With mobs of indoctrinated young people now targeting America’s Founding Fathers and even the foundations of the nation under the guise of tearing down “racism,” a much more logical place to start would be dismantling the Democratic Party. The party’s shameful history is literally filled with vicious racism, violence and oppression of black Americans.
It was America’s Founding Fathers who enshrined the then-revolutionary idea that “all men are created equal” and are “endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights.” This biblical ideal at the heart of America’s founding laid the foundation for abolishing slavery not just in America, but worldwide, despite the scourge having been ubiquitous throughout human history. It took time to realize that dream, but it eventually happened — first in America, later in other places.
The Democrats fought the process every step of the way, however. Less than one fourth of Democrats in Congress supported the 13th Amendment to end slavery. All 118 Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives voted in favor. Literally no Democrats supported the 14th and 15th amendments granting blacks full citizenship and protecting their right to vote. After Democrats lost the slavery battle, they worked fiendishly to restrict the rights of blacks in any way possible, including by founding the Ku Klux Klan and using terror.
By contrast, the Republican Party was literally founded in the mid-1800s in large part as a force to oppose the racist pro-slavery extremism of the Democrats. And of course, it was Republican political leaders, including President Abraham Lincoln, who fought to liberate black Americans from slavery and other oppression against the backdrop of staunch Democrat opposition.
