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.

NO, TRUMP IS A MODERN INCARNATION OF ANDREW JACKSON
BTTT
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.
This broad swath where 40% of the population supports the wokism the democrats have adopted and the uniparty blob uses for power and control is fairly new
Barely related even to Abbie Hoffman era or civil rights excess though the latter made it possible
It’s a result of media and education brainwashing generations and open borders
And the preponderance of homosexuals immediately tooting their own horn
Neocons who always resort to bashing antebellum democrats do so to deflect criticism that the white conservative base which is strong in the south is actually the problem
Them and their ancestors
But we’re working on them
Cowards and liars
Trump doesn’t do this
He supports his southern base which adores him and we appreciate that
So Ben Shapiro and mark levin etc can go pound sand
Democrats have fired me from several jobs. I would only be satisfied if Trimp put together a staff that would cause ALL supervisors to think twice before terminating someone JUST for expressing his/her point of view. Something HAS to happen to those people that is horrible.
Trump re-aligned both major parties into a new coalition of Democrats that do not trust gov’t and anti-war conservatives.
Both are in an alliance against the pro-war Democrats/neocon conservatives and against the pro-corporate Democrats and pro-corporate country club Republicans.
Both are aligned in favor of free speech, secure borders and reducing wasteful federal spending and regulations
What brought these two sides together was free speech and listening to each other, finding that we share more in common than we ever thought.
The far left wants to silence listening to each other while the country club Republicans just want conservatives for fundraising, not governance.
Most voters from both parties support controlled immigration, reasonable spending, less federal intrusion into our lives/businesses, voter ID and peace over war.
Trump & Company offered that. As it appears that Trump is following through on his campaign promises (just like his first term) people who were told Trump is a liar are now coming to support him..
This is a huge change from the last 50 years and will affect the next 50.
:^D Anything here look familiar vis a vis some of my posts? ? ? ?
The marxist tactics of marginalizing and namecalling finally wore thin with voters who are now thinking with their wallets.
