Yes, surprise. Lot’s of people don’t realize that the Republican south was once the Dixiecrat south. Of course, since Lincoln was a Republican they were going to be Democrats. A lot has changed. Lincoln today would probably be a Democrat and appalled at recent attempts to disenfranchise poor black voters. Of course, in those days women didn’t have the vote either. Ah, change, got to love it.
Lincoln today would remain a Republican, and if he didn’t ave better things to do would identify you as a lying troll for attempting to perpetuate the falsehood that Republicans are trying to disenfranchise black voters.
Can’t cash a check without a photo ID.
Can’t board a plane without a photo ID.
Can’t enter a federal courthouse without a photo ID.
But you can ballot stuff all you want and negate the votes of those who are casting the LEGAL ballots.
Lincoln would be a Republican trying to get blacks off the Democrat plantation. The welfare-industrial state has destroyed the once thriving black family, destroyed or stopped the normalization of black culture, and eliminated the economic/educational prospects of blacks. I’d include government schools as part of the welfare state. Learn the history, the true history of the post civil war era.
