        And you know which party supported slavery? THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY! The Republican party formed to FIGHT IT!

        Do you really think a pro-slavery southern Democrat who landed in 2016 via time machine would hesitate to vote Republican?

        I mean, do you think he'd actually look at the two platforms and go, "Hmm, I'm confused; which is more aligned with my views"?

        And do you acknowledge how far the current Republican party has diverged from that admirable past?

        Federalist papers: 1788 Dred Scott: 1857 14th: 1868 This syllogism underscores blacks weren't covered by federalist papers. @SumItUpNAPic

        Doesn't Wal-Mart have life insurance on all their employees to cover training replacements when workers die?

        Not just Wal-Mart. American Seniors nursing corporation and most likely, most low wages corporate jobs.

        Meanwhile, many low wagers don't have life insurance and have to GoFundMe their final expenses. Just sickening.
