I realize there’s always a small cabal of suicide-loving libertarians that surface from time to time on FR, especially on the “Lincoln was a dictator” meme.

But had we become two countries as a result of the North-South disputes, instead of serving into the 1930s and 1940s as a single, mighty nation — there’s at least a strong possibility we’d be speaking German today.

so THANK YOU presidents Washington and Lincoln for being the unique heroes you were.

THANK YOU United States, and all of the stateds, north, south, east, west, midwest, for saving Europe AND THE USA from the Nazis, and the Pacific Ocean and Asia AND THE USA from Japan.

THANK YOU President Reagan for ending totalitarian rule in Eastern Europe and instituting tax cuts that are largely still in place today, and for restoring the quaint notion that it’s cool to love America.

THANK YOU President Trump for knowing what was wrong in the United States and doing all you could to remedy our ailments.

THANK YOU, GOD, for giving us the heroic presidents we needed when we needed them — including Lincoln.

EDIT: “surviving” instead of serving

If the US had split there would have been no WWI to set the stage for Hitler’s accession to power and probably no WWII. Learn your history
