Ridiculous, Steve. If he were alive today he’d be completely ineffective as a politician given he’d be 215.

Very insightful comments, Steve. I did read your book and I remember this passage, but I am so glad you have raised it to my consciousness again.

It is so much easier, and really more effective, to deal with people who have different opinions than you by not demonizing them. I think it is so easy for many to see the MAGA base as evil instead of simply folks who feel left out of a system they think is treating them unfairly. While I profoundly disagree with that, I do see where they’re coming from.

Thanks for the insight. Please continue to raise these concepts to conscious awareness. How lucky we were to have had a leader like Lincoln, and for you to know him so well to be able to share his approach to similar problems w us today.
