House Speaker Ongoing Melodrama
(10-31-2023, 01:37 PM)Belsnickel Wrote: The "Abe Lincoln was a Republican" crowd don't realize that neither party was wholly conservative or wholly liberal until the mid-twentieth century. Why do they think that the era of Theodore Roosevelt was called the "Progressive Era?" It's not because TR was a conservative, and he was absolutely a Republican (which was his complaint about his nephew, FDR, that he was a Democrat). It was the backlash to FDR that really began the ideological divide.

that's why I don't cling to party names as a mantra.  It is far better to understand the political philosophy of each party at the time period being talked about.
