The Republican party is the pro slavery party since 1776

[Heather MC]

The media needs to start speaking about them in terms of them wanting to take us back to 1776.
They have established themselves as the pro slavery party since 1965. When all the Dixiecrats left the Democratic Party and ran over to the "safe haven" of the pro slavery party and stayed there. Because they were angry black women finally got the right to vote in this country.


And now black women are the largest voting block in the United States 98% of black women vote democratic 92% of black men vote Democrat. We are the most powerful voting block in the United States. We are the true majority. So who do you think the republicans hate the most and would love to subjugate again?

I'll give you a hint psst psst... Black people 🤷🏾‍♀️
And all those who side with us the 81 million of us that spoke in one voice, "get the fuck out Donald Trump"

The Republican party has become unhinged, because of their hate of black people.(Obama Obama Obama)
And because of their hate of women even though 53% of white women vote for them consistently.
If those white women didn't support the pro-slavery men, there would be no Republican party.🤷🏾‍♀️

The best we can hope for is that some small percentage of those 53% of white women. Realize, that old white men shouldn't be deciding what happens to their vaginas.🤔

At any rate, the Republican party can no longer overcome the majority of us in national elections.

They were able to steal our election from us in 2000 when the majority was only 532 votes

They were even able to steal it in 2016 when the majority of us was 3 million votes
(Minority Vote Presidents are always a disaster for Our Country)🤦🏾‍♀️

But look what happened in 2020, Their vote deficit is now 7 million votes🤯🤯🤯🤯

And as long as we don't fall for their lies, 🙉🙈🙊 and they're bullshit💩💩💩💩, By 2024 I predict their vote deficit will be 10 million votes.🥂👌🏾

The Republican party is dying, And as long as we understand that and don't let them make us forget it. We can kill them Off in the next 2 elections and render them impotent for decades.

As long as we don't screw this up💜🤞🏾

1. conservatism has always been the ideology of slavery/white supremacy...

no matter what party the conservatives stood for.

The christofascist are continually trying to sell the idea that the Democratic and Republican parties have not changed since the slave era.

They also try to sell the idea that Nazis/fascism is socialist and therefore leftist.

2. +1,

[LeftInTX]

31. Yes

[Caliman73]

32. Much more accurate than the title of the Thread.

It isn't Republican or Democratic. It is Conservatism that is at the core of most of our problems in the US. The Conservative Democratic Party was the party that supported slavery. The liberal Republicans, formed after the collapse of the Whig party, was the abolitionist party.

There was some shift during the early 1900's but we need to remember that Teddy Roosevelt left the Republican Party to form the Progressive Bull Moose party when the Republicans began lurching rightward economically. Southern Democrats remained very Conservative regarding racial policy. In the 1930's when FDR was elected, the economic switch was mainly complete with the Republicans being the conservative party and Democrats favoring more liberal economic policies. The Souther Democrats or Dixiecrats held on to their racial animus. In the 1960s with the Civil Rights movement, the fracture was complete and the Southern Conservative Democrats broke off because of the Democratic Party's stance on segregation and the signing of the Civil Rights Acts. They were folded into the Republican Party and it is as it stands today.

Conservatives are pro slavery/white supremacy. They currently make up the Republican Party.

3. Right on and write on Heather!

Looking back at 2000, what is glossed over is the GOP purging around 200,000 voters in Florida using using a firm based in Texas. It could also have occurred then in a few other closely contested states.

We also saw similar purged numbers in Georgia in 2020.

What we need to do is NEVER allow the GOP to dictate who gets purged. This I think is another way to stop them from cheating.

And three of those who defended Bush back in 2000 now sit on the Supreme Court!

4. Black women are not the largest voting block.

The black share of the electorate is about 12%. So black women are around 6%. The non-Hispanic white share of the electorate is about 71%. So white men are about 35% and white women about 36%.

6. You're missing my point

98% of black women 92% of Black men vote democratic,

Please name another demographic that votes that much for one party?

White voters get split up by their hair color, the college they went to which hemisphere they live in. how many pets they own

You cannot do that to the black vote. We have a singular focus for the most part, we know the Republican party is a pro slavery party.🤷🏾‍♀️

We are not voting for Wannabe slave owners.

