[u/unfinishedtoast3]

Technically, there's 2 who served before the Democratic party started, Roosevelt ended his political career as a Progressive with the Bull Moose Party, and the only Republican up there, Lincoln, destroyed the Confederacy modern MAGA loved so much.

[u/G-Man6442 → u/unfinishedtoast3]

Well yeah he took down the disgusting democrats!

No wait, they were the confederacy and the south will raise again!

But they’re bad because democrats, but also we need those statues of democrats because history even though they were put up-

You know what even I’m tired of this bit I’m doing.

Yes the confederacy were democrats, but the jackasses flying their flag are Republican nowadays

[u/Horns8585 → u/G-Man6442]

The Republican and Democratic parties have switched political ideologies since the Civil War. Modern day Republicans would have been Civil War era conservative Democrats that supported slavery and the Confederacy. It doesn't matter what they called themselves, the conservatives have always been the racists.

[u/Squatch-21 → u/Horns8585]

It’s wild how much they refuse to believe this as well.

[u/MorganL420 → u/Squatch-21]

They like to pretend the 1960's never happened. Too many things didn't go their way. They don't want you to know about the civil rights conflicts that happened across the nation, or that we lost the Vietnam war, or that government dollars can be spent in such miraculous ways that we can put the first man on the moon instead of having the first trillionare pretend to do the same, or that the EPA was established (yeah, I know that last one was 1970, but close enough).

[u/SunchaserKandri → u/Squatch-21]

It's more like they conveniently "forget" about the switch when it suits them.

[u/Asimov-was-Right → u/SunchaserKandri]

They actively disbelieve that it happens.

[u/briber67 → u/Horns8585]

This story illustrates the change in its entirety:

Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia and Senator Strom Thurman of South Carolina were both Democrats and were also both senior members of the Klu Klux Klan.

In the later years in the Senate, Sen. Byrd while remaining a loyal member of the Democratic Party, repudiated his membership in the KKK.

This contrasts with Sen. Thurman, who, in his later years, repudiated his membership in the Democratic party. He became a Republican.

[u/whiterac00n → u/Horns8585]

I don’t know why people are astounded by “stupid people of facebook” would find that a ton a actual really stupid people who can’t understand the party change and the politics. I certainly understand that the “daughters of the confederacy” have done enormous damage to the education of people in the “deep south” but anyone else is just being willfully stupid. Which really goes to show why we don’t need bots to influence our public perceptions. On the other hand it shows how much influence an entire army of bots and a handful of grifters can accelerate the entire process.

The daughters of the confederacy were openly pushing for something like this, but took a few generations. Now it’s “well I saw it on TikTok”.

[u/Vyzantinist → u/whiterac00n]

It's not a matter of can't understand the party switch but won't. Conservatives don't care about facts or truth and come to the table with nothing but lies and a determination to 'win' what they see as a competition. They either believe you are exactly the same, and trying to educate them on the party switch is just a ploy or tactic, or they're simply nihilistic trolls (so overwhelmingly represented on the right) who don't care either way and you're wasting your time on.

[u/whiterac00n → u/Vyzantinist]

Yes but what I was talking about is generational conditioning to specific textbooks that sold all over the country depending on the town. People learned the dumb stuff for generations and our government never bothered with it. And those textbooks were “states rights confederacy” not the “cornerstone”. It’s the “long psyOP”

[u/Mistress_Saff → u/Horns8585]

To be more accurate the New Deal pushed out the southern democrats (read "made them feel not listened to about being racist") who were courted by the Republican party.

[u/Horns8585 → u/Mistress_Saff]

Yes, the New Deal aimed to help the country and the people that were mightily struggling during the Great Depression. Conservatives did not like that. Then the signing of the Civil Rights Act cemented current day ideologies for the parties. Conservative Republicans were against civil rights and Democrats were for civil rights.

[u/Other_Log_1996 → u/G-Man6442]

The Confederacy was CONSERVATIVE Democrsts. That's the important distinction.

