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).