[llashram]

7. yeah right

pisses you off huh? Goggle for a reference? I don't think so...

[Heather MC]

9. I respond to a comment and you think I'm angry?

Hardly🤷🏾‍♀️

[llashram]

10. sorry

I screwed up...I was trying to respond to the one you were responding to

Respect🤝🏾

22. Its not google.

Maybe you should understand how links work. It is a group which analyzes voting trends and the electorate. Are you claiming black women are the largest group of the voting electorate? Where is your link?

[llashram]

23. okay

I just don't trust your statistics. Voting trends from one source mean NOTHING to me. And the electorate. Wow. I have been amazed by them in the last 6 years. My links in the African-American community. That is the only link I NEED to understand African-American women are a large voting block that can make or break an election. Why do you think the RW is only targeting the African-American voting block in the minority communities with the RW gerrymandering frenzy? Look you can try to prove me wrong yet I WILL continue to have faith in my abilities. And not be guided by fear or ego as some are. You have a good...

25. Most loyal constituency would be accurate

As for the rest . . .

Well, it was a post. I'll say that much.

5. "In 1854, the Republican Party emerged to combat the expansion of slavery

into American territories after the passing of the Kansas–Nebraska Act. The early Republican Party consisted of northern Protestants, factory workers, professionals, businessmen, prosperous farmers, and after the Civil War, former black slaves. It had very little support from white southerners..." Wikipedia

So, very mixed but began as mostly moderate-conservative and liberal and anti-slavery...

This was the party Abraham Lincoln, "The Great Emancipator," joined after a time in the short-lived Whig Party. A lot of northerners and liberals (think Biden voters) joined the new Republican Party because frontier and southern conservatives (think 19th century trumpist types), mainly pro-slavery, had flooded the previously liberal-dominated Democratic-Republican Party founded by Jefferson and Madison.

Political parties and movements may die out or change who belongs to the label, but the kind of people who would join any of them will always be with us. I agree, it'd be wonderful if the kind who currently gather under the Republican label succeeded in killing it off, the way they did the Democratic Party after taking it over pre-Civil War. But short of civil war, of course. By driving others to vote to stop them.

[Heather MC]

8. They killed Lincoln

He was one man, They murdered him for ending Slavery.
And frankly Abraham Lincoln was no friend to Africans, He did not believe that blacks and whites could live in the same country together. His ultimate plan was to send all the Africans back to Africa.

He succeeded in sending 2000 back to Liberia.

He's also noted as saying if he could keep slavery and save the Union he would.
Hardly a hero.

[Oneironaut]

17. Tbh, he was a politician in a different time. You are correct, though.

24. this is

the truth. Real always helps to balance things

[patphil]

12. The anti-abortion movement is, simply put, reproductive slavery.

It essentially takes away women's right to their own body, reducing them to something less than citizens. It's essentially involuntary servitude and is illegal as per the 13th Amendment.

[Heather MC]

13. Which is exactly what they did to the African Women they held in Captivity

for 400 years.

[patphil]

15. Breeding new slaves to maintain the plantation, and/or make money.

[Oneironaut]

14. No offense, but, that's blatantly false.

The Republican Party was explicitly anti-slavery. The KKK was largely made up of Democrats.

The history of American politics is complex. It’s an ever-evolving machine.

[Heather MC]

16. 1865 they had their emancipate slavery moment, that was one man that did that

They killed him.
There wasn't another big shift against slavery, until 1965 when they finally gave black women the right to vote the democrats did that.

The racist democrats who didn't like that ran over to the Republican party and found a safe haven since 1965.

That's when the fundamental shift began in this country. And then in 2008 when president Obama won that was the 1st time an African, and an American man, Held power that was a fundamental shift in this country from all the wealthy white men who did it before.

Kamala Harris becoming vice president is a huge fundamental shift in this country.

I understand that the democrats were considered the jackasses of their day thus the reason they have the donkey logo. However after 1965 it was clear which party wanted to remain pro slavery, and which one wanted to be for the people.

And even now today what does Steve Bannon call the January 6 insurrection? They are "1776er moment"

They are salivating to drag this country back to a time when only they had power.

Am I incorrect?

18. You should learn about Reconstruction and the "radical Republicans"

Opposition to slavery among Republicans was not limited to Lincoln, his approach was actually considered too moderate by many in his party.

