Doesn't explain why Republicans freed the slaves and Democrats fought for 60 years to bring it back... but whatever floats your boat. I wish you best of luck t

  The republicans carry most of the south these days. I guess this means the confederacy was strongly pro-Lincoln? Presumably the whole civil war thing was fake news?

  Regardless of whether you agree or disagree with him, it's pretty clear he's talking about the modern republican party. Ie the coalition that was formed as a backlash to the civil rights act. If you disagree with him (and there are legit reasons to), then write your views opposed to him, don't try to misrepresent his view and argue against that instead.

    The "backlash" was from former Democrats who were brainwashed for decades to hate the blacks who then decided to support the Republican party as a revenge because they felt betrayed by the Democratic Party when they switched their position on black people... not very different from some former Bernie supporters voting Trump. If Republicans as a whole are now "afraid of blacks" because a small southern group joined it as a revenge then would you also say that now they are also afraid of capitalism because some Bernie supporters joined it?

  The Republican party that freed the slaves is not the current Republican party. The Democrat party that fought to restore slavery is not the current Democrat party. That stuff happened a long, long time ago.

    They are ideologically equivalent to their historical counterparts at their cores.
