    They’d campaign hard against Lincoln for being a defender of slavery, despite him being the only anti-slavery candidate with a chance of winning in 1860.

    They don’t care how many marginalized groups are beat, raped, starved, and murdered, so long as they can jerk themselves off over how pure (or nonexistent) their ballot was.

        John Brown, who was widely celebrated by Republicans in the Union? The ‘Liberals’ you so despise?

          I’m not even usaian but I now that republican and democrats were the opposite sides compared to today. Are you deliberately trying to be dishonest or are you just stupid?

          Also liberalism is a word usaians have a hard time grasping what it is. it’s a specific ideology not a party. Neoliberal ideas are shared on both heads of the US plutocracy

            Yes, and the Republicans of the time were very much liberals.

            Are you deliberately trying to be dishonest or are you just stupid?

            Big Dunning-Kruger energy.

              Ah I take it as the first one there. Maybe you could have vote harder against slavery? John Brown is a terrorist for you. Not for me.

                So glad you made sure that shitlib Lincoln wasn’t elected, it would have been truly terrible if someone who wasn’t an unconditional supporter of slavery was in charge of the country.
