How can Republicans call themselves the party of Lincoln when

[Baitball Blogger]

today they support racist policies, racist tropes and a racist president?

Any reasonable person would recognize that in the Civil War they would have been on the confederate side.

Time to protect Lincoln's legacy.

1. Maybe they're thinking of a different Lincoln, either that or

They have no idea who Lincoln was.

4. George Lincoln Rockwell, maybe?

2. The only thing that binds the GOP together is.....

hate and selfishness. All their shitty traits branch out from those town cornerstones.

3. The last vestiges of Abraham Lincoln

Left the Republican Party in 1912 with Theodore Roosevelt. After that, they became a subsidiary of corporate America and.the 1%'s.

5. They have NO great conservative leaders to claim.

None.

So the right claims Lincoln, and the far left, with the same dilemma, claims FDR. We should just be flattered. And of course defend both from the inevitable distortion of their records.

6. Since 1968, they are the party of Jefferson Davis.

8. Because Propaganda is all they have.

Lincoln's a club they can use to bash Dems, and a shield to fend off attacks.

Nothing more. They don't give a flying fuck about his legacy.
