Always remember: James Buchanan, who was theoretically against slavery, but
- Thought undoing it was worse because “if you emancipate your slaves, they will become masters,”
- Let the Southern states secede without opposition (even Andrew Jackson did better than that!),
- Who made it easy for the Confederate to take Federal arms, property, and forts with them and thus prolonged the Civil War,
Buchanan was a MODERATE in his day.
He’d fit in well with the so-called moderates today. When an FDR centrist Democrat like Bernie Sanders is as far left as we go, where does that mean the right has gone…?

I’ve only just noticed that tweeting one of these strips is now a multi-step process that requires an ounce of thought. Hey, what a coincidence!

The head of the republican party is a devout racist.

They have been among us all along but Twitter has provided them with megaphones.

It’s a lot easier to spread hate than understanding and compassion.
