(to the tune of "When Johnny comes marching home":
"The Tyrant wears a peasant's face, beware, beware!
He'll bastardize the human race, beware, beware!
He's filled the country with vice and graft,
'You're in!' How do you like the Draft?
and we'll stop
that
too
when
Little Mac takes the helm!"
A political song from McClellan's campaign against Lincoln in 1864.
It seems that our current President is the most hated, reviled, and divisive Republican President since-
"Ape" Lincoln.
Of, course, ol' Honest Abe wasn't afraid to bring the boot of government down on disloyal media types- he even shut down a couple of newspapers in Chicago and placed them under military control.
And of course, there were draft riots in NYC, resulting in bloodshed and destruction.
Last time, people-
Lincoln was a Republican.
Jeff Davis was a Democrat.
Thanks for sharing that song. The Democrats of the day were shockingly racist, particularly in the 1868 campaign where they ran on a platform of white rule.
