Election
A lot of people in this country went out and voted on election day. All that effort they put into what they did is (always) at risk of being turned into bullshit (despite claims about the whole thing being a democratic process), which is why some people don't vote, they have a good reason not to.
What's the point of an election if the people who hold power don't have any regard for what everybody else in the country wants to happen? That's a king, not a president. Why call it anything else? Why deceive people who went out and voted? The founding fathers were slaveowners, not one of the rest of us. Not every Confederate statue that was removed was a slaveowners, the enlisted members of the Confederate military were just regular poor or middle class guys who went into the military to fight someone else's war, they weren't fighting to support slavery, the South was their home. Removing a statue because it was a Confederate is as ignorant as removing a statue because it's a statue of a black guy. Civil rights leaders weren't perfect people either, they were as human as anybody else (and as inhuman as anybody else).

Heritage
Whether either group likes it or not, both Confederate statues and statues of civil rights leaders are part of the country's heritage. There is no replacing one with the other, and history is never erased, even if there's no evidence of it.
The country's heritage is fucked up, it's not a healthy, clean heritage that's best for everybody. Really it's always been bad for people, it's always been toxic.

Totalitarian
A government that tries to control everything people do in their life (how they eat their dinner/holiday dinner, where they go, what they wear, and what they do).
