Pay up, Democrats

Powerline has the best way to get money for reparations - make Democrats pay.
Let’s stick with the principle of strict liability for a moment.  The chief defender of slavery and its aftermath, the regime of Jim Crow segregation, was the Democratic Party.  Democrats in large numbers opposed the 13^th Amendment, the 14^th Amendment, then for decades disenfranchised blacks in defiance of the intent of the 15^th Amendment, and contrived numerous ways to take the property of newly freed blacks and/or prevent them from acquiring property in the South.  For decades Democrats blocked civil rights legislation, and federal anti-lynch laws that Republicans proposed in the early 20^th century.
