The movie Lincoln (2012) got caught up in a vortex of Obama Discourse but it’s a good exploration of this point — the Union had the upper hand militarily but the war was brutal and there was pressure for compromise that Lincoln resisted. He was pragmatic but fixed on a goal. — PolitiTweet.org

@SpecialPuppy1 @xenocryptsite Nobody ever puts “death penalty for rapists” or “drug test welfare recipients” into these things and I think it’s a big tell. — PolitiTweet.org