[u/CourtingBoredom → u/Other_Log_1996]

Yes, we know. Try educating magats of such a simple [and obvious] truth.......... 🫪

[u/Imursexualfantasy → u/G-Man6442]

Yeah trying going to a klan meeting or neonazi rally and screaming “you’re all a bunch of democrats” see how that goes for you. Something tells me you’ll be walking away with less teeth than you came in with.

[u/AssociateGood9653 → u/Imursexualfantasy]

But you’ll still have more teeth than they do

[u/Imursexualfantasy → u/AssociateGood9653]

In that case, walk in and ask for a smoothie.

[u/JH_111 → u/G-Man6442]

It’s easier to explain to people who think a historical party name is a gotcha that conservatives live where they have always lived, in the states where their traitor ancestors lived.

[u/H4RDCORE1 → u/JH_111]

I mean nothing says I'm intelligent like posting: "Cause there fricken stupid".

[u/Hottage → u/G-Man6442]

"God I love hanging this big red Democrat flag with a black cross on it next to my TRUMP 2028 one on my lifted pickup."

[u/HelpingMyDaddy → u/G-Man6442]

It's giving "the J6 insurrectionists were actually ANTIFA pretending to be trump supporters to make MAGA look back but also it's good that Trump pardoned all of them"

[u/Not_Allowed_to_Die → u/unfinishedtoast3]

They're all Liberals too. Washington and Jefferson were Liberals. Roosevelt and Lincoln were in the Republican party during it's Liberal phase. So all four are in fact Liberals. MAGA just love their Liberals.

[u/moonlite_equilibrium → u/Not_Allowed_to_Die]

We should all be fans of our liberal democracy 😇

(Even if it needs work)

[u/Il_calvinist → u/moonlite_equilibrium]

"In order to form a more perfect union..." those words mean something. It's not perfect but it's the best form of government.

[u/moonlite_equilibrium → u/Il_calvinist]

Cheers to that

[u/SportulaVeritatis → u/moonlite_equilibrium]

"...it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried..."

[u/tom8otomahto → u/Not_Allowed_to_Die]

Came here to say this. Thx. 👍

[u/biffbobfred → u/unfinishedtoast3]

Lincoln ran not as a Republican but the Union party his second term. Technically not a Republican (though it was basically Republican and some Unionist dems attached)

[u/Icy_Fish_2154 → u/biffbobfred]

Lincoln was a lifelong Whig, only converting to Republican shortly before his presidential run.

[u/Odd_Figure2797 → u/unfinishedtoast3]

The Democratic-Republicans were the party of Jefferson, founded by him in 1792.

[u/Fireball_Dawn → u/unfinishedtoast3]

I mean by today’s standards Lincoln would be a Democrat.

It’s fun to ask republicans which of his policies they liked as they aligned more with Democrats of today.

[u/Not_Sure__Camacho → u/unfinishedtoast3]

Get outta here with your facts, you're going to hurt MAGA's feelings!

[u/Bubbly-Following-966]

MAGA are the dumbest thing in American history.

1. Washington didn't belong to any political party.
   1. Thomas Jefferson was a co-founder of the modern Democrat party.

There are no modern Democrats on Mount Rushmore primarily due to historical timing and the specific historical narrative chosen by the sculptor. However, looking at the history of the monument, the absence of modern

Democrats comes down to three main factors:

1. The Timeline of the Monument

Mount Rushmore was conceived in 1923 and carved between 1927 and 1941. The sculptor, Gutzon Borglum, selected the four presidents to represent the first 150 years of American history.

• Many of the most iconic modern Democratic presidents—such as Harry S. Truman, John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon B. Johnson—served decades after the monument was finished.

• Even Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR), who was president while the monument was actively being carved, had not yet established his full presidential legacy when the design and four selections were permanently locked in during the mid-1920s.

That's why there are no democrats on Mt. Rushmore.

