For those who don't know, In the US, the two political parties basically switched sides at one point. I only skimmed, but here's an article about it:

But I'd rather look at what modern people are doing and saying, than muse about what older generations would have wanted or done.

We would too but unfortunately fascists pretend that they're not fascist by claiming their political party freed the slaves.

This obviously ignores their bigotry and hate for people of color and distaste for women.... And well, I digress. Suffice to say that these assholes try to claim they're not racist despite all the racist bullshit and hate they spread, and they use this claim as proof.

We would love to ignore it but we can't. Best we can do is inform ourselves.
