10. I'm on my cell phone. Thanks. Bookmarking for when I'm on my

computer again.

11. ❤

[GoCubsGo]

14. I wish that graphic said "Unemployment Benefits,"

instead of just plain "Unemployment." Otherwise, it's excellent.

[TNNurse]

16. yes, if someone could photoshop in Benefits,

I would share.

[Ferrets are Cool]

29. Thanks

Makes even more sense now.

[progressoid]

9. But Lincoln was a Republican!!11!

srsly. That's a common argument from the right. They think they are the good guys today because of Lincoln. And Democrats are the racists.

[calimary]

15. But the Republican Party in Lincoln's day was NOT the kind we have now.

[peppertree]

18. And even the Reagan/Bush-era GOP was quite centrist, compared to today's fascist freak show

Makes one shudder to think what they'll be like by 2040/50.

[calimary]

24. Shit - I've wondered that, too.

Once upon a time, we thought there wouldn't be anybody worse than Nixon.

And then reagan happened. I was one who wondered if it'd get worse than that. Then the bushes happened, but they weren't nearly as objectionable as what came next from that sordid side of the aisle: a bottle-blond orange-skinned plague on legs.

[peppertree]

26. Yeah. I suspect Needy Amin will seem downright grandfatherly, compared to the next generation

They'll probably be like a cross between the Tiki-torch screamers and the gang from Clockwork Orange: total psychopaths.

Or they may come to their senses, and re-learn proper politics.

We can only hope.

[Ferrets are Cool]

30. I have NO hope that will happen

That boulder is going downhill.

[Aristus]

34. The droogs from "A Clockwork Orange" might be better than what the GOP could come up with.

Georgie and Dim became brutal, corrupt police officers, so that's a wash.

Pete left the gang, got a job, got married, and became a father.

Alex, the worst of them, determined to give up ultraviolence, sought a new life away from the gangs.

(This is all from the unedited British edition of the original novel, so anyone who only knows ACO from the movie, it may not be familiar.)

[peppertree]

37. 'Right, right!'

And you are right.

A lot of these up-and-coming Republicans follow the Laura Ingraham model: incorrigible sociopaths, whose sole goal in life is to stay the same - but make it big.

There was a certain duality in the droogs we simply don't see in these young Repugs.

[calimary]

38. Needy Amin?!?!?!

Did you come up with that, peppertree? By Jove that’s good!

[peppertree]

39. Don't I wish!

No - I must have read here on DU somewhere.

I called him Orange Amin for a while, which isn't nearly as witty (as in 'like Idi Amin - but orange').

[rurallib]

12. A list of what Republicans have done for people in the last 100 years:

[erronis]

17. Oh, come on. Rich repuglicon capitalists are people too! So are corporations (per SCOTUS).

I'd actually like to see a similar graphic with the things that repuglicons did to hurt the common people.

[Whiskeytide]

13. It should say "unemployment benefits". Otherwise, it's right on. n/t

[PhylliPretzel]

19. I agree with all but Woodrow Wilson

as he was a racist and set back the integration of the federal work force in D.C.

[lunatica]

22. He was also against the suffragette movement.

But he did create the League of Nations, so maybe, given time, he would have “evolved” out of his piggish opinion of women.

[applegrove]

23. If you go back far enough everyone was an asshole to some group. Those

who had power and were assholes to some group ruined lives.

[NNadir]

31. Beat me to it. Democrats of his time were not the Democrats...

...afterwards.

Modern Democrats owe much to FDRs wife for abandoning racism.

What is sad is that Modern Republicans are as racist as Democrats were in the 1850s and 1860s. They are, in fact, much as the Democrats in the 1860s were, traitors to their country.

[geardaddy]

35. Exactly what I was thinking

[appmanga]

20. Hate to be the turd in the punchbowl...

...but I'd leave Wilson out of anything having to do with the modern Democratic Party.

[ShazzieB]

27. Me, too!

He did some worthwhile stuff, but for me, it's overshadowed by his racism and white supremacy. The more I read about it, the more deeply disturbing it is.

[grantcart]

36. Agreed

[BigmanPigman]

21. Not a single self serving, greedy, hateful, hypocritical bastard in the photo.

[demtenjeep]

25. not complete

Biden needs to be there

[UTUSN]

28. K&R for, beautiful Bette!

[Paladin]

32. K&R.

[kimbutgar]

33. I'd take Woodrow Wilson out

He as awful racist. But he did support an early United Nations to avoid another war.
