With the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860, the Republican Party controlled the U.S. House, the U.S. Senate, and the presidency. Sensing the beginning of the end to the institution of slavery in the U.S., Democrat-controlled states began to secede from the Union... Tellingly, in their secession declarations, among the list of grievances, virtually every southern state referenced the election of Lincoln and the threat he and his party presented to the institution of slavery.
...The Confederate States of America was formed at the Montgomery Convention in February of 1861. For the southern statesand anyone else in the world paying attentionthe agenda of the newly formed (and electorally victorious) Republican Party was clear. From the creation of the Republican Party, every party platform that mentioned slavery forcefully denounced it. After the infamous Dred Scott ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1857, the subsequent Republican platform strongly condemned the ruling and reaffirmed the right of Congress to ban slavery in the territories. Tellingly, the corresponding Democrat platform praised the Dred Scott ruling and condemned all efforts to end slavery in the U.S.
...every Democrat Party platform from 1840 to 1860six consecutivewas in support of slavery.
But there are other reasons for tearing down the party of slavery. Slavery was a terrible sin that nearly destroyed the United States of America. Likewise, tens of millions of Americans today selfishly cling to immoral behaviors that threaten to destroy our nation... And just as was the case in the 18th century, only one major political party todaythe Democrat Partyhas given political cover and endorsement to the immorality that plagues America.

There is nothing democratic about the DemocRAT party.
When your enemy is failing, get out of it’s way and simply enjoy watching.
I really believe if a campaign was started to ban the Democrap party and it was done right, that these same millennials involved in Antifa and BLM would absolutely turn on the Democratic party and tear it apart. They are weak minded, easy to program. Look at the insanity the Democrats got them to believe in. It wouldn’t take much effort to get them to go 180 especially when there is an absolute ton of ammunition to use in the history of he Rat party.
It’s not their words, but their murderous and treasonous actions for which the Demonicrats should be tried, convicted, and sentenced to publicly be hanged.
Agreed! Which is why—like the author—I prefer “Democrat Party.”
Agreed. But the mainstream media wouldn’t participate, which would make things more difficult.
Yes. The Demonicrats can rant all they want to, up until that short drop and quick stop, to the cheers of American patriots gathered to watch and others who pass by the carcasses as they rot off the noose.
How Democrats celebrate an eclipse....
The Democrat Party should be renamed the Marxist Socialist Party...
Ooh that’s perfect!!
That oughta trigger all of the AntiFaCom loving leftists.
Only got the party name right once in four times.
Nothing democratic about the democRat party.
Great image!
Problem is, the Republican Party is largely complicit in these activities of the DemocRATS.