[u/biffbobfred → u/Bubbly-Following-966]

There are no republicans either. TR was bull moose. Lincoln technically ran on the Union party his second term. Mostly Republican but not quite he tried to bring in some Dems

[u/Bubbly-Following-966 → u/biffbobfred]

💯

[u/zonearc → u/Bubbly-Following-966]

They can't read.

[u/Bubbly-Following-966 → u/zonearc]

"I love the poorly educated voters!" - DJT..

[u/Top-Increase-6774 → u/Bubbly-Following-966]

Actually, Jefferson is one of the founders of the OG Republicans, which historians now call Democratic-Republicans to help distinguish from Lincoln’s Republican Party. The Democratic Party may have arisen from the Jackson split later down the line, but the party had little in common with the modern Democratic party. They were the states rights, small government, agrarian vision guys. Then again, the Federalists were also not a perfect fit for the modern Democratic Party with the big business, industrial support. They do have some elements in common like advocacy for a stronger federal government and an element of anti-slavery from voices like Hamilton. But neither is a perfect match. As I teach my APUSH students, the parties have undergone 6 shifts over the course of history, so any comparisons like in the meme are just straight up nonsense. The parties have shifted and switched to much to make blanket comparisons. The only real thread, at least in my eyes is the Federal Government-States Right debates which have happened since the beginning. But even that gets messy during TR’s era because there won’t be that much daylight in that era between his and Wilson’s overall approach on progressive issues.

[u/IAteTonysLoMein → u/Bubbly-Following-966]

Given what a raging dickbag Borglum was, it's a surprise he didn't put Jackson in place of TR

[u/GrandMoffTarkan]

Jefferson was a Democratic-Republican, the institutional precursor of the Democratic party FWIW. The Democrats have a big fundraiser called the Jefferson-Jackson Dinner

[u/Not_Allowed_to_Die → u/GrandMoffTarkan]

Technically he wasn't either. They didn't have these parties back then. But he was a Liberal. So was the other three.

[u/mimenet → u/Not_Allowed_to_Die]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic-Republican_Party

[u/ActualHumanONReddit]

The Democratic party didn't exist until 1828, well after George Washington and Thomas Jefferson served. Gutzon Borglum selected these four presidents because from his perspective, they represented the most important events in the history of the United States. 

George Washington - unaffiliated with any party

Thomas Jefferson - Democratic-Republican

Theodore Roosevelt - Bull Moose Party

Abraham Lincoln - Republican Party

[u/mercuriokazooie → u/ActualHumanONReddit]

And Lincoln's Republican Party is far more in line with the Democratic Party of today. But they never like hearing that part because they still think saying KKK were Democrats is a "gotcha"

[u/B1G_Fan → u/mercuriokazooie]

Republicans: “The party switch is a myth, bro!”

Everyone with their head on straight: “Then, why are you worshipping Confederate Statues built by Southern Democrats??”

[u/mercuriokazooie → u/B1G_Fan]

Just ask them to tell you again which party the KKK of today ENTHUSIASTICALLY supports?

[u/Mythosaurus → u/B1G_Fan]

Yes, always ask them to join in on talking shit about Lee and the Confederacy!

[u/sometimeserin → u/mercuriokazooie]

Paraphrasing Jamelle Bouie here, but: That’s only because the Civil War briefly catalyzed the party system into turbo-racists vs everyone else. The ideological cohesion of the parties broke down pretty quickly afterwards and never really got close to the same level until the realignment of the 1960’s to today. There were some common themes, like the Democrats being a little more pro-labor but also a little more racist. And occasionally you had a president who had a popular enough platform to rally the national parties for/against said platform. But mostly both parties were pragmatic coalitions of regional interests.

[u/biffbobfred → u/ActualHumanONReddit]

Lincoln ran in his second term on the Union party. Technically none of these guys was Dem or Republican.

[u/Away_Woodpecker8813 → u/ActualHumanONReddit]

Teddy Rosevelt was a progressive. His nephew copied his philosophies and is considered the most liberal president we ever had. They can’t let Teddy be progressive because then the most man of all men was a liberal.

