So did Lincoln. Multiple times.
But he never quit.
If you read Abe Lincoln's list of failures it makes anyone wonder why he didn't give up with all the losses in so many business ventures, parents dying while he was young, deaths of close loved ones, losses in multiple elections over and over again. And when he finally was elected potus and endured the bloody war where American families killed each other some deranged person shot him in the back.
Maybe many on here can learn from that. Doing the right thing with a right heart after so many set backs can still get you slandered and killed.
Sounds like the union forum here. Brotherhood? Step-brotherhood maybe.
