Abe Lincoln was a railroad lawyer and front man for Northern
Manufacturing that used tariffs to enrich themselves. He was
a great politician, and great American, but his political
platitudes were often a cover story for the rich.

The GOP ideology is now broadly exposed, logically inconsistent
with itself, and no longer being received very well.
This situation will not go away quickly, not until the public
forgets it, which will take about 40 years.
