@ LeopoldBloom. Correct. I think at the time it was referred to as the Democratic-Republican Party. And in addition to what you wrote, it also championed liberalism.
I asked the question to make the point that the labels we use now, and the venom with which we throw them and ugly derivations of them around as the election, have changed the meaning of the words that our Founders used.
When this election is done, we are going to need each other to provide goods and services to one another, teach our kids, care for our elderly relatives, repair our streets, build our data centers and support and comfort each other, regardless of Party affiliation.
It would be nice if we tried to remember this along the way and treat each other with decency and humanity.
