That the US has gone from Lincoln to Trump in 164 years says everything about the decline in American culture. It is terminal. Read Lincoln's Second Inauguration and see how nothing so elevated and profound could ever have come from the buffoon at Madison Square Garden. But Trump is half of America today - the half that will bring it down.
The only person Democrats hated more than Trump was Lincoln.
They almost destroyed their party over that hatred.
Only the leniency of General Grant, General Sherman, and President Johnson saved them.
Since you're a moron you don't know that the Southern Democrats became Republican in the mid 20th century. They were opposed to desegregation and so changed parties. They are at home with the Republican party.

I missed seeing any meeting where the groups decided to change parties. How did it work? Did they trade bank accounts, and HQ offices?
The liberal meltdown has been quite enjoyable. The joy is immeasurable. They look exactly how I imagined they would.
A meltdown is more like storming the Nations Capitol. Now thats a meltdown baby!!
No, that would be Antifa/BLM meltdown where they burned down major cities for 3 months, injured over 2000 police officers, killed over 20 people, destroyed family businesses that will never come back, took over police stations for months, that's YOU pal, that's the left wing way...look January 6th, but don't look over there. Cry harder sissy boy. You lost.
I'm just glad the red welfare states will be far worse off after trump instates his tariffs.
Congrats to trump anyway. I can't figure out how his businesses all failed, yet here he was able to sell his toilet bowl of an administration to the American people. Maybe the Democrats shouldn't have run a fading octogenarian or a wildly unpopular vice president. 🤔

So you know nothing about how political change occurs over time in a large society. You would have no idea how democracy disappeared amongst Germans in the late 20's, so that the nation became a fascist state by the mid-30s. To a child's mind like yours it has to be simple, as though you're talking about a local floral society changing its membership. You know nothing of your own nation's history.
Southern Democrats lost support to Republicans with the increased power that Republicans had after the Civil War and with populations moving north for work, but there was a significant shift in voter affiliations with the introduction of Civil rights and desegregation in the South in the 50s and 60s. Many former Democrat voters became Republican and their politics began to move the Republican Party to the right, where it has progressed further and further.

The real thing you seem to not understand is the old adage that still rings true today: If you are a Republican when you are young, then you have no heart, and if you are still a Democrat when you get older, you have no brain.

Name some of those democrat senator or congressmen that changed party affiliation from d to r in the 50's or 60's.
It’s all politics. And it still is, for those who really listen close. It’s why we need to flip the script. We must tell the real story of what happened in 1948 and 1964. The Republican Party didn’t change, but rather it was the Democratic Party’s transformation (becoming more progressively left) that split their party. The South was also fundamentally transformed by civil rights legislation led by Republicans, not Democrats, in Congress. We should also note that until Democratic “Great Society” welfare policies of the Johnson administration gave black voters an economic reason to vote “blue,” Black America was a Republican voting block. Between 1865 and 1965, Black America backed Lincoln’s “Grand Old Party” (The G.O.P.). Notable Blacks like Sojourner Truth, Booker T. Washington, George Washington Carver, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Jackie Robinson were all Republicans. So the “big switch” was neither big nor a switch. It was the Democratic party in turmoil. It was a South being forced to end segregation and other civil rights abuses. It was the result of Republicans emigrating to Southern states post-1965 because it now reflected their more conservative values. It was also about Southern politicians recognizing the writing on the wall…and their future in it. This wasn’t their father’s (or grandfather’s) South anymore. It was a new day. And both Nixon and Reagan took advantage of it.

At some point you idiot leftists need to figure out that you're being lied to by your masters.
The racist Southern Democrats all died racist Southern Democrats.
There was no magical day when the Democrats all woke up and became Republicans.
The stock market is at all time highs. Unemployment is very low.
Is he going to try to prosecute his political rivals as he said the should be prosecuted?
Is he going to push to have some networks lose their broadcast license since they are too partisan?
Is he going to really do mass deportations?
What is going to happen now that Trump will be in power and will have at least the Senate backing him up and likely the House too?
When will he start the tariffs program and what rate will he actually put on tariffs on China?
Will there be no taxes on overtime and on tips? - I kind of wondered about this one. Maybe I should declare myself to be a 1099 employee and ask for minimum wage and the rest of my wages be tips. Is there a reason companies couldn't do this for their employees? I don't take any benefits.
