46. Ideologically, the Republicans are the same party as the southern secessionists during the Civil War

I don't get how people don't see that. They cry, "Oh but Lincoln was a Republican!" the worst of the worst southern Democrats who were Democrats because Lincoln was a Republican, those Dems jumped ship in the 1960s when LBJ started his Civil Rights push. Today's GOP are the racists from the Dem party from the south who took over the GOP when somebody decided that nobody can win a Presidential election with out the south. You can track the lineage of today's' Republican party directly to Southern traitors, racists and slave owners from the Civil War.
