OK but Lincoln was republican and he ended slavery. I'm all for calling out right wing nutjobs on their shit but attributing all evils ever to them is some serious echo chamber bubble shit
Lincoln was a Republican before the parties switched. It's well-documented how voting trends from the Civil War through to the Civil Rights Act flipped (hint, it's to do with racism and the North/South divide)
This is a brief overview. Obviously not an exhaustive history but covers the basics. https://www.studentsofhistory.com/ideologies-flip-Democratic-Republican-parties
I was simply pointing out how lost the nuance of party lines is to that other guy. Everything has shifted, divides have grown, both parties are so right leaning there's no real left leaning representation left. Yet I only see both sides doubling down on their echo chambers. I went through this shit (and fell for it hard) on reddit, I don't want a repeat here.
How do people this stupid still exist? Or is it just a Russian troll?
Are you talking about Mr "everyone who doesn't agree with me is literally evil", or about me? If it's about me, I'm kinda flattered since it would be my first time getting called a Russian troll lol.
You for not understanding the simple fact that the parties switched.