[u/nub_node → u/Away_Woodpecker8813]

Teddy Roosevelt is like Jesus, Republicans love him but hate most of his teachings.

[u/MsMercyMain → u/nub_node]

Teddy is basically impossible to put coherently on the political compass, albeit he's best described as a progressive. He's a lot like LBJ in that his politics and opinions when you really dig deep are all over the place

[u/Historytech → u/Away_Woodpecker8813]

He was a progressive in many ways for sure notably domestic economic policy, though he’d probably have been closer to a social Republican and absolutely a hawkish Republican.

[u/Glad-Ride-1749 → u/Historytech]

It is important to also to note the HOW National Park Land was gained when it was founded. Fun fact, it was not chill.

[u/SuccessfulRaccoon957 → u/Away_Woodpecker8813]

He's really a kind of politician that basically doesn't exist anymore where he held a mix of both progressive and conservative values as a public platform. His trust busting actions are considered incredibly progressive even by modern standards but he also continued the policy of us imperialism in Latin and South America and continued to genocide the native Americans.

[u/Other_Log_1996 → u/ActualHumanONReddit]

In the case of Roosevelt, it was actually more because he and Borglum were personal friends.

[u/iismitch55 → u/Other_Log_1996]

It’ll take more than that to kill a Bull Moose!

[u/Northman86 → u/ActualHumanONReddit]

The Democrat Republicans ultimately resulted in the Democrats and Whig parties.

[u/Yeseylon → u/ActualHumanONReddit]

Wasn't Jefferson's party the precursor of Dems?

[u/braniac021 → u/ActualHumanONReddit]

George Washington gets a pass as "unaffiliated", even though he pretty clearly aligned with Hamilton's Federalists and after Jefferson resigned his cabinet was practically all Federalists.

[u/Ok_Star_4136 → u/ActualHumanONReddit]

Can I just add, the irony of someone writing "Cause there fricken stupid" as a comment on that?

"Cause" is not the right word, the right term is supposed to be "Because".

"There" is the wrong word here, it should be "they're".

"Fricken" is just a bad spelling of "freaking".

[u/WolfieSamurai]

There's also no republicans

[u/MacPzesst → u/WolfieSamurai]

Lincoln was the first Republican, but he was a staunch liberal.

[u/Squatch-21 → u/MacPzesst]

It’s fun to bring this up and watch republicans melt. He’d fucking hate the current Republican Party.

Honestly makes me sick seeing them parade him around and have their “Lincoln dinners”.

[u/codefinity → u/Squatch-21]

That's why they have that Lincoln Project YT channel that facts all of the MAGA degenerates.

[u/Truthseeker308 → u/Squatch-21]

Also, not for nothing, but Democratiic comes BEFORE Republican in Jefferson’s party affiliation.

[u/Gingeronimoooo → u/Squatch-21]

Watch them melt?

You wrongly assume the MAGA cult have shame, or critical thinking skills, or give a fuck about reality

Sorry dude, but you are right about Lincoln being a progressive for the time

[u/Squatch-21 → u/Gingeronimoooo]

Oh, I mean melt as in meltdown about how THEY are the party of Lincoln, THEY are the party that freed the slaves.

They would never in their life actually admit any wrongdoing.

I have a nephew named Lincoln. I made the joke when they named him that they would actually hate who Lincoln actually was.

[u/biffbobfred → u/Squatch-21]

Regan would probably hate the modern republicans also. Slurping the Russians?

[u/factoid_ → u/MacPzesst]

They were the liberal party back then

[u/More-Conversation931 → u/MacPzesst]

Well at the time Republicans were liberals and Democrats conservatives.

[u/Not_Allowed_to_Die → u/WolfieSamurai]

All Liberals. Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Roosevelt, all Liberals.

[u/joesaysso → u/WolfieSamurai]

Both Lincoln and Roosevelt were Republicans while in office. The Whigs became the Republicans while Lincoln was in office. Roosevelt switched parties after he left office.

[u/bravesirrobin65 → u/joesaysso]

Northern whigs became Republicans before the election of 1860.

