And yet California—a solidly blue state—just voted by public referendum to uphold slavery. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_California_Proposition_6

Yeah, the problem here is calling them the party of slavery, when both parties are blatantly in favor of it.

They might want to look up how the parties flipped during the civil rights era.
