was a republican. Enough said.

The current Democratic Party’s demagoguery is unparalleled in human history. Their invective towards Republicans is unconscionable. Deplorable is the nicest word they use when describing the GOP or conservatives. They must portray Republicans as monsters. They are bereft of ideas.
But the Republican Party led the way on improving the lot of minorities, women, and the working class. Consider the following—facts about the GOP not ordinarily available in the media or schools:
Police Reform. A big topic now, it was the GOP that led the way 90 years ago. The first attempt to reform law enforcement in the United States was President Herbert Hoover’s Wickersham Commission in 1929. The primary author of the report, published in 1931, was August Vollmer who founded the school of criminology at the University of California, Berkeley.
Women’s Rights. Republicans led the way in women’s suffrage and participation by women in politics. Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Lucy Stone—all leaders of the women’s suffrage movement—were Republican Party stalwarts after the party was formed. Senator Samuel C. Pomeroy (R-Kans.) introduced the first bill for a constitutional amendment for women’s suffrage in 1868. Montana Republican Jeannette Rankin was, in 1916, the first woman elected to serve in Congress. The first woman to serve in both the House and the Senate was also a Republican—Margaret Chase Smith from Maine. Ellen Foster formed the Women’s National Republican Association in 1888.

that is NOT THIS GOP.
these Republicans are voter-backstabbing,
POTUS hanging by LIES, Chinese operatives
protecting the raping, seditious DO”J”
and rampant ELECTION FRAUD for themselves.
The GOP is the same as the Uniparty DS.
The same. and it will never be forgotten.
The GOP’s decades long open borders and unfair trade agenda has done wonders for American “working people.” Yeah, no.
I do not trust the GOP. They are like the Democrats. Majority of them only care about POWER and not the American people.