[Heather MC]

19. Lincoln's approach was moderate because he was not a true abolitionist.

Just like in our politics today, there are democrats who are not true progressives, who are willing to take on some, Progressive policies in order to gain support.

Lincoln actually put forth a plan to slowly end slavery over a 30 year. And of course he offered to pay the slave States, not the actual people who were enslaved.

He may have signed the emancipation proclamation, and they may have gone to Congress and tried to do some things to end slavery, However the idea was always to protect the slave owners. And to ensure they were somehow compensated so they would stay happy.

In August 1862, Lincoln stated: "If I could save the union without freeing any slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that." In fact, by that time, immense pressure was building to end slavery ...

[tritsofme]

20. Right...the Radical Republicans who ran Congress were explicitly abolitionist

And supported the sort of civil rights measures that wouldn’t see the light of day for another century. Which of course contradicts what you were saying earlier.

I just find this muddling of history to be very strange.

[Heather MC]

21. I'm not "muddling" history,

Whatever they were in 1865, Shifted in 1965. The Democratic Party began fighting for all the people, the voters rights act was passed, around that time. It fundamentally changed the 2 parties forever.

To the point where everything the Republican party was before 1965, no longer matters because who they are today, is the pro slavery party and they proudly call themselves the 1776ers.

Today they want to strip women of their right to choose what happens to their body, and they want to take away a woman's ability to decide when she chooses to put her life on the line to bring life into this world.

They keep hinting out loud the fact that they want to abolish gay marriage. As if that ever should have been illegal to begin with.

These are the actions of a party that wants to control when people make familie, and who they fall in love with. Those are exactly the things that were done during the slavery days.

Of course I left out a lot of history, because you gotta keep things brief otherwise people don't read. lol
And also I truly believe you understand the point I'm making, it's just difficult for you to wrap your head around the dea that the Republican ideology is a pro slavery ideology.

Is what I'm saying incorrect? Are they not exhibiting signs of wanting to drag us back to the days were only certain white men were in charge?. How's that not slavery, For the rest of us?

[llashram]

26. you are right about Lincoln

he was a pragmatist with no love for the slave. Anyone else trying to change that fact is not a true student of America's racist politics. From Lincoln on. Dixiecrats come to mind also. Lincoln was no hero.

[Heather MC]

27. 💜

A lot of these people are still loving Lincoln because that's what they taught to do in Elementary school.

Lincoln was no friend of the slaves, and Christopher Columbus was a monster and a genocide maniac
And John Smith made up the entire story about Pocahontas. She was 10 years old when they met. In Thomas Jefferson kept his wife's stepsister in the basement as a slave and now people say they had a sizzling relationship blame relationship the child was 13 years old when he started making babies with him that's hardly a relationship.
these people are weird, Flawed, and monsters frankly, we need to stop Being forced to believe that they were such great people because they weren't. Most of them if they did anything good in their life it was broken clock Syndrome more than anything else.

Here's a simple rule of thumb that I follow, if you owned humans, you're a horrible person.🤷🏾‍♀️

[LeftInTX]

28. The Republican Party wasn't around in 1776

The Democrats were the pro-slavery party until the end of the civil war.
The Democrats were the racists after the civil war.
Heck, even Woodrow Wilson was a racist.
The Republican party has been the racist party since 1965.

[Heather MC]

29. Please tell that to the people that keep calling themselves the 1776ers

They sound stupid

[LeftInTX]

30. They won't listen. Conservatism is the problem

[Heather MC]

33. Racism is the Problem

"conservatism"
"Authoritarianism"
"White Nationalist"
and so on Are all code for
Dangerous White people mostly men Salivating about the Idea of bringing back, the worst of America's history

[Hekate]

39. The truth will make you free. Repeating lies "because they do it" will not make us free.

[Hekate]

34. Heather? Please don't garble history this way. Fact have meaning in the real world.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

35. This thread is anti-historical. Sorry.

[msfiddlestix]

36. My history class indicated the Republican party wasn't formed until mid-late !850's

Not a history scholar or buff, I'm pretty sure Abe Lincoln was the first Republican President..

[Heather MC]

37. I only used the date 1776, because that's what the republicans of the day like to say
