At the risk of being sought out by a crowd of irate US citizens, tarred,
feathered and hanged by the neck, could some US American please explain
this to me:
During the Civil War, those who fought slavery, defended civil rights
and stood for what I thought were liberal opinions were the Republicans,
whereas the Democrats were the conservatives.
Today, the conservatives and those who wave Confederate flags etc are
the Republicans, whereas the Democrats are the liberals.
Why this complete turnaround, and how did it happen? Does no-one ever
notice the inconsistency of it?
Sticking my neck out,
Jonas