[u/joesaysso → u/bravesirrobin65]

Yes, good correction. Internet says 1854. I misremembered it for some reason.

[u/biffbobfred → u/joesaysso]

Lincoln ran on his second term on the Union party. He won, so technically he wasn’t named a Republican. Though he was a Republican pretty much - the Union party was Republican and some unionist Dems.

[u/DangerousDave303 → u/joesaysso]

I had a history professor in college point out that the Republican Party leadership was so concerned about what T.R. might do that they put him in the position where he would, theoretically, cause the least disruption. That position was the vice presidency.

[u/United-Big-1114 → u/DangerousDave303]

I'd say Leon Czolgosz kind of ruined that game plan for them.

[u/RedbarnRiver]

Cause there fricken stupid. Oh sweet irony.

[u/Numerous_Photograph9]

I will admit, I have never wondered this. Mostly because these people were more enlightened about the nature of democracy than anybody in the current divisive clusterF that is our current leadership.

[u/Not_Allowed_to_Die → u/Numerous_Photograph9]

Because they were all Liberals.

[u/Numerous_Photograph9 → u/Not_Allowed_to_Die]

I think progressive is a better descriptor. They weren't against conservative views, but they envisioned a government that was given power by the people regardless of how that fell on the partisan line. Roosevelt is probably more a liberal in the modern sense, but I believe he considered himself a progressive as well.

[u/Not_Allowed_to_Die → u/Numerous_Photograph9]

Who said progressive. They were ALL Liberals. Look it up.

[u/blazelet]

They get so fixated on the superficiality of what things are named.

The KKK supported democrats a century ago. They support republicans today.

[u/biffbobfred → u/blazelet]

More importantly the republicans support the kkk

[u/darthsploder77]

Washington did not have a political party, Jefferson was the founder of the Democratic-Republican party, (yes that is what it was called) and Roosevelt left the Republican party to run as member of the Progressive party. The only Republican on Mount Rushmore is Lincoln, he was the first and at the time it was a pro-union anti-slavery platform.

[u/hurtsdonut_ → u/darthsploder77]

Exactly they'll screech Lincoln was a Republican while flying their Confederate flags.

[u/Not_Allowed_to_Die]

Washington was a Liberal. Jefferson was a Liberal. Roosevelt was a Liberal. Not sure what MAGA's point here is other then they are right. Democrats weren't a thing for two of them, and Republicans during Roosevelt were Liberal. I just see a bunch of Liberals up there. Oh, and never forget that Lincoln was about as Liberal as it gets too... Poor MAGA. Always having nothing to run on.

[u/AndrewReked]

Ever wonder why there are no conservatives on Mt Rushmore? Yeah, me neither. 

[u/Alternative_Ad6424]

Didn't Washington literally warn against the forming of political parties because they would divide people?

[u/biffbobfred]

Two of the guys served before our modern political party existed. Both of the other two last ran on being neither Republican nor Democrat (Teddy being Bull Moose, Lincoln technically ran on the Union ticket)

“Isn’t it weird that there are neither republicans or Dems on mt Rushmore” could have some insight. But no it’s used for political points.

[u/Noobzoid123]

Wonder why one president has more felonies crimes and lawsuits stacked against them more than any other previous presidents combined?

Yes, because Trump is a corrupt criminal.

[u/MaxAdolphus]

*Conservatives. There are no conservatives on Mt. Rushmore.

[u/sluggz9]

It's fucking incredible how people can be this stupid while calling everyone else stupid. The Republican Party didn't even exist when Washington and Jefferson were president. Lincoln's Republican Party was founded on opposing the expansion of slavery, and Teddy Roosevelt was a progressive who fought against corporate monopolies and pushed for government regulation. What party does that resemble ?

[u/messiandmia]

There are however a couple of slave owning Republicans.

[u/Tripple_T → u/messiandmia]

There aren't?

[u/Main_Cauliflower5479]

Washington - Independent/Non-partisan. Jefferson - Democratic-Republican. TR - Republican back when they were liberal. Same with Lincoln.

