ERROR: "Republicanism Means the Republican Party"

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

The claim that republicanism, the founding ideal, refers to the Republican Party is false: the ideal predates every American party.

Show

The framers wrote republican state constitutions in the 1770s; the Republican Party formed in 1854.

Watch for

The shared word invites the slide; the ideal belongs to no party.
