No. All the things you mentioned in the above paragraphs were things that the GOP endorsed and supported back when it didn’t cost them anything to do so.

Fought slavery? Try continued attempts to disenfranchise voters of color over non existent threats of fraud.

Women’s vote? Try against equal pay for women.

This “outrage playbook” is an outgrowth of the win at all costs mentality of Newt Gingrich (himself a serial philanderer), and the southern strategy (read racism) of Nixon and Regan.

This is who your party is and has been. Trump isn’t an error, he’s the man at the other side of the equals sign.
