I thought you were looking for examples of dictators who rigged elections.

You thought no such thing. What you thought is "how can I deflect this accurate and historically supportable charge against Lincoln by invoking supposed wrong doing by someone else. "

Again, when a man can be locked up and accused of treason for simply writing a song praising a former general, the man locking him up can also easily win elections by intimidating any potential challengers or their supporters.

And I don't care what Davis did. It isn't a contest between which is the more evil. As I said, wrong things done by Davis do not justify wrong things done by Lincoln.

Each man must be judged on his own deeds independently of other men.

You raised the subject, I just jumped in.

I don't know. I'd love to take the person who wrote "Baby Shark" and lock them up and throw away the key.

And I don't care what Davis did.

Of course you don't. Interest in Davis would be...inconvenient.
