is anyone else a progressive Republican?

What I mean by a progressive Republican—or, you could even call it a reform Republican—is someone modeled after figures like Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, or even FDR. Although FDR was a Democrat, he drew on many classical Republican principles. Essentially, this type of Republican is strongly opposed to slavery—or, in a modern context, human trafficking—firmly against corruption in general, and also supports traditional Republican issues such as gun rights and the Constitution.

There are no progressive Republicans. If you vote Republican you're voting against the Constitution. You're voting against stopping human trafficking and you're voting for the modern day version of slavery. You can try and deflect by going back 100 years but it means nothing in reality.

@Ynotisay question for you who helped freed the slaves? and also who is the Republican who wanted more Healthcare? (cough cough Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt) I'm not talking about conservatives I'm talking about Republicans in a classical historical way

@1930sfan MAGA has made all of that moot, and they want to rewrite the entire history of U.S. chattel slavery. The voters who are still progressive but not Democrats probably identify as independents now.
