Republicans and Civil Wars

I can, at last, begin to see why Trump reminds himself, assiduously, of Republican Party CoFounder Lincoln. He believes, as did Lincoln, it is our time to redress winnings v. White male supremacy over slavery, and women, and children, and Earth Herself, and xenophobic racist losings of the U.S. Civil War. Except, one critical difference, While Trump fuels patriotic investment where Red States once were hate and fear exhausted, Lincoln sided Republicans and all his other multi-party Cabinet, with defining patriotism by where Blue States are climates of health and freedom now growing, if the Red States would just join with us in moving on toward our multiculturally polypathic cooperative rewards, the spoils of UnCivil Wars long gone. It seems likely Lincoln's Republican remains are turning black and bluer in his green-grassed grave.
