How Republicans went from the party of Lincoln to the party of Trump, in 13 maps
By Andrew Prokop

Donald J. Trump has won the presidency of the United States, due to strong support among white voters. This is a remarkable turn of events, and it only gets more remarkable when you think back to how the Republican Party began its existence: fighting against the expansion of slavery.

Over the past century and a half, though, the party of Abraham Lincoln has changed dramatically. It went from a party that was racially progressive for its times, to one that gets little support from nonwhite voters. And it went from a Northern-only party, to one that dominates the South. Here's how it happened.

White boy posing as angry knee grow says...
 
....Donald Trump and white people are just evil.....even though he's only been POTUS for a couple of years, he's made black people's lives terrible ..and IM2's life too--right IM2?
..and those REPUBLICANS!!! they've ruined black people's lives
Republicans are:
racist
hateful
etc
rich WHITE Republicans like Rev Wright says--correct?
 
Its amazing how Republicans are color-blind always focusing on jobs and the economy, and democrats only focus on maintaining control in their urban plantations using their MSM propaganda arm. All the dems have is the race card because their policies suck.
I wouldn't be surprised if Trump gets more "stealth" minority votes than anyone would imagine.

Thank you for the informative article. The way I see Republican history is like this:

The Republican Party was the party of Lincoln until Reagan destroyed it and it became the party of Reagan until Trump destroyed the Party of Reagan and it became the Party of Trump. I look at it this way, the Trumplican Party, as I call it, arose from the corpse of the Party of Reagan like the Alien.

Lincoln, T. Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Ford have little, if anything, in common with Trumplicans of today.

Trumplicans philosophy consist of mishmash or ideologies, including, nationalism, authoritarism, nativism, and neo-liberalism.

Trumpism at times is less a party than a cult of personality.

Read the posts of Trumplicans here.

You would be hard pressed to find a difference between those posts and those praising Mao and Kim Jong Un from their minions.

No president fucked over Americans like Lincoln did...He should have ordered the slaves be sent home to Africa. You agree with that I’m sure?

I know what Lincoln was, that's why republicans need to quit trying to pretend.

They are correct in their assessment of the republican party. The video is not from vox. The only reason I posted the article was that I didn't want my thread to close because a white faggot like you would whine about a link.

If the video is not from Vox, why did it have their emblem at the start of the video?

I watched the video, and it really gave little information as to why blacks stick with the Democrat party. A better explanation is given by my favorite economist, Dr Walter E Williams. It's a very short read and hits a lot of direct points quickly. It's worth the minute or so of your time so you can understand the real reason for this solidarity between blacks and the Democrat party.

Lincoln was very progressive for his time. Are you gonna pretend you don't know that?


No he wasn't. He did what was politically expedient as all polititions do. Here is a nice little article to get you started. Cut, paste and Google and you will see Lincoln was more concurned with keeping the flow of cotton, beef, leather and produce flowing north. Lincoln was more of an LBJ then anything else.
