Lincoln is a benevolent tyrant. Like, there's no denying he was a good guy and I do think he was one of the best, but that comes with him being a wartime president who used a massively expanded government to wage a justified war.

I just responded to someone else this same thing, but I can't blame Lincoln for the continuation of those expanded powers. That's Congress being historically fucking lazy to do their job or roll back powers granted during times of crisis. Only time they actually do anything is if their job/position is directly threatened.
