      Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Bill Kristol

      This reads like a convert to the Democrats in 1860 arguing that Republicans were not pure of heart towards black Americans, so there was no need for people who cared about slavery to support Lincoln.https://twitter.com/BillKristol/status/1433994612046192642 …

      "The pro-choice movement makes many arguments which I find unconvincing. But one thing they have always said is that pro-lifers really just want to control women’s bodies. And part of me thinks that this is probably right." https://thetriad.thebulwark.com/p/why-i-opted-out-of-the-abortion-wars?r=1emko&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email&utm_source=twitter …

      That, unfortunately, is what happens when you rationalize your principles to your tribal resentments rather than the other way around.

      Frederick Douglass had some thoughts on that sort of argumenthttps://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1148321541702205441?t=0s1-W4kDVNOeraTzDtFbKg&s=19 …

      Like Lincoln, Frederick Douglass was practical as well as principled. In 1856, he explained why he supported John C. Fremont & the Republicans even though they were not campaigning on the full abolition of slavery, rather than cast a third-party vote for anti-slavery purists. pic.twitter.com/ByzL5qXwV6

      All practical politics involves compromising some of one's principles, morals, preferences, & loyalties. The question is whether you're selling out the small things for the big things, or the other way around.

      Edmund Burke also has some things to say on the kind of compromises that can & can't be justified in partisan politicshttps://www.nationalreview.com/corner/edmund-burke-on-principled-partisanship/ …

          Conservatives: "Should we get better ideas, or ensure voting restrictions? 🤔🤔🤔. We should definitely cry about partisanship, that's a no-brainer."

          Let’s be real. Bill Kristol opted out of the abortion wars because he’s not a Republican and prefers wars that involves the military and the military industrial complex. 🤷🏻‍♂️

          Edmund Burke is my relative. Also my Great Great Grandad was a top Confederate Spy. Story goes he escaped Union troops by hiding under a Southern Belle’s hoop skirt
