Yeah, they're too stuck on Democrats vs. Republicans; though some do that on this stream as well. I almost posted a prediction that the politics stream would do a bunch of Bill Clinton posts, but I figured too many people already knew that was coming.

Compared to those parties since the 1960s, they are both DINOs and RINOs. There really was a long and complex switch.

Democrats in name only, but the north just had a much larger population, so more voters. Republicans were still the dominant party in the north.

True!

This has been a thing for years, along with thinking the Nazis were socialists. The truth is just too inconvenient.
