Well-off people prefer the status quo (ante) candidate who promises a return to "normalcy" while those who suffer prefer the great disruptor who promises to shake things up - I am shocked by this pattern, shocked! :rofl: ;)


I will say that I think a disruptor is good when necessary. There's no doubt that the neoliberal policies over the past 30 years have been fantastic for society overall but there are quite a few who are left behind. We probably need a slight tweak to these policies so that the transition period is longer and/or we micro-target those affected so they can adapt easier.

Lincoln suspended habeas corpus and issued the emancipation proclamation, which took a great deal of courage. can only shudder to think what pundits and the never-Trumpers/never-Lincolners of the time would have done then.

oh that’s right, they killed Lincoln

He used it as an excuse to create the first income tax too.

Lincoln was willing to give you your fugitive slave back so long as you bowed down to the union.

The South was unreasonable and were unable to recognize a good deal. This is why Jews moved to Florida.
