Democrats Want You To Believe Lincoln Wasn't A Real Republican. Like Usual, They're Wrong​




You've probably heard a Democrat say "If Lincoln were alive, he'd be a Democrat." Here's why that's a bunch of BS.

OP: I'll tell you why, the Democrats are the party of Socialism, Sodomy (gay marriage), Infanticide (late term abortion), not allowing Conservative free speech on Youtube and elsewhere, Antifa and BLM Marxist thugs and bullies burning cities, defunding police, Fascist lockdown, voter fraud, and more.
 
I have know that since Trump realized Lincoln was a Republican and made the announcement to America. Who knew. Spoiler. Everyone but Trump I guess.
 
Lincoln does not really fit either party. He was a relatively simple man in a primitive world with entirely different rules and values. Were he to see our world he would be at a total loss. Anything he supported or condemned would be from a place of ignorance.
 
Lincoln was a Unionist. But he took the side of freeing the slaves, a Liberal position.

It is more important to look at conservative and progressive at the time. Of course the conservative in the south were not for freeing the slaves.

By our standards nearly everyone in 1860 was conservative. There were lots of people against slavery but far, far fewer were for giving blacks the full rights of citizenship.

I agree, but when the Republicans start talking about wanting to give Blacks equal right back in the day, it is simply not true. Conservatives in the south wanted to keep the slaves and in the north, the conservatives just didnt care. They were interested in the industrial revolution.

Not for inhumane reasons.. they knew blacks could never assimilate..

Lol everyone was a conservative.. Bill Clinton Barack Obama or more conservative than trump.. Bill Clinton and Obama were against gay marriage and immigration.
 
I don't understand what you are saying. I am not being a smart ass, can you tell me what you mean by this?
Blacks have a different culture then Americans,, they would divide America, which they have. Abraham Lincoln didn’t want division he wanted to send Black people to the Caribbean. by 1861 blacks were actually family members living on peoples property, they were in many Instances family.. now if Abraham Lincoln was to come gather all the blacks and send them to the Caribbean that would be horrible for many southern families.

many families wanted to go to Kansas to give land to the slaves, as reparations but northerners would not permit it.

"Blacks have a different culture then Americans, " you do know blacks are American too, right?
Thanks for explaining this to me. Kinda what I was afraid you were saying.

The problem is no one really knows much about Lincoln. Yes, he was racist. During the famous Lincoln Douglas debates he clearly inferred that he believed blacks were inferior to whites and that the best solution was to ship them back to Africa. Interesting that the OP video jumps into the 20th century to claim the Republican party is the same.

He was a protectionist, which is actually the opposite view of most conservatives, although they threw their free market credentials away in supporting Trump's tariffs. I mean he was so much of a protectionist that he famously jumped out of a second story window to avoid a quorum call on a vote concerning subsidies to the railroads.

But the real picture of Lincoln can be seen in the Republican national convention of 1860. It was a shit show, and plagued with back room deals and back stabbing. It set the foundation for the modern Republican conventions--a banner week for prostitutes across the country, as school girls were paid for escorting so called "gentlemen" into the convention.

It is really kind of comical. The Trump supporters want to trot out Lincoln, and yet there were some under-handed things going on concerning the vote counting during the nomination vote. When the deadline came the secretary of the party said that the paperwork necessary to tabulate the votes was not ready. Seward would have been nominated that very night, but since the paperwork was not ready, it didn't happen. Then magically, the next morning, the paperwork was ready and Lincoln won.

I mean this is a level of "fraud" that is more like Mondale beating Reagan than Biden beating Trump. Seward had at least two thirds of the delegates in the bag, and yet the little known Lincoln, from the state of the convention, that was the first convention to be broadcast nationally and plagued with local residents taking spectator seats, ended up with the nomination. The reality is Lincoln was a crook, a fraudster, a manipulator, He was mentally ill, and only continued to decline in his mental facilities as his term progressed. Come to think about it, Trump may very well be the modern day Lincoln.
