He doesn't understand Republican Party was once the progressive liberal party. Apparently a lot of you don't either. I'm a liberal and would have been considered a Republican in 1860.
For a recent example, look at the South during civil rights movement.

It's not quite so cut and dry as reversing the liberal/conservative paradigm, but yes, one could say the the nascent Republican party of the 1850s was the progressive party, although its coziness and love of big business might disgust your modern day equivalent.

You're conflating a few things in your liberal definition. Your point being in 1860 it would be considered liberal to be anti-slavery. Generally true, but the term now includes a lot of "non-liberal" thinking, e.g., living off the state, victimhood, et.al.
