That is why President Lincoln, who was a Republican, freed the slaves. I guess because he hated America and hated democracy. Check out the facts...

Dude this is the stupidest talking point. Starting in the early 20th century, there was a complete party re-alignment. In Lincoln’s time, the Republican Party was the “left” party and the Democrats were the “right” party. Literally anyone who’s “checked the facts” should know this. It’s not even controversial.

Are you aware the parties were essentially reversed 150 years ago? I think you are the one who needs to “check the facts”
