> Dems love slavery and keeping everyone down but the master class. Back in the day you were the party that supported actual real slavery. You do now. The means and methods changed, the concept the same.

Back in the day it was a party called “Democratic” that supported slavery, and a party called “Republican” that opposed it. Those two parties are not the same parties that we have today, even though the same names are still used. And in fact, the modern party closest to the Democrats of the 1800s is the party now called “Republican”.
