Wtf even is the Lincoln Project? Is that a bunch of leftists trying to co-opt Republican Abraham Lincoln? Right wing populists ought to co-opt JFK and create the Kennedy Project.
Honestly, it's the closest thing to Neocon Central at the moment. A bunch of NeverTrumpers and establishment republicans formed it a couple years back with their stated purpose was to help Biden win in 2020 and "ensure Trumpism is defeated"
It's pathetic that they think Abraham Lincoln would be for all of the bullshit military intervention that accomplished nothing except enriching a very very small handful of people and that Lincoln would be okay with selling out middle and low class Americans in favor of globalists.
JFK's most famous line:
is a reformulation of American fascist Lawrence Dennis' line in The Dynamics of War and Revolution:
And Lincoln suspended habeas corpus during the Civil War. The point isn't that these dudes were 100% pure and in-line with whatever your current personal political beliefs are. That shit is what leftist cancel culture is about. This is about one side attempting to rewrite history - e.g. "The Party Switch"
Lincoln was following the Constitution when he did. In grade school & high school it was taught that Lincoln was evil for doing this and were told he went against the constitution in doing so. It wasn't until law school that I learned that was total bullshit.
Article I, Section 9, Clause 2: “The Privileges of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it."
Doesn't make it wrong. I know we're all becoming more anti-statist as time goes on, but if you're a patriot or a nationalist, I think that line applies pretty well to their philosophy. As we're well aware, a socialist would probably agree with the inverse.
