    You can’t even figure out that someone can do two different things in their life. Lincoln did a great thing by freeing the slaves. He also was a fascist by being a fascist. He suspended habeas corpus and mass jailed journalists. I don’t even know how to reword that to make it clearer.

      That’s because your pseudohistorical nonsense is bunk.

      Fascism isn’t just when an authority goes outside the bounds of the law. It’s a very specific reactionary ideology that harkens back to a mythical past and directs blame for imperial failures at minority populations within their control.

      Nothing about that describes anything about Abraham Lincoln’s ideology or behavior.

      In fact, it makes you look ridiculous and like you don’t know anything about reactionary ideology at all. It’s actually pretty funny if you think about it.

        Fascism has two bad parts to it. The totalitarianism and racism. Lincoln was being a totalitarian.

        It amazes me how you’re okay with totalitarianism so long as you’re oppressed equally.
