You’re the one claiming prescience by Republican party 1850s organizers. I’m not making excuses I just am stating things as they are.
I never brought up prescience. I simply said the Republican Party was organized out of others in 1854, and that they didn’t simply give up after their Presidential loss that year, but tried again. You’re the one that brought up the Civil War that hadn’t occurred yet, and slavery that had already been around for many years. You’re adding more to my comment than there originally was.
Asking if you want Trump or deSantis is rather like asking a guy with no girlfriend if he wants a blonde or a brunette.
