Here's a thread of quotes from great Republicans from history that would be called far-left socialists by Trump-supporters today. The list includes Abraham Lincoln, Hiram Johnson, Ulysses S. Grant, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Margaret Chase Smith, Theordore Roosevelt, and others.

"The strongest bond of human sympathy, outside of the family relation, should be one uniting all working people, of all nations, and tongues, and kindreds." -Abraham Lincoln

"Industry, like government, exists only by the cooperation of all, and, like government, it must guarantee equal protection to all." -Jeannette Rankin

"I believe that under modern industrial conditions it is often necessary, and even where not necessary it is yet often wise, that there should be organization of labor in order better to secure the rights of the individual wage-worker." -Theodore Roosevelt

"I speak as a Republican. I speak as a woman. I speak as a United States Senator. I speak as an American. I don’t want to see the Republican Party ride to political victory on the four horsemen of calumny— fear, ignorance, bigotry and smear." -Margaret Chase Smith

"The chief problem of the low-income farmers is poverty." -Nelson Rockefeller

"I have no use for those - regardless of their political party - who hold some foolish dream of spinning the clock back to days when unorganized labor was a huddled, almost helpless mass." -Dwight D. Eisenhower

"In this State all parties stand committed to a just and adequate law whereby the risk of the employment shall be placed not upon the employee alone, but upon the employment itself." -Hiram Johnson

"Unions have a secure place in our industrial life. Only a handful of unreconstructed reactionaries harbor the ugly thought of breaking unions. Only a fool would try to deprive working men and women of the right to join the union of their choice." -Dwight D. Eisenhower

"Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration." -Abraham Lincoln

"Under the old regime they were looked down upon by those who controlled all the affairs in the interest of slave-owners, as poor white trash who were allowed the ballot so long as they cast it according to direction." -Ulysses S. Grant

"The framers of our Constitution firmly believed that a republican government could not endure without intelligence and education generally diffused among the people." -Ulysses S. Grant
