What do you think of this old piece of propaganda ?

Description: Abraham Lincoln’s supporters are portrayed as radicals and eccentrics of various stripes. The satire is loosely based on an anti-Fremont cartoon from the previous presidential race, “The Great Republican Reform Party” (no. 1856-22), also issued by Nathaniel Currier.
Here Lincoln, sitting astride a wooden rail borne by Horace Greeley, leads his followers toward a lunatic asylum. Greeley instructs him, “Hold on to me Abe, and we’ll go in here by the unanimous consent of the people.” Lincoln exhorts his followers, “Now my friends I’m almost in, and the millennium is going to begin, so ask what you will and it shall be granted.”
At the head of the group is a bearded man, arm-in-arm with a woman and a Mormon. He claims to “represent the free love element, and expect to have free license to carry out its principles.” The woman looks at Lincoln, saying “Oh! what a beautiful man he is, I feel a passionate attraction’ every time I see his lovely face.” The Mormon adds, “I want religion abolished and the book of Mormon made the standard of morality.”
They are followed by a dandified free black, who announces, “De white man hab no rights dat cullud pussons am bound to spect’ I want dat understood.” Behind him an aging suffragette says, “I want womans rights enforced, and man reduced in subjection to her authority.” Next a ragged socialist or Fourierist, holding a liquor bottle, asserts, “I want everybody to have a share of everybody elses property.”
At the end of the group are three hooligans, one demanding “a hotel established by government, where people that aint inclined to work, can board free of expense, and be found in rum and tobacco.” The second, a thief, wants “the right to examine every other citizen’s pockets without interruption by Policemen.” The last, an Irish street tough, says, “I want all the stations houses burned up, and the M.P.s killed, so that the bohoys can run with the machine and have a muss when they please.”

Did you catch the “Southern” part in the phrase “Southern Democrat”?
It has always been the South that’s the problem. Once upon a time they called themselves Democrats. Now they call themselves Republicans. Whichever side is NOT the South is always the more ethical, educated and open-minded.
EDIT:
P.S. All good professors are liberal. Pursuit of education is, by definition, a liberal activity. It’s about engaging a wide variety of information and progressing.
What would a conservative do in education, “conserve” the status quo of information and do no more research? Plllllease.
See, this is typical trickery. You have already implied the answer you are looking for, so why even ask the question.
You answered it already for yourself.
This reminds me of some of my former liberal professors.
And there is no sugarcoating it. DEMOCRATS voted against the civil rights act by way larger margins than Reps. The only member of our government to serve in the KKK(Robert Byrd) was what party?
Southern Democrats are from the South. Western Democrats are from the West. Northern Democrats are from the North. And Eastern Democrats (you guessed it) are from the East.
today’s “southern” democrats must have invaded from south of the border because the democrats of yesterday are now enlightened republicans….lmao
