They really need to stop it with the Democrats/Republicans of the 1800's. They flipped ideologies. Get over it.

Yeah, I've found that most conservatives have trouble imagining things being different than RIGHT NOW.

So, for them Democrats of old are exactly like Democrats today. And if you asked them how someone got from Washington DC to San Francisco in 1919, they'd say that they drove.

And, yeah, they did, but it took the Army to send a convoy of 80 trucks for men and supplies. It took them 62 days to make it.

They averaged a pace of 6 miles an hour. It took them all day to go from Washington DC to Frederick, Maryland. Today, that is about an hour drive (without rushhour traffic).

Now, keep in mind, that blistering pace was on the maintained roads and the "highway" system.

they kept that pace up until they got to Nebraska.

And shit slowed way down.

Then it got worse in Utah. There were some days they were able to speed along at 200 yards.

For the day.

Even in the states between DC and Nebraska, they had to rebuild bridges to be able to handle the weight of 1 truck or find a way around them.

Conservative idiots just keep focusing that democrats were started by the kkk, Most if not almost all memebers of the kkk are conservatives and yet they still try to find excuses

1850's/60's
"Conservatives" = Democrats
"Liberals" = Republicans

1950's/60's
"Conservatives" = Republicans
"Liberals" = Democrats

And the whole "party of lincoln" thing while waving the confederate flag...it's like.. wtf?!?

lol i think everyone wants to be the party of lincoln and they do not wish to be disillusioned so they fixate on the name of the party rather than its policies.

i looked it up and the kkk was actually started by confederate veterans so neither side left nor right created it but later on the alt right started following it.

Those were “conservative Christians” of the day that started the klan.

bruh
