Oh, thanks for the history lesson. What party do you think Rep. Brooks would be in if he was still alive today? Hmm, well he was a fierce advocate of "states' rights." Which party matches that? Oh, he was a representative from South Carolina. Well, there's currently 6 Republicans and 1 Democrat, and the Democrat is black and represents a black district while Brooks was a slavery advocate, so I think that one speaks for itself. He was extremely popular in the South but reviled in the North, this one's a head scratcher. White men in South Carolina usually vote roughly 80-20 Republican...hmm...all signs are pointing in one direction here! Kind of like how Roy Moore was a Democrat in the 80s but now is your beloved pedophile hero, lol.
He would be a Democrat of course. Just as he was at the time. We have recent precedent for this as well. The losing party of the 2016 election attempted to steal the election via Hamilton elector machinations simply because they were unhappy that their candidate lost.
Republicans cannot do that because they lack the backing from the political media. Therefore, beating up election winners and attempted thievery of the elections can only be the trademark of one of the two parties.
