Make Republicans Actually Great Again! The main point is that the Republican Party would be better if it remembered and returned to its original principles. It would enjoy broader appeal, better serve all Americans, and work toward uniting us all rather than dividing us all. The direction of the modern party is divisive, even internally, and the movement is fracturing as a result. We deserve better from our parties. Hopefully by calling out both sides, we can make them better! Republican’s Key Historical Achievements: 1️⃣ Republican Party founded to abolish slavery. 2️⃣ President Lincoln issues the Emancicpation Proclimation calling for the abolition of slavery. 3️⃣ 13th, 14th, 15th amendments (Reconstruction amendment) introduced by Republicans and passed by a Republican majority. 4️⃣ 1866 + 1957 Civil Rights Acts proposed by and passed by mostly Republican votes. 5️⃣ 1964 Civil Rights Act introduced by LBJ but majority of its votes came from Republicans. 📝Note about party realignment: Yes, there was a realignment — especially in the South as a result of the “Southern Strategy”— but it wasn’t a clean flip where the parties simply traded ideologies. The Democratic Party gradually shifted left on cultural and social issues, while the Republican Party absorbed many former Southern Democrats. That process took decades and didn’t erase the earlier values each party once held. This video isn’t saying the parties are the same today — it’s showing how far they’ve moved from where they once were. —— #republicans #politics #History

What the hell happened to the Republican Party? They used to actually do things. It was the party that fought to end slavery and won. They were also the party that wrote the Reconstruction Amendments. Freeing the slaves, giving them citizenship, past early civil rights laws, even helped deliver women the right to vote. The party even boasts great leaders, like Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, and Eisenhower. And even features key historical figures like Frederick Douglass, Susan B. Anthony, and Booker T. Washington. This should be the spirit and platform of the party. It's like the Patriots forgetting about Tom Brady and its six Super Bowl trophies. The Republicans have a rich history and, if used effectively, can bridge the divide in American politics. Become well-welcome to all backgrounds. Build a real movement and march the nation forward toward excellence and opportunity for all Americans. So what happened? A party that once built the country became a party that mostly reacts to it. Always on defense, always angry, always complaining, rarely fixing. Today, the loudest voices shaping the party are legislators where builders, as you would expect. Instead, their personalities, influencers, think Nick Fuentes, Taco Carlson, Candice Owens. They don't deliver results. They just talk. Even the leader of the party and the nation right now is a formerly-ality TV personality himself. And look, I get it. Voters were desperate for an outsider to come in and shake things up. And they craved a voice that was authentic, but results matter. When transparency is promised, but not delivered, like fumbling the release of the Epstein files, when social media posts turn cruel or petty instead of presidential, that's not strength. That's not leadership. And it doesn't inspire a long-lasting movement.
