(1) Abe Lincoln didn’t ask for this
(2) For the most part it is DEMOCRATS (Abe was Republican) asking for this
I know. To the Democrats, the humiliation of “Reconstruction” was not enough to punish the South. Now it’s Deconstruction.
This is not about parties
The GOP are feckless
Obama doesn’t have to do anything
Lincoln was magnanimous to my defeated ancestry
The radical Republicans were damn sure not
Compare both parties from 1861 on and except for Reagan they both are turdwash
Their mascots could govern better
