In case you’re genuinely curious and not trolling, I’ll explain. Parties in the US are not fixed around a particular ideology or set of stances, but have changed frequently throughout history and often take completely opposite positions from their past iterations. Many historians like to divide US political history into eras called party systems to indicate when parties are roughly cohesive and when they go through major changes, and during the civil war era we were in the Third Party System. During the third party system the Democratic party’s base was made up primarily of white southerners (though there were northern supporters as well) and after the civil war they fought against Reconstruction in order to uphold white supremacy (the only issue that united Democratic voters in the north and south at the time).
Though there isn’t consensus among historians yet, many consider us to be in the Seventh Party System now, so as you can imagine a lot has changed since then. I’ll let you do your own reading on that topic.
Thanks, it makes it more clear…
Your initial take is not completely wrong though, democrats are a right wing party from a leftist perspective.
Republicans are openly racist, they believe in hierarchy based on race. Democrats of today aren’t so racist, but both parties are classist. They believe in hierarchy of class, if you’re rich enough you deserve healthcare and housing and good education and clean drinking water, and and and. If you’re poor, they’ll use you as a talking point, but they’ll do whatever it takes to make it as difficult as possible to move up between classes.
