One could use AI and deepfake tech to make Lincoln speak. Man, what a time to be living in the 2020s.

A family tree website made Lincoln talk using AI (Video duration: ~1 min)
Ugh, hawking wares wasn’t the message I’d long to hear from the railsplitter.

Lincoln was not kidding when he said he was ugly.

What message would you like to hear? Just tell AI what you want it to do.
Nah, I do not wish to help the machines “learn” seeking to entertain myself.

Agreed. Selling technology and services is definitely not something I want to hear from Honest Abe. :)

Nixon was a Quaker, yes that’s megatons of irony.
I think Quakers are considered Christian, but there are some that are non-theists. They're relatively small now.

Unitarians used to be considered Christians until they merged into the Unitarian Universalist Church.

Thomas Jefferson was a deist, and Abraham Lincoln, was apparently, an atheist who read the Bible, but his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, was Presbyterian.

My favorite civil war (era) movie The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, (heck for the score alone!)
It's very long, I've never seen it, but recognize the music immediately.

The irony comes in from the fact that many Quakers were pacifists.

I did not know about that. Some of the states were divided between north and south. It looks like the battle in New Mexico was for the whole southwest area.

The question is the country as divided today for this election as it was back when we had a civil war. If Trump is elected are they going to be fighting in the streets again? Fighting each other but mostly fighting the government.

I was amazed when the supreme court banned abortion they would have been rioting in a lot of cities if Trump was president at the time. With Biden there was not any rioting at all.
Don't know. The Republicans regard a Democratic administration as an existential threat. The Democrats regard a Republican administration as a costly mess that will have to be cleaned up after, but not necessarily an existential threat.

Haha, I remember those commercials, where furniture and mattresses got discounts on Presidents' Day. No idea why though, but it was always odd.
