It appears the rise of the KKK, Jim Crow laws, Woodrow Wilson, FDR, Bull Connor and William Jefferson Clinton et al saved your party's racist ass. Bully for you. If you'd like to take a riotous stab to rewrite the U.S. Constitution, now, with your anarchist Marxist dogma, have at it. We Republicans will be waiting for you, Mr. Horn. May God permit the better ideals and ideas to prevail... again.
The Republicans flipped big time twice. They were an isolationist party before World War II, but since have become strong on defense. They partnered with the abolitionists about the Civil War time frame, but became the party of the southern strategy much later.
I’m not saying the Democrats have not also flipped. They were the rural slavery party around the Civil War, but became the progressive party with FDR.
But you can’t say the Republicans were abolitionists once and rest on your laurels from way back then forever.
We do have the 4T. The old values will go kaput now. This is primarily the idea that you can solve problems by ignoring them and the science, and that you can gain political power by enabling racism.
I don’t know that if you are an adherent of the old values that you should start celebrating the 4T.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
