Not all Republicans are conservatives

It's surprising how many think Republican is synonymous with conservative. It isn't. Many Republicans are pro-big government, pro-choice, and pro-control. The Bushes were Republicans but not conservatives. Trump is a former Democrat who in many respects is a conservative in what he has accomplished, but not accepted by in-power Republicans deep in swamp-dwelling.

Sometimes the only difference in the 2 parties is that Democrats are more likely to stick together and be controlled by their party leaders. It's in their DNA. Democrats, however, are more likely to be hypocrites--witness Pelosi and Pals kneeling for a photographer while culturally appropriating African sacred stoles that symbolize wealth.

"These scarves were traditionally worn by the wealthy land-owners and dignitaries of the Ashanti (or Asante) tribes of what is now known as Ghana. They were made of silk, making them not only rare but also symbolic of wealth. More importantly, they were adorned by those who were involved in the pervasive slave trade the wealthy of the Ashanti tribe embraced."

That's the equivalent of wearing black face in my opinion, but the liberal media will never call them on it because they never research symbols and they are the party mascots. This performance was done while gnashing teeth that the President carried a Bible to inspect a fire bombed, historical church of Presidents and was photographed.

Guns, Gold and Slaves: "The Ashanti’s long-time ally, the Akwamu, were among the first ones to profit from the slave trade with the Europeans. Their captives were almost always prisoners of war, but they were not above to selling Akwamu men who offended the chief. They also kidnapped able-bodied men from other tribes and sold them in the coastal slave markets.

The English (who had displaced the Dutch as the leader in the slave trade) paid three ounces of gold for each male slave. It was a good sum, and many Africans saw this as a profitable venture.

The Ashanti soon joined in the slave trade by kidnapping traveling men or even those who were just working on their farms. They also went to war with neighboring peoples (especially in the Black Volta and savanna regions) not only to expand their territory but also to acquire more slaves which they then sold to Dutch and English traders. This practice had become so profitable that by 1720 the Slave Coast of Ghana had eclipsed the Gold Coast.

A vicious cycle soon emerged from this business. The Ashanti initially accepted gold as payment for slaves, but soon preferred flintlocks, muskets, and gunpowder as payment. With these weapons in hand, Ashanti warriors would then subdue another group of people and sell the captives of war to the European as slaves. By 1730, as much as 180,000 European-made firearms had been shipped to the Slave Coast and handed to the natives. " https://amazingbibletimeline.com/blog/ashanti-empire-trade-slaves-guns/
