Political Parties of the United States (New World)

The United States holds numerous Political Parties, though the two largest are the Republican and the Democrat party. The Democrat party, however, due to its ties to eugenics, socialism, French and Russian fascists, and racism, has been on the decline, with a corresponding rise in several regional parties, with none yet large enough to take the place of the Democrat Party.

Democrat Party
Since the election of 1896, the Democrat party has positioned itself to the economic left, and socially since 1904. It is the second largest party with 92 million registered members.

Republican Party
Since 1888, the Republican party has moved to the economic right, with the economics of von Mises, and a rejection of the increasing socialism of the Democrat party. It is socially more conservative, having moved so since the 1950s, since the adoption of the Civil Rights legislation of 1953 under President Eisenhower and Vice President Claude Mirabeau. There are currently 121 million Republican voters.

The Republican party began as an anti-slavery party in 1854, when it won the presidency in 1860 just before the Civil War. It moved for civil rights for the newly freed slaves through the latter 1800s, and succeeded in passing those laws in most northern and southwestern states, though a federal civil rights law was passed in 1953 under pressure from Republican voters. The party moved economically right after the Democrat party took to the cause of tariffs to protect their union supporters in the 1930s, and the passage of a number of New Deal measures.
