MAGA had its beginnings in the Tea Party in 2010. The Republican
Party was split between the “Establishment” RINOs and the Tea Party
Republicans. The 2016 Trump campaign was rebranded as MAGA to allow Republicans
to close ranks. Republicans united to support Trump to close the split.
I received the post below
from the Cherokee County GA Tea Party Leader who has rebranded as a MAGA
Republican group to recruit volunteers to secure the 2024 Trump Election. The
RNC was able to recruit over 200,000 volunteers nation-wide to make the 2024
Election secure.
Republican Party History by Conrad Quagliaroli, 12-10-24
Most Republicans do not know the history of the Republican
Party. And let me tell you it is a glorious history! I took the following notes
from a short 5 minute video from Prager U. *Professor Carol Swain, who is African-American*
had this to say on that video;
The Republican Party was founded in 1854 and it’s 1856 platform
was pro Black, and pro women, in that it stated that it planned to abolish both
slavery and polygamy.
In the 1870’s Republicans passed the FIRST civil rights acts,
the;
a. The 13th amendment which freed the slaves
b. The 14th amendment which gave Blacks their citizenship
c. The 15th amendment which gave Blacks the right to vote
Most people don’t realize there were two civil rights
movements*, one in
the 1870’s and one, 90 years later in the 1960’s. And it was the
Democrat
Party that fought fiercely against both of them, with
Filibusters and other
measures. Conversely, it was the Republican Party that
overwhelming
supported both.
In 1870 the first Black congressman was elected to congress as a
Republican
Also in 1870 the first Black senator was elected to congress as
a Republican
*Until 1935, every Black congressman was a Republican
*The first female member of congress was a Republican
*The first Hispanic governor was a Republican
*The first Hispanic Senator was a Republican
*The first Asian Senator was a Republican
*In 1920 after about 50 years of Democrat opposition, the
Republicans who
had large majorities in both the House and Senate, pressured
Democrat
president Woodrow Wilson into giving women the right to vote.
Only 59% of House Democrats and 41% of Senate Democrats voted to
give women
the vote, compared to 91% of House Republicans and 82% of Senate
Republicans. Yes you read that right, in 1920, the vote was 91%
of
Republicans to 59% of Democrats in the House and 82% of
Republicans to 41%
of Democrats in the Senate.
The war on women was definitely led by the Democrats beginning
with the
early days of the Suffrage Movement. It was the Republicans who
led the
fight and gave women the right to vote, not the Democrats!
*In 1936 Democrat president FDR snubbed the great
African-American Olympian
Jesse Owens, who won four gold medals in the 1936 Olympics, by
NOT inviting
him to the White House, ONLY inviting his white team members.
*In the 1950’s Republican president Eisenhower sent the National
Guard to
Arkansas to escort Black children to school because Democrat governor
Faubus would not allow them in the white schools.
*The 1960 Civil Rights Act was Filibustered by 18 Democrat
senators while
EVERY Republican senator supported it.
*The 1964 Civil Rights Act was also filibustered by the
Democrats and only
passed because of strong Republican support.
*The main resistance to the civil rights act of 1964 were
Democrats, but
Progressives would rewrite textbooks creating the impression
Republicans
were the ones in opposition.
*The votes on the civil rights laws in the 1960s speak for
themselves.
a. The Civil Rights Act of 1964
House vote passed
with *63%* of Democrats vs* 80%* of Republicans -17 points *higher*
Senate vote; *69%* of
Democrats vs *82%* of Republicans-13 points higher*
b. The Voting Rights Act of 1965
House vote; 78%
Democrats vs 84% Republican, 6 points higher
Senate vote; 73% of
Democrats vs 94% of Republicans, 21 points higher
Republicans voted for the 1960’s civil rights laws in higher
percentages than Democrats. Had Republicans voted for the civil rights laws in
the 1960s in the same percentages as Democrats, the 1960s civil rights laws would
*NOT* have passed.
The fact is, Republicans were more responsible for the *1960s
civil rights laws than Democrats, JUST as they were for the *FIRST civil rights
laws in the 1870s.
