The Democrat party has always been the party of tyranny. It was formed to protect slavery. After Lincoln took away their slaves it transitioned to the Universal slavery of Socialism. This latest round of evil using the state to crush dissent and stealing elections fits the Democrat party like a glove fits a hand.
Agreed. I get tired of hearing about how good the old democrat party was. They were always socialists. And there are no ‘good’ socialists.
No it wasn't. It was formed by Andrew Jackson in the 1820s, and it wasn't focused on slavery. Andrew Jackson fought against the Bank of America, and efforts to manipulate monetary policy in the USA. He believed he was cheated out of the 1824 election, if I recall properly, and he formed the Democrat party to help him win the Presidency.
After Lincoln took away their slaves it transitioned to the Universal slavery of Socialism.
Under the law in existence at that time, slaves were "property", so Lincoln took away 5 billion dollars worth of other people's property. That sounds pretty socialist to me. Karl Marx himself praised Lincoln for what he did and thought Lincoln had done a wonderful thing to advance the cause of socialism.
This latest round of evil using the state to crush dissent and stealing elections fits the Democrat party like a glove fits a hand.
Like arresting thousands of political prisoners, arresting newspaper companies, arresting the entire legislature of Maryland, arresting a congressmen and issuing an arrest warrant for the Chief Justice of the Supreme court?
Yeah, Lincoln did that. He used the state to crush dissent. He even arrested Septimus Winner (Composer of such great American songs as "Listen to the Mockingbird", "Little Brown Jug", "Oh Where oh Where has my little dog gone") for writing a song called "Give us back our old Commander". (About General McClellan, whom Lincoln fired.)
Septimus Winner was only allowed to leave prison after he promised to get back all copies of the song and destroy them.
Lincoln was a ruthless man.
