    Technically, the first Republican President was the one to end slavery, so I wouldn’t go that far.

    But they’ve obviously changed a great deal since those days, and modern Republicans wouldn’t have been in of the party of Lincoln.

      Names of the parties are irrelevant. It’s conservatives through and through, defending conservatism, preserving their power over humanity through force and greed.

        Exactly this. When someone screams that “Democrats started the KKK!!” my answer is always “CONSERVATIVES started the KKK, and some Democrats are CONSERVATIVES.”
