I'm not an American, so don't blame me for not knowing until now.
Already knew that. But the political parties switched in the last fifty years. In Abraham's time it was the Democratic Party who represented the crazies in the Deep South. The Southern Stratergy ensured that the Republicans took the place of the Democrats as representing racist people. If Abraham were alive today I think he'd see both parties (Republican and Democratic) as too crazy.
