Black Conservatives in the TEA Party Movement, and the Stupidity of the Race Card

[Weltall]

There has been an element which has attempted to portray Lincoln as holding classic Socialist views.

His depiction in Harry Turtledove's Timeline 191 series shows him having survived the Civil War and, later in life, breaking the Republicans, taking control of the then-infant Socialist Party, and turning it into a major national party. The party initially is extremely Marxist, but as time goes on, they mellow out and eventually end up as more of a progressive party than a model Socialist party.
