One thing to remember is, the Republican Party and the Democrats have done a switch-a-roo on policy. Today's Republican Party is the antithesis of the Lincoln years and today's Democrats are nothing like Harry Truman.

One of the factors that we need to remember when comparing 1944-5 and 1946 and the Labor Market is that in the latter, the US was totally geared towards war, and in 1946, there was not total war.

Yes, the Republican Party has become the antithesis of democracy and if Trump were to win a second term as President, it would be a grave danger for the USA.
