“You do know the confederates are all dems, right?”

I believe Thomas Jefferson was a member of a political party that included the word Democrat.

You want to tear down the Jefferson Memorial too?

In the Lincoln Memorial, the statue of Lincoln has him setting in a chair with Fascist symbols on the arm rests.

Same as used to be on back side of the Mercury dime.

fasces
The original symbol of fascism, in Italy under Benito Mussolini, was the fasces. This is an ancient Imperial Roman symbol of power carried by lictors in front of magistrates; a bundle of sticks featuring an axe, indicating the power over life and death.

“I believe Thomas Jefferson was a member of a political party that included the word Democrat.”

Historians call it the Democratic-Republican Party. But that’s an after the fact name. Jefferson would have known it only as The Republican Party.

That Party broke apart after John Q Adams. The Jackson branch formed the Democratic Party in 1828. The Henry Clay/Daniel Webster opposition formed the Whig Party around 1832.

The Whigs lasted until the 1850s. The Republicans carried forward most of the Whig big gov’t economic program.
