It's still amazing sometimes I still see ppl believe how 🇺🇸 will be soooo much better once Trump is dealt with.

As a reminder, Trump & every other MAGA politician is just a huge, flaring symptom of 🇺🇸 white supremacy.

After he is defeated, we have to stay vigilante and fight the root cause.

There's a reason we are in our 3rd Reconstruction. Why do we have to keep reconstructing?

Because too many 🇺🇸s get comfortable and it allows the 💩 side of it to rise back up.

Deal with the symptom but stay vigilante and fight the case of it.

"Sustained change" is the goal.

Indeed, Lincoln is part of the problem why we are where we are today.

The Wade-Davis bill passed in Congress that would've been more stringent on Confederates rejoining the union. But Lincoln didn't sign it bc he believed it wouldn't help bring the union together.

It never became law.

Gosh dang it! I forgot about the Wade Davis Bill that Lincoln just let sit out there.

Ain't it something? Smh.

Once someone learns more than we were taught in school about Lincoln, he don't look so much like the great liberator lol.
