The abject stupidity of the triggered left knows no bounds.
According to Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), the National Archives in Washington, DC has added a disclaimer to their website saying that some of our historical documents, including the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution may contain “harmful content.”
Boebert tweeted:
“The National Archives have now put a disclaimer on their website that our historical documents may include Harmful Content. They even slapped this warning on the Constitution. We tried to tell you the Left wanted to get rid of it!”
Lest you think we are making this up, the following is taken directly from the web page, in part:
“The Catalog and web pages contain some content that may be harmful or difficult to view. NARA’s records span the history of the United States, and it is our charge to preserve and make available these historical records.
As a result, some of the materials presented here may reflect outdated, biased, offensive and possibly violent views and opinions. In addition, some of the materials may relate to violent or graphic events and are preserved for their historical significance.
The National Archives is committed to working with staff, communities, and peer institutions to assess and update descriptions that are harmful to establish standards and policies to prevent future harmful language in staff-generated descriptions.” [emphasis added]
Under the FAQ section on the page, it warns the following may be found:
“Some items may:
reflect racist, sexist, ableist, misogynistic/misogynoir, and xenophobic opinions and attitudes; be discriminatory towards or exclude diverse views on sexuality, gender, religion and more; include graphic content of historical events such as violent death, medical procedures, crime, wars/terrorist acts, natural disasters and more; demonstrate bias and exclusion in institutional collecting and digitization policies.
The web page continues to describe all manner of explanations for the inclusion of certain terms and says that language used in some of the archived documents may “reflect biases and prejudices.” It continues that some subject headings may use terms that are “outdated, offensive, or insensitive.”

*Sob* I just saw the Constitution (calls 911)
This country is way past help. It’s all down hill and into hell from here.
Anyone believing that is NOT qualified mentally or morally to be an American. Probably the same collection of waste holes that tried to do things to the Enola Gay.
Kick their putrid leftist *ss outta here.
Or wait until CW-II and things will take care of themselves.
Might as well add a warning to all freedoms.
They should be branding the founding fathers as radicals and monsters.
Buncha uppity negroes?
This is not that big a deal.
Link ti leadership. Let’s discover who these crap eaters are.

“Ableist,” Truly the insane have taken over.
Crazy left
Hey libs, Delta is ready when you are.
Welcome to Amerika.
And by beclowning itself so, the National Archives now counts as three fifths of a real archive.
Traitors everywhere.
Thanks for posting that link which goes into detail on how the trigger warning works. It’s a general warning that shows up regardless of what you search at the site.
Doesn’t make this trigger warning necessary or correct but at least your link explains it in more depth.
The author is underestimating the Left. They’re not stupid, they’re Evil.
After all. how can they continue to be our founding documents if they’re ‘offensive?’
They must be treated like the British back in the day

Secession
It's time for us to jettison those who reject our national values because there's no changing them. Time to secede.
We should extend the invitation to secede on a county by county basis.
While we're at it, since we'd be forming a new country, we should extend the invitation to counties in Canada and Mexico as well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
