It is not just in US it is everywhere. Conservatives dramatically slow down progress and very resistant to any changes, plus biggest hypocrites (religious conservatives) for the most part.
The Confederacy was a bunch of democrats who did not accept the results of the election of 1860. The modern day democrats do not accept the results of the 2016 election. You are one in the same.
Sit down, what I’m about to tell you is going to blow your mind... Abraham Lincoln was a big government liberal.
The argument that it was Dems who owned the slaves in today's world is so idiotic. Like others said, Dems or Repub it is just a label. It is conservatives against liberals, it is stagnation against progress. Open minded/liberal people are the one who improve the world to make it a better place.
Sit down, I am going to blow your mind, Hussein Obama, Joe Biteme, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck U Schumer, and the whole lot of them, are not liberals. You don't know what the word means.
