Snowflake...Thomas Jefferson vehemently opposed the U.S. Constitution because it expanded the federal government. He wanted to continue under the Articles of Confederation. You should stop commenting on stuff that you are uneducated about.
which has nothing to do with whether or not he wanted to end Slavery.
If anything, that probably strengthens my argument. the UNWORKABLE AOC just left states to do their own thing, which was kind of a terrible idea.
Ah yes...the old “everybody agreed to flip sides” progressive wing-nut argument. Yawn. Nobody flipped sides, snowflake. There was no big conspiracy. The same GOP that freed the slaves is the same GOP that lead the Civil Rights movement and is the same GOP that Ronald Reagan lead.
Guy, nobody agreed to "switch sides". Things just evolved.
As I've pointed out, my Dad was a strict Eisenhower/Nixon Republican. He'd be horrified at what the GOP has turned into today. So would Nixon and Ike,for that matter.
The GOP didn't "Lead the civil rights movement". Their candidate in 1964 opposed the Civil Rights Act, and Nixon, being kind of a cynical guy he was, couldn't wait to pick up all the people who left the Democrats because LBJ did.
And the same racist, hateful Dumbocrats who killed black people and attacked their own nation to keep blacks enslaved is the same Dumbocrats who vehemently opposed the Civil Rights Act and is the same Dumbocrats today who want to continue slavery in the form of welfare and other highly illegal, idiotic government “programs”.
Hey, guy, maybe you should have a talk with all your fellow conservatives who proudly put Confederate Generals and Flags in their Avis about how they were all bad old liberals.
“Selfishness” - the hallmark of the left. The selfish progressive wing-nuts scream “you are selfish!” if someone refuses to provide for them like slaves.
I've never asked anyone to provide for me. Maybe in ten years, when I retire, but that's another story.
Now, hey, if the wealth was fairly and evenly distributed, to where the people who did the work saw the rewards, we wouldn't need an entitlement state.
