+14 We consider now the Democrats as the good guys and the Republicans as the bad guys. Not knowing that the Republican "Led by Abraham Lincoln" actually are the ones who forced the 13th Amendment (Abolition of Slavery) and the Democrats were against it. American politics sure is funny, amirite?

first of all Democrats and Republicans are seen as good and bad depending on individuals some view Republicans as the good guys and some view Democrats as the good guys I don't do that because I won't determine how "good" someone is based on which they associate with each individual member does not agree with everything there are contentious issues within parties second the mentality of the parties today and the mentality of the parties centuries go are two different cans of worms here are some comments that explain: http://amirite.com/762260-the-democrat-partys-slogan-in-1868-this-is-a-white-mans-country-let-white-men/1925416

So full of stupid. The political alignments of the two parties have changed drastically since the time of Abraham Lincoln (although there's still a lesser-evil thing being played out).
