    And now they find themselves defending slavery. The “party of Lincoln”.

    Nothing new. They’ve been flying the traitors’ flag for decades now, moaning on about their “heritage”.

      Fun fact!

      When the Republican Party first gained traction, many states would have them labeled on the ballots as “Progressive Party”.

      Teddy Roosevelt ran on a platform of environmental conservation, anti-corruption, anti-monopoly, consumer protections, corporate regulation, social welfare, and income and estate tax.
