DEMOCRATS
The party of slavery
...even to this very day.
Thanks to propaganda media, most are oblivious to this very fact and believe lies.
Like a meme I saved
you don’t believe you’ve been
LIED TO AND BRAINWASHED
because you’ve been
LIED TO AND BRAINWASHED

Funny. In 1860 Karl Marx was a featured columnist for the Republican party’s flagship newspaper, Horace Greeley’s New York Tribune. He spent over a decade writing for them.
A driving force in the creating the GOP was its Radical Republican wing and the expatriate German revolutionaries known as ‘48ers.
If you’re looking for 1860’s roots of today’s Woke Democrats that’s where you will find their closest antecedents.

Do we owe allegiance to the government or do we not?Hell no!!! It would be hard to think of a more anti-American thought than that.

“ The only group who solidly slid away from Trump’s populist MAGA movement was college-educated whites. ”
I suspect, if you dig into the numbers, you will see it’s college educated white WOMEN (who benefit from DEI) who went Democrat.

"NO, TRUMP IS A MODERN INCARNATION OF ANDREW JACKSON Sure, I love your enthusiasm, but Andrew Jackson was in a class by himself, where can we even begin?
How about the Battle of New Orleans?
Yeah, much as I love Trump, military experience is not his strong suit.

Let me add that it is even HARDER to get them to ADMIT that they got fooled,
thus the reason for clinging to their foolishness.

"Then as now, Democrats were the party of the big city machines and the big city masses.
Wealthy Establishment urbanites also favored the Democrats, the status quo party who didn't rock the boat.
Republicans were stronger in the rural, small town, and small city North." Exactly right.
Almost from Day One, Federalists / Whigs / Republicans have been the party of: 
- The US Constitution -- Federalism
- Traditional Western values, especially Christianity
- Small towns, small businesses, family farms
- Middle incomes, middle classes, mid-levels of education
- Peace Through Strength law & order supporters
- Federal infrastructure projects like bridges, canals, harbors, roads & railroads
- Conservationism, national parks & forests, clean air & water.
- Restricted franchises to qualified citizens
From Day One, Anti-Federalists / Oppositionists / Democratic-Republicans &
Democrats have been the party of:

- Opposition to the US Constitution -- anti-Federalists
- Freedom from religious conformity, i.e., "I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man," -- Jefferson to Rush, 1800.
- Opposition to tyranny over Democrats, but certainly not by Democrats
- The alliance of big-city, big-globalized business, big immigrant bosses with big plantation Southern slavocrats, today's illegal alien employers
- Military adventurism, wars of choice, weakness provoking attacks and, especially recently: retreats, defeats & humiliations resulting from poor planning and reckless behavior internationally

- Federal infrastructure projects, but only when controlled by Democrats themselves, never when under management of Federalists-Whigs-Republicans
- Expanding franchises to everyone who votes reliably Democrat, i.e., landless immigrants, but not to successful groups (property owners) who vote in opposition such as 1790s era women and freed slaves
- Radical environmentalism, climate alarmism, ecological radicalism, "tree huggers".
- Slavery, black codes, Jim Crow, KKK, segregation, welfare entitlements, CRT, Woke, DEI and any other nonsense they can concoct to legally force other people to work for the benefit of Democrats
