"Sorry, but if the union soldiers and even Lincoln, for that matter, knew what we would become in the 21st century..." Contrary to what Democrats' propaganda may say, the Republican party has always been the more conservative party, we are the people who wrote & ratified the US Constitution, against opposition from many who later became Jeffersonian "Democratics".
We have always been the conservative bulwark against which all the latest fads & fashions of the day crash, attempting to break us down and transform us into them.
We were and are the party of the "middle class", family farms, small businesses, professionals, skilled workers, suburban, small town and rural, religious/cultural conservatives, national defense and local law enforcement.
Democrats were & are the party of big global business and big city immigrants.
And we have always (or almost always) stood firm in our beliefs & values against whatever is next on the "progressive" agenda.
Democrats have been at war -- declared or undeclared --against Americans since Day One.
Yes, in the very beginning, Jeffersonians used "strict construction" as their battle-cry against the old Federalists, but it was all just a sham then, just as it is today whenever they trot out that old war-horse.
As soon as Jeffersonians came to power, in 1801, they began doing all the things they had decried when proposed by Federalists.
And they invented new Federal powers, including the Louisiana Purchase, which Jefferson himself admitted needed a constitutional amendment to authorize.
In 1861 Democrats formally declared war against the United States, and they never formally surrendered.
Think about that.
So, today, when a Democrat politician promises to "transform America", that's what they've been trying to do all this time.
They HATE America as it is, or was, as one Democrat Governor (ahem, NY) said, "America was NEVER all that great".
They want to transform us into some nightmarish vision of the future in which they rule and we are all just slaves on the Democrats' big government plantation.
So Abraham Lincoln waged a bloody war against insane Democrats and finally won, but they never formally surrendered and never quit being Democrats.
What people today don't realize is how close-fought the Civil War really was -- look at my statistics.
Even in 1863, the battles won & lost are almost even, and also the numbers of battles fought in Union states & territories is still only slightly less than those fought in the Confederacy.
And, if I were to post the totals of known casualties on each side, the Union numbers are vastly higher.
So as of early 1863, Democrats/Confederates are at least holding their own in their war against the United States.
Today they seem to be running roughshod over us, raining great metaphorical clouds of urine down on us and all we can do is make like the proverbial Texas jackrabbits in a hail-storm -- hunker and take it (credit to Charlie Couch for that one).
And the situation is vastly more complicated by four facts --
1) It's no longer clear if our elections are fair & honest, not rigged, and
2) Unlimited numbers of new illegal immigrants will soon be voting, "legally" or illegally, their numbers will tip the scales against all but the very greatest of "red wave" elections; and
3) The Federal government itself has become the Democrats' political enforcement arm.
Add to that media and education and those are powerful opponents.
4) Many or most Republican politicians are just plain cowards, will not fight for their beliefs, or their constituents'.
But, if history is any guide, in due time Democrats will finally overstep even the very tolerant limits of average American values and then Republicans will have opportunities to correct at least the worst of Democrats' misgovernment.
When, is anybody's guess, but for sure, it cannot come soon enough.

Your philippic would have been more effective if you had just said Thomas Jefferson invented tooth decay and let it go at that.
It was not necessary to go full Castro length.
