I am a Bourbon Democrat for historical election series purposes.

I'm a bourbon Democrat in the sense that I'm still technically a registered Democrat (sigh), who's been known to drink a lot of bourbon.

Not me, if we're using historical terms this loosely, I'd be a Free Silver Democrat or a Populist.

I would've been one in the late 19th century.

I'd have been either this or a fairly standard pro-business, pro-commerce GOPer (save for more lenient views on trade) in the late 19th century.

Most Republicans were I think becoming the same by that time, or least many GOP leaning business interests were starting to say (yea, this has gone to far, we need foreign markets now not protection from competitors who would never beat us anyway). Any benefit protectionism had, was gone by 1890 if not 1881. Certainly, once we had become the largest economy.

I would have been a firm Republican from 1854 until FDR. Democrats are traitors afterall. Tongue
