I think Trump’s arrival in Washington is actually quite similar to Lincoln’s in 1861.

God spare us the rest.

Excellent!

Lincoln, in the 4th debate I believe, said: “”I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in anyway the social and political equality of the white and black races - that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race. I say upon this occasion I do not perceive that because the white man is to have the superior position the negro should be denied everything.”

How could Trump be worse than Lincoln?

I want to type out the text to your wonderful image:

The last time this many Democrats boycotted a Republican inauguration, was March 1861, a month before the Democrats launched Civil War I.

Will be an interesting next month.

One of my daughters told me the women’s march was “the biggest inauguration protest in history!”

I asked her, “What about Bull Run?”
