Still in the dark, and thank God for that. The party of slavery didn’t “lose” their base; they purposely alienated, abused and abandoned their base in their headlong rush to the Soviet left, and deservedly so. Thanks to their purchase of anyone they could get from foreign countries, and their contempt for native born Americans, a Harris victory might have put us on a path to a nationa bastardized and amalgamated language completely unrecognizable to us today, And that would only be the beginning of the spiral.
Excellent read. We are witnessing the breaking of the back of the “elitists”. Who better to do it than the original disruptors...the American people.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch. Miss Jamaican Coconut 1971 is cooling her heals and Christmas shopping in the far-left Marxist stronghold of Hawaii.
A series of poor comparisons. Read the 1860 Republican platform that dismissed the USSC’s authority after their allies lost a big lawfare case. Further, in 1860, the Republicans were the party of sanctuary cities, not the Dems.
Lawfare and sanctuary cities sounds kinda familiar, no?
Democrats would bring back slavery if they could/ Oh, wait, they have will illegals. They want them to clean their bathrooms, pick their fruit, park their cars, cook their meals and mow their lawns. Same thing the slaves did in 1860. Democrats have never changed.
Several things wrong with this article, including the notion that it was *ONLY* the election of Lincoln that was the problem. Completely ignores the fact the Southern states had been wanting to secede since the early 1820s, because the young government always favored the wealthy Northern interests over theirs.
The 1860 Democrats believed in low taxes and small government. They opposed social "change". They wanted laissez-faire economic policy. They opposed government spending programs.
Their views and policies better conform to Modern conservatives, while the views of the liberal Republicans better conform to modern Democrats.
They even lived in the very same areas of the country that are still hotbeds of liberalism today. Places like Boston, Chicago, Washington DC and New York.
Lawfare and sanctuary cities sounds kinda familiar, no?
Exactly right. People nowadays do not realize how very different were the political philosophies of 1860 Democrats and Republicans from modern Democrats and Republicans.
The 1860 Republicans were extremely liberal. Very little of what they believed could be construed as "conservative" by modern standards.
That’s correct.

“A series of poor comparisons.”
Correct.
The author went so far as to suggest Lincoln and the political parties that he founded were against white supremacy.
Sadly, that was not the case.
NO, TRUMP IS A MODERN INCARNATION OF ANDREW JACKSON

I think this is a brilliant short article. It concisely explains with facts, figures, and history the reason, the how, and the why for Trump’s victory. Worth sharing witb others, especially your liberal acquaintances who insist they can listen to reasoned arguments.
Anyone worships republicans from 1860 on is poorly informed
Dusting off the Mother-of-All-Ping-Lists for this one.
This should be good for 1000+ replies. (Wish we could still see how many views a thread gets.)
Please check your dueling pistols at the door.
MAGA, not MEGA!

The party of slavery yesterday is the party of human trafficking today.
They have become so similar today to what they were 170 years ago it is quite astounding. Right down to the mayor of Denver and the Governors of California and Illinois signaling a modern form of secession…which is likely just a slow roll toward the whole-hog form.
