"We are the party of Lincoln!" announce the Republicans. "It's the Democrats that have always been the racists." While Abraham Lincoln was, in fact, the first Republican president, how much does the modern GOP resemble the ideals and priorities of the party that was born in the 1850s? What does the Democratic platform look like in comparison to that is the "Solid South" and the pro-slavery politicians that pushed the country into the Civil War? In this episode, we take a look at how the parties have realigned ideologically over the last century and a half.
Hot topics for the week include, the MAHA Report, the exit of Elon Musk from his role as DOGE, an update on the ongoing tariff turmoil, and a look at the "Deepfake" scandal currently swirling in the White House.
