Iโm sure these dumbasses donโt know this but in the early days of the US, the Republican party was much more Liberal than the Democrats. Things changed post-civil war when rich northern business,en started to enter politics and adopt more business friendly policies and less government interference. When the Civil War ended, Republicans where focused on giving the freed slaves more rights. But when the businessmen came into power and realized the black population was small, they abandoned those policies. When the Great Depression, FDR began the shift in the Democratic parties philosophies to support lower income workers. Then the Democrats addressed the Segregation issues in the 1950s and 1960s. The political ideologies of the parties flipped over those pre-WWII and post-WWII decades.

Case in point, Teddy Roosevelt, the last of the 4 members on Mount Rushmore was actually considered very progressive. In fact, the Founding Fathers were very Liberal in their beliefs.
America's founding fathers were classical liberals, this means they favored liberty, private property, capitalism, freedom of religion, and a limited Republican style of government.

So, when these morons try to recite or reference any โRepubilcanโ from the 1800s or early 1900s they are really supporting Liberal ideologies (โLibsโ or โLibtardsโ as they like to say) those people had. The โRepublican Partyโ didnโt even officially form until 1858. They are just too stupid to realize it.
