@ThisIsChris Accidental hilarity

there's literally no point to being a Republican in New York City outside of certain enclaves

100 years ago Dems were pro-White and pro-farmer / worker

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN I like Tulsi's anti-war thing

Whereas Republicans were the party of big business and union-busting

I’ll stop my sperg tangent though because it’s probably not applicable to the topic

People say there was a pole switch, but I don't think the Rs and Ds changed *that* much over the last century

they knew what they were doing

I mean, the Democrats used to be the party of the common White Southern man

Whereas republicans represented elites and unfettered capitalism

@ThisIsChris hmm... about that Jesus thing: not to religious post too much, but Jesus was practically the anti-thesis of *everything* Jewish. The Jews have been slandering Jesus since he was born on Earth, and as far as I'm aware, they're the only people peacefully exposed to Christianity who haven't converted. <:thinkplant:359034245777457173>

The republicans were not just elites and unfetted capitalism

@The Eternal Anglo that's a good point!

@Kingfish what do you mean?

I think that’s a bit of an over generalization

Maybe so. I’m just going based off what I was taught in school and have read in books

@Kingfish

I’m a Republican since the parties switched in the 60’s of course

I totally get your perspective

Last thing: Jesus actually warns us about said, "Jews" in Revelation 3:9 "Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee."
And as we all know, barely any Jews of today are not related, or are barely related to the ancient levantine tribes. <:redpill:439924063377555497>
That is enough Deus Volt posting for me today

Northern white farmers and factory workers were big aspects of the Republican Party though it wasn’t just big capitalism

From what I understand it was the party for small business owners in the north as well

I think a lot were former whigs who were making up the backbone of the party to raise tariffs as well

It's really amazing that the founding philosophy of this country was for the government and other entities to stay out of your business and yet here we are today

@The Eternal Anglo Blessed & Bread pilled

@Kingfish the Republican Party played large role in the destruction of the South after the civil war

Yep

Lincoln’s death kind of opened the door for the radicals to take control

Kentucky was spared only because we remained neutral.

Lincoln intended to be pretty lenient

But his death enabled the righteous to do whatever they wanted

The problem with such a figure like that is the entire thing rests on the shoulder of the person who basically created it. Once they’re gone it falls apart

His kind of caesarean in a way

Kentucky remained neutral only because we thought we could keep our slaves if we did so. But with that said, Jefferson Davis was from Kentucky and a large portion of the Confederate Generals as well. Not to mention that Kentucky seceded in 1864 but Lincoln moved in forces to keep them from taking complete control of Kentucky.

The Confederate capitol of Kentucky was Bowling Green

Cool. Yeah Lincoln did something similar with Maryland I believe

Smart move tactically I suppose

@Kingfish Lincoln also originally planned on sending the slaves back to Africa but his death prevented that

Yeah I think the best case scenario would have been Lincoln living to see through whatever he had planned

Lincoln has been often described as a tyrant for a reason, but I suppose that’s mainly due to his Caesarian style
