And when has industry not protected its profits no matter the political or social environment? They didn’t continue to produce goods and sell them to support slavery OR anti-slavery, and has little to do with the topic.
But here is what is particularly interesting- I wrote of much in the democrat party history that was ugly and anti-human, yet those who responded singled out one of the least important (yet so telling) points I made.
The entire point of the essay was that the democrat party is traitorous, anti-American, anti- Constitution, leftist, globalist and enemies of the people. With even the slightest bit of luck and a whole lot of prayer, Patriots will be able to vote them out and into history, alongside the Whigs.
Our revolution began in 2008 with the Tea Party and has been building.
In case no one noticed, THIS is OUR revolution, without violence (except from the left), without killing and bloodshed (except from the left) and without sending our children to die (except to leftist foreign proxy wars).
Nothing wrong with that... *UNTIL* you use the government to do it for you. We are now overwhelmed with companies that rely on the government to force everyone to partake of their company's services. The recent vax mandates are an example.
Using the government to force others to buy your products is skirting with Fascism.

I take issue with trying to characterize the Democrat party as being the same throughout history. It has changed quite a lot since Andrew Jackson founded it in the 1820s. The Modern Democrat party is basically the 1860 Republican party, and if you start comparing positions, behavior, and locations of the people in the party, you realize there is a great deal of similarity between Modern Democrats and 1860s Republicans, up to and including the use of Government to get what they want.
The 1860 Republican party wanted high taxes. They wanted protectionist laws. They wanted massive government spending projects. They blurred the distinction between government and private corporations. (Such as the Railroads and Shipping industries.) They wanted "Social Change." They wanted to impose their view of morality on others. They lived in Boston, New York, Chicago, Baltimore, etc. All places that are the strongholds of modern Democrats today.
In fact, I would have to think for a bit to point out some manner in which 1860 Republicans were different than Modern Democrats. They even owned most of the media and publishing back then. Same with the Universities. They had feminists like Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, or Margaret Sanger. They were the "Progressives". They were the wealthy "Elite".
So to characterize the old Democrats as the same as the modern Democrats is an error. The Democrats wanted small government, low taxes, lassaiz fair economic policy, and no social change.
1860 Democrats are a very different animal from 2024 Democrats. Oh, and Ronald Reagan was a Democrat for much of his life.