[u/ThelIIusion0fSeIf]

Oh wow, this is what they're resorting too. Nothing about policy, integrity, comparing track records...just grasping at straws.

[u/IceWolfen]

If I'm not mistaken, didn't Washington push against the idea of a party system? He considered political parties to be one of the greatest threats to the American Republic. I don't disagree with him to be honest.

[u/Fit_Low592]

There was no two party system at the founding of the country. Washington actually voiced his disagreement with such a thing being established.

There’s no one from the Whig party either. What’s up with that?

[u/Negativety101]

Who wants to tell them what Lincoln ran as for his second term?

[u/Majestic-Citron7578]

Uh Jeffersons party was the precursor to the modern democratic party. Lincoln was obviously a republican but they had more in common with the democratic party of today than the democratic party then. Washington was non partisan and Roosevelt was an environmentalist in his time. A more factual statement would be to say no one on Rushmore would identify as a republican in its current form and its possible no president in history aside from Andrew Jackson would want to be associated with it.

[u/RussellAlden]

What? Democrats don’t want to be associated with the world’s largest graffiti?

[u/Not_Allowed_to_Die → u/Strict_Weather9063]

Because he was a Liberal like the other three up there.

[u/DayZCutr → u/Not_Allowed_to_Die]

Yeah. The meme mentioned party lines, not political affiliations. Mount Rushmore was commissioned by Teddy. And before the current political alliances existed. So it would make sense he would choose republicans who were liberal by the standards of their time.

Using the incorrect they’re is just icing on the cake

[u/Cheap-Wedding-9740]

[u/shastadakota]

Except Jefferson

[u/2A753]

I'm surprised out of all things he hasn't tried putting his face on Mount Rushmore 

[u/thunderpower1999 → u/2A753]

He did try but the court struck it down

[u/MurderGiraffe19 → u/2A753]

He has def tried

[u/The_Northern_Dandy → u/2A753]

He certainly talked about it.

Man these people really struggle hard with they’re vs there huh?

[u/zenmaster_B]

Hmm, it’s almost as if the Republican Party of old was progressive and flipped conservative over the course of decades— but don’t let that get in the way of a good fable to own dum, stoopid libs

[u/PoopCooper]

Ohhhh, that’s why most people only recognize two of them!

[u/Fox_of_Cintra]

I mean because republicans are obsessed with their reflection

[u/hopeful7321]

I'm all for blowing those faces off and returning the land we stole back to Native America! Their Black Hills is a sacred place and we violated their treaty and just took it.

[u/CyberPrime_]

[u/Sodano1099]

[u/cybernekonetics]

[u/weewooweewoo710]

Spelled there wrong

[u/Powerful-Chard-6055]

“There”

[u/HaveaFuntime297]

What makes this so funny to me is the fact they used the wrong 'They're'

[u/Oldmanprop]

Also, Washington was a Liberal Christian that leaned more towards being a Deist. Thomas Jefferson was a Unitarian Deist. Lincoln was not a member of any Christian church and leaned towards Deism. Teddy Roosevelt was a devout Christian.

That should get them going.

[u/No-Group7343]

Try explaining Nancy Pelosi would have been republican in the 1950s.....

[u/Elsupersabio]

the parties switched, republicans used to be the pro civil rights party, democrats the racist ignorant people party

[u/Far_Squash_4116]

[u/Cool_Lifeguard8847]

Stupid would be using "there" in the statement with the Emoji

[u/TeaReasonable7909]

They’re*

[u/bigsky52]

Talk about friggen stupid. This post proves the poster it’s. OMG. I’D BE SOOOO embarrassed.

[u/Tripple_T]

Thomas Jefferson isn't a Democrat unless Republicans want to focus on him being a slave owner.

[u/WGG-PC-TM]

'cause there fricken stupid' - so are you, apparently 😂

[u/prestonjay22]

Wonder why republican politicians do not act like them anymore but want to ask dumb questions line this
