      Unless the entire goal is to make the population too fucking ignorant to understand what he’s taking from them.

      Seems successful to me.

          If this were reddit, we’d have people replying to tell you that that never happened, and that the Republicans are, “The Party of Lincoln”™

            In my state’s sub, you’d have the (Dixie)*crats joining them.

              Yeah

              When you take the parties away and just think about who did and didn’t support the Civil Rights Act of 1957 (or 1964, Voting Rights Act, etc., it becomes clear who’s on which side.

              I was alive when Strom Thurmond died. I remember it. That dude was a hardcore GOP Republican until the day he died. The openly racist man who filibustered against the Civil Rights Act of 1957, and literally changed his party affiliation based on where each one stood on whether or not black people should be seen as people.

              We all know what party he chose, and it doesn’t sound like Lincoln’s values to me.

                Tbf Lincoln opined that if continuing slavery were to spare the Union, he would be fully onboard.

          Supposedly the Bible that he had purported to have turned to during his cancer fight was found in its original packaging, untouched.

    Everything he does backfires terribly. He’s running Florida further into the ground. Frankly, except for the innocents harmed (students and minorities and the like), let it burn. The people of Florida elected a monster. They get what they deserve.
