Didn't they teach you that in your history class...or was it just hangman knots and white sheets? 
No damn wonder they say certain kids need CRT taught in school!!! |
there were always conservatives in the GOP and there was no "flip" where masses of Democrats joined the GOP and masses of so-called progressive Republicans joined the Democratic party. that narrative is false no matter how many times you and ava keep claiming that.
the GOP from within became more conservative while the Democrats became more progressive from within. and define "progressive" today vs. the Civil War area. or the 1960's. it's not the same thing today. now, progressives are radical socialists like AOC and her fellow cunts in the squad.
you could also argue that keeping the union and freeing slaves wasn't really all that progressive and in fact was conservative in wanting to keep the union intact and compassionate to free the slaves. there is fact fact a term for it .."compassionate conservative" perhaps you've heard of it?
Compassionate conservatism is an American political philosophy that stresses using conservative techniques and concepts in order to improve the general welfare of society.
