But today many,many voters understand that it's the Rats who are the party of the rich and that the GOP is the party of the middle class and the working class.
“Back then the Rats weren’t quite as depraved as they’ve been recently *and* they succeeded in convincing voters that the GOP was the party of the rich.”
Back in the early 2000s there was a study done that looked into the net worth of Republicans and Democrats. At that time the total net worth of Dems was in the area of $1.2 billion while Republicans were in the ballpark of about $400 million.
The rats were depraved their entire history - from 1828 when they formed to overturn the Missouri compromise - they wanted to expand slavery into the territories
to 1854 when they did overturn it with the Kansas-Nebraska act - causing a decade of bloody conflict in Kansas and Nebraska and resulting in the formation of the Republican party.
to 1860 when they fomented a bloody rebellion because they refused to share the government with the Republicans (we had the Presidency and a small majority in the House)
to post civil war when they founded the KKK, the White League, etc. etc. etc. They murdered, intimidated, lynched the Republican party out of the South for over a 100 years.
to post LBJ ‘great society’ where they bribed and threatened their victims to continue voting for them.
now they are on to violence using ANTIFA, BLM, etc.