Professor Swain makes a great point on the video when she states
that Republicans have done little for Blacks since the 1960’s because they have
treated them as EQUAL to every other group and therefore believed they were as
COMPETENT as other Americans to determine their lives. And therefore did not
need government telling them how to live.
Coincidentally, that is EXACTLY what Frederick Douglass
suggested in a 1865 speech to the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society, when he
answered a question; What must be done for the former slaves? “Do nothing with us! Let the Negro
alone. If you will only untie his hands
and give him a chance, I think he will live” (and this is when
African-Americans had just been freed and were much less prepared than they are
today.)
The history of the Democrats proves they always have, and still
do, regard Blacks as too incompetent to fend for themselves.
The very fact that Democrats think it racist of Republicans to
require a photo ID for EVERYONE to vote, is pretty obvious proof they think
Blacks are not smart enough to get a photo ID…how racist is that!
Professor Carol Swain knows what she is talking about, she is a
former professor of political science at Vanderbilt University.
In *Dinesh D’Souza’s book “Hillary’s America*, the secret
history of the Democratic Party” he makes two very good points;
*#1. Democrat Party crimes were blamed on all “Americans**” *The
Democrats,
the media and our education system, from K-12 through college,
have shifted
the sins/crimes of the Democrat Party from the Democrats where
if belongs
to “Americans” as a whole. When in fact, it was the Democrats
who fought
for slavery, it was the Democrats who created the Ku Klux Klan,
segregation, Jim Crow laws and did the lynching, NOT Americans!
Half the
country, the Republican half, fought against those things from
their
beginning in 1854, through the 1960’s, till today, fighting for
vouchers
for African-American children stuck in failing inner city
schools.
#2. The Big Switch is a Big Lie! Racism didn’t cause the South
to turn
from a Democratic stronghold to a Republican one. Reaganomics
did!
Again, the Democrats, the media and our education system claim a
big switch
occurred in the Southern States when all the racist Southerners
switched
from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party because of the
civil
rights legislation in the 1960s, and Nixon’s Southern Strategy
in 1968,
that sought out the votes of the racists in the South.
The fact is, that is a complete lie as demonstrated by simple
logic and the
dates when the Republicans were first elected as Governors and
Senators
since 1964 in the Southern States. Plus the dates the Republican
Party
became the majority party in the Senate and House in each of the
Southern
States.
The truth is Racism had nothing to do with the South becoming
Republican. Most of the
South did not turn Republican till after Reagan was elected. As
you can
see, the average year the first Republican since 1964 was
elected Governoror Senator was;
Governor-1987 average (and 4 were not elected till after 1990).
U.S. Senator-1979 average (and 4 were not elected till after
1990).
And the average year the Republicans became the majority since
1964 in the state House & Senate was;
Senate-2005 average
House-2006 average
Think about it…look at these dates. They are long after the
racism, segregation and fire hoses of the 60s were over and done with!
Governor*-1987- 23 years after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was
passed,
U.S. Senator*-1979- 15 years after the Civil Rights Act of 1964
was passed,
State Senate majority -2005- 41 years after the Civil Rights Act
of 1964 was passed,
State House majority*-2006- 42 years after the Civil Rights Act
of 1964 was passed,
About Nixon’s Southern Strategy in 1968
*First*; Nixon’s Southern Strategy had nothing to do with going
after the racist vote. In the 1968 election George Wallace from Alabama was
running and he had the racist vote all wrapped up. It would have been senseless
for Nixon to even try to compete with Wallace for the racist vote in the South.
*Second;* It would have been really stupid to try for the racist
vote given the fact that he would have lost two votes in the rest of the
country for every racist vote he got in the South.
I highly recommend D’Sousa’s book. About 65% of it is devoted to
the despicable history of the Democratic Party, from stealing land from the Indians
(President Andrew Jackson…a Democrat, was responsible for the Trail of Tears,
NOT AMERICANS) right up till it’s history today, forcing minority children to
suffer in failing inner city schools, thereby dooming them to fail. How
despicable is that?
Comments
I used History is to understand how slavery continued when
African Kings learned that they could profit from selling Prisoners of War into
slavery in the 1500s. Demand for cheap labor was high because agriculture was
booming in the Americas. These Kings copied the Roman system for controlling
dissenters. The Greeks and Persians preferred to win them over.
