BUT....SNIP...'THE INCONVENIENT TRUTH ABOUT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY'

Some right wing extremists blatantly lie about it, while others are simply ignorant. Simply put, when it comes to matters of race, the R and D parties 'switched ideologies.'

<"July 16 marks the 160th anniversary of the most destructive riot in U.S. history. On July 13, 1863, certain Democrats in New York City rose up against the Lincoln administration. Four days later, at least 119 people were dead, another 2,000 wounded. Rioters destroyed between $1 and $5 million in property including about fifty buildings, two churches, and an asylum for orphaned Black children. In today's dollars, that would be between $20 million and about $96 million in damage.

While the Republican and Democratic parties swapped ideologies almost exactly 100 years after the New York City draft riots, the questions of state and federal power, race, and political narratives, and how those things came together in the United States are still with us."
