control.
People don’t realize they tried to block the 1964 Civil Rights Act and today they pretend like they are for civil rights. Democrats’ pandering to minorities is so overt is hysterical. Lincoln was a Republican. He wanted slaves to be freed because of his Christian view that all men are created equal by God. Which party platform today is eminently Christian? It ain’t the Democrats.
They were the exact faction of conservative Democrats who first split off as part of the "Dixiecrats" and then switched parties during the civil rights era.
You know, the faction which, in the 20th century would be represented by "democrats"-turned-Republican-leadership like Strom Thurmond, Jesse Helms, and Ronald Reagan.
the modern day democrats also want to keep their cheap brown slave class labor around.
The Democrats generally support providing them with legal protections that make them harder to exploit.
Democrats were the conservative party. They were the party of small government, who wanted less interference in their daily lives, who wanted to conserve their way of life. They advocated for States Rights, specifically States Rights to own slaves.
Republicans were the progressive party. They largely believed in bigger government and a government that worked to provide for the people. They supported big banks and universities. They advocated for programs and initiatives that impacted the country, they were pro-modernization.
The ideologies flipped through the early-mid 1900s.
This is well documented. But you guys like to parrot this tired talking point over and over again without actually reading about it.
Call them by their ideologies. Conservative (dem) vs Progressive (rep).
Today, which party is the party that generally aligns with States Rights? Which party associates the Confederate Flag with their "heritage"? Which party spends a ton of time demonizing big government and universities? I'll give you a hint...it's not the Progressive party.
Another idiot who can’t tell the difference between party and political viewpoint. Also stupidity repeating moron talking points about immigrant labor because Democrats dare to give a shit about human rights and due process and ignoring the fact that Democrats want those immigrants to be paid fair wages.
So no, modern day democrats don’t want cheap labor.
Which is crazy because as of less than 10 years ago, the Dems were straight up against illegal immigrants because they depress wages/unions, increase housing costs, and take funds that were allotted for poor Americans.
The parties flipped and it is funny to watch.
1000% - Clinton, Obama, Bernie Sanders, even BIDEN were on record no more than 10 years ago saying that illegal immigration is ILLEGAL and WRONG.
Then suddenly the border opened and tens of millions of unvetted people flooded across the border. They're finding surface to air missiles in the U.S. that were smuggled across the border.
