Trump-endorsed Republican, Harriet Hageman, wins Wyoming primary nomination against incumbent Rep. Liz Cheney who has chosen to compare herself to Abraham Lincoln in her concession speech.
"The great and original champion of our party, Abraham Lincoln, was defeated in elections for the Senate and the House before he won the most important election of all. Lincoln ultimately prevailed. He saved our union, and he defined our obligation as Americans for all of history. Speaking at Gettysburg of the great task remaining before us, Lincoln said that 'we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people by the people and for the people shall not perish from this earth'. As we meet here tonight that remains our greatest and most important task most of world history is a story of violent conflict of servitude and suffering". -Liz Cheney
Abraham Lincoln, the great centralizer, is a secular saint for the same reason that the Roman Senate deified Octavian Augustus. He was the first emperor of Imperial America.
The War Between the States not only broke the "economic back" of the agricultural south in favor of the industrialized north but it forever destroyed what had been a free and voluntary republican confederation in the name of a Federal Union imposed by military force.

This is why the would-be despots of today revere him. He marks the end of the Republic.
As for Miss Piggy, her hint at a presidential run is either driven by unrestrained self-deception or borderline sadism. That this little nepotistic Lincolnite would actually be considering the possibility of seeking even further humiliation in 2024 is emblematic of Liz Cheney's political Svengali's total indifference towards turning her into the sacrificial goat for the establishment swamp in their effort to subvert Donald Trump's popularity within the GOP.
