For reasons, the Republican and Democratic parties essentially switched stances in the late 19th/early 20th century. It's how you end up with the Republican party fighting the civil war to end slavery under Lincoln and then opposing civil rights in the 60s.

To explain it simply, in the civil war days, democrats were pro slavery and Republicans were against it. Lincoln was a republican. By today's standards though, he would have been a Democrat. Sometime between the civil war and now, the 2 parties swapped values. They used to be reversed

The Democratic Party was pro-slavery and A.Lincoln the Great Emancipator was the 1st president of the Republican party.

Their stance were completely flipped more than 100 years ago.

Um, they didnt swap values. No one in the Republican Party today is pro slavery, those who support slavery dont exist in either party today.

Notice how he said "sometime between the civil war and now", not specifically "today".

That being said, PragerU made a video just last week about how slavery was necessary.

Actually never heard one say that. Worst I recall hearing (still ignorant as fuck though) is they should all go back to Africa

And there was that thing where they said Robert E. Lee statues should remain because he crushed a slave rebellion

It was the "big government" vs. "small government" issue that ultimately swapped in the parties.

In essence, Republicans have always been for big business and still are. It's just that in the post Civil War era, when new states were being adopted into the Union in the west, having a government that operated big helped that big business. Democrats wanted little government interference.

Once all those states were settled and business was properly booming, Republicans were like "good now back off" to government and became the party of small government.

Social justice honestly had little to do with it.

I've always assumed that the truth is far more complex than "they switched names after the civil war", though I've been too apathetic to actually look up the truth. Seems like the only reason people talk about it one way or another is to argue their moral superiority of current action by appealing to past action.

They're not a college. They just want to sound like one.

Honestly that should tell you everything about how genuine they are.

It's a youtube channel created by a fundamentalist radio host that pretends to be a university.

They literally just make these videos. They call themselves Prager University so people think they're legitimate.

Remember that people who deny or feign ignorance of the party switch know exactly why the party switch happened. Also that Dennis Prager has already made videos defending slavery.
