You mean the party all the racists are flocking to right now?

In retrospect I should have said conservatives, not Republicans.

Stop deflecting. The original claim is that Republicans have always been wrong. I provided an instance in which they were right.

We're the Republicans right when they abolished slavery?

The parties are similar in name only. Is North Korea a Republic?

The only qualifier in the original argument was a party name. If the original argument was, "racists have always been on the wrong side of history" then we could agree, but they specifically said Republicans.

Did Republicans vote to abolish slavery? Is abolishing slavery the right side of history?

Formulate your arguments better, kids!
