If only the Republicans lost the civil war all of this could have been avoided....

Today’s GOP wouldn’t recognize Lincoln - and he’d vomit at what they’ve become. Modern ‘Republicanism’ is just oligarchy in a flag pin, a 180° from its origins.

The ‘party of Lincoln’ is now the party of Lochner, a time when even their Supreme Court judges tried to chain workers to corporate fiefdoms and to this day still want to doom workers and the pours to eternal serfdom.

Well if they did slavery would still exist which would be worse... Although with the way things are going, it's not about race but class now. Slavery coming back for low to middle income. Or rather cannon fodder and rabble.
