    democrat origins are that they want free money
    republican origins are that they hate non-white people (and will use it to get free money)

    republicans basically wanted slavery ended because they wanted fewer black people

    nothing has changed in 200 years

      I really don’t think this is accurate. The early Republican party was full of serious radicals looking to restructure society along more just lines. Their party got co-opted (because no demcent Marxism Leninism), but the people who drove the early days of the party were legit and worthy of respect as early fighters for liberation.
