    Amazing that civility fetishists are using Lincoln --https://twitter.com/seldo/status/1202328305321443328 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    Laurie Voss @seldo
    For the record, when Lincoln said "a house divided cannot stand" he did not mean "we need to compromise with the slave owners", he meant "we are going to crush them into the dirt" and then he did. pic.twitter.com/RE4uLWynj5

        I actually interviewed Eric Foner about this very point the last time it came up. He did a good job in debunking it:https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/post/the-real-lesson-to-be-drawn-from-lincoln/2012/11/26/fd4d2674-37e5-11e2-8a97-363b0f9a0ab3_blog.html …

        The sad part is that anyone who paid even the remotest bit of attention (like, just having been awake) in HS history or Civics should be able to respond.

        Military action to restore civility seems like an unexplored lane.

        Still complicit in genocide, of course. Maybe that's what they mean by bipartisan cooperation.

        They used to have a billboard that said "perseverance" with a picture of Lincoln captioned "failed, failed, failed, and then!" He was of course an extremely successful attorney and party leader for decades, who pivoted a narrow senate loss (in the state leg.) into the presidency

        That’s because what they mean by civility is “kowtow to us or we’ll declare civil war on you like we did against Lincoln”
