In a newly unearthed video, North Carolina’s GOP nominee for governor says America was better then because Republicans "fought for real social change."
I was on the fence about your take until I watched the video and he explicitly said the Republicans would give women the right to vote all over again because the Republicans were once the party that made womens suffrage happen, and also claimed they were the ones to send Jim Crow.
So fine, he awkwardly gave people a stupid quote in a way a more clever person would have made his point. His point then seems to become that the republican party is no longer that party, which seems pretty bad too. But you are right, he was trying to say he’d go back just so he could be a part of making it all better again.
