As I said. The conservatives. There isn't a non conservative party in the US, especially after the Clintons got done reforming the DNC.
You can try to "both parties the same," this shit, but history won't back you up. It has always been the far right pushing individual, rather than trained militia, ownership of guns, as well as pushing gun control while screaming that the more moderate conservatives were going to do what they were already doing.
Seems to be a pattern of projection there.
Lol. Gun control got pushed when the Black Panthers advocated for legal possession, afaik.
That's when it got passed in California. Conservatives managed some gun control laws in a lot of other states prior and after that. The rich funded movement started getting pushed for as far back as The Business Plot. Again, please read your history. The rich literally declared war on the poor in Congress in the 1920s.
Wilson is arguably tied with Jackson for most damaging president to the US ever in the history of the US. And Jackson is barely hanging in there with the worst, deepest (by percentage of the GDP, not raw dollar amounts), longest depression in US history, caused partially, but it was the straw that broke the camel's back, by paying off the entirety of the national debt, and The Trail of Tears.
If you're going that far, may as well start with Washington, as I said. And yes, it's both sides.
Then you literally can't start with Washington, as he was a vocal no party candidate, literally not officially running for office, and the last thing he said as the POTUS, while there were people begging him to NOT step down, was, "I sincerely hope and pray that The United States never engages in partisan politics, for if we do it will lead to the downfall of this potentially great democracy."
Jefferson and Madison would also be questionable there since they were actively pushing for more rights for the citizenry. Jefferson actively trying to prevent the "tyranny of ancestors," despite his questionable views, he failed but he tried. Madison meanwhile protested the "tyranny of the rich, privileged, and pirates." Madison just HATED pirates, and also had some questionable views.
Read your history. You have harmed yourself by not doing so.
Ah, Jefferson the slave owner who regularly raped his houseslave? Madison? I'm not sure who you think you're educating, or what Whitewashed history you'd have me read, but please, do continue. 😂
Yes, show your historical ignorance by framing people with your current understanding of morality. Jefferson was an abolishonist, or my ancestor would have lynched or shot him. Madison as well. Same for Washington, as I understand, though he never actually met my ancestor.
Try reading and understanding history. You are just showing that you are an uneducated reactionary authoritarian.
Oh honey...
Non-sequiter. You have no arguments, just like the southern states. Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina are why we started the union as slave states, by only a single vote. The same states rejected the policies that the first 5 presidents and all northern senators supported that would have made this country the first democratic socialist country on earth in 1808.
Learn your history, or bless your heart, sweetie.
Edit: f what I just said. I return your blessing, packed down, shaken together, and running over, darling.
Projection at its finest. Typical.
