I mean

One could argue even as a southerner like me that Lincoln with 39% of the vote acted determined and offered good terms

Roosevelt even though smeared by neocon talk radio today was ballsy

Coolidge did no harm

Goldwater tried

Helms and Tower opened the way for Dixiecrats and southern social conservatives to go GOPe

Reagan stands out yet was opposed by the party largely

And then their Trump and a few legislators today

I mean other than compare to Dems.....what the hell is so wonderful about the GOPe really in 160 years

I can find as many or more Democrats that were tolerable or actually good

Talk radio and GOPe punditry has truly misinformed the electorate about GOPe history with its steady pep club mentality

They and the GOPe have failed us
