We're dealing here with the same historical illiteracy that 'believes' because Abe Lincoln was a Republican it means that today's Republicans are politically and philosophically compatible with a man dead and gone for 154 fucking years,
Or that the massive defection, in the 1960's, of white southern Dems to the then new Jim Crow Party, the GO fucking P, has no significance or maybe never happened.
Historical illiteracy, fairy dust economics, science illiteracy/climate change denial and an appalling weakness for bat-shit conspiracy theories comprise the 'stupidity portfolio' we see posted here daily.
