Are you calling them Quakers as a derogatory slur or are they actually Quakers/Religious Society of Friends people.

A "slur"? No. But I was referring to the overly strict, hair-splitting kind of religious extremism that adheres to the letter of the law, not the spirit/intent.

So yes, you did. Quakers (used to be) quite progressive.

Okay...? Democrats used to support slavery.

They flipped their beliefs with Republicans. That's a unlikely occurrence.
