Europe, Boring Until it's Not

[SuburbanFarmer]

Slavery was abolished by the republican party. The opposition to abolition was from democrats.

The Civil Rights Act was passed by a republican congress. The opposition to civil rights was from democrats.

We’ve been over this before. The Republican Party was not always “Right”.

Oh. So it was the republicans who were pro-labor unions and passed the New Deal??

When you have to jump a century, to maintain your line of Wrong, you should re-evaluate.

Okay. Where do I jump in history to find the republicans on the "left"?

Have you even thought this through?

Probably to the point where they abolished slavery and consolidated federal power. 1860s maybe?

They were always the party of business and industry. From day one.

Pro-slavery, like their analogous and contemporary pro-abortion, was the left's cause.

Except for the cotton industry, the sugar industry, the tobacco industry...

Not big business at all.

Republicans were the party of bankers, railroad, steel, etc. Their platform was the westward expansion and the rapid technological industrialization of America.

Democrats are the ones who have always been supportive of slavery. They are to this day. Instead of using the word slave, they use words like "undocumented migrant" and "child support payee".

I will, however, grant you that big business themselves flipped over in favor of slavery around the 1960s when unions became super powerful. Now both parties are down with it to some extent. But the only meaningful resistance to slavery today is coming from the right. People who want to abolish abortion are generally not coming from the left. People who want to stop the flow of illegal migrants to destroy the labor market are generally not coming from the left. People who want to reform the family court system to abolish the slavery of alimony and child support are not coming from the left.

Pro-slavery, like their contemporary pro-abort, was the left's cause.

Except for the cotton industry, the sugar industry, the tobacco industry...

There is no record of a Republican ever of owning a slave.

Heatwave is getting ridiculous. Spain and Portugal might get 42 C this week.

The PRC does not care if Euroweeinies fry in the heat - the PRC elites are comfortable in their air conditioned compounds - pollution is a problem only for proles.
