Why Is the G.O.P. Fighting to Preserve Monuments to Traitors in the Capitol?

Nevertheless, I'm curious...Shouldn't Lincoln have consulted some of the former slaves to find out how they felt about going back to Africa, before even entertaining such a solution as a possibility?

Kate,

If you wanted a Louis-Vuitton purse, would you go down to the Louis-Vuitton store on Union Square (yes, the Union that President Lincoln was fighting to save) in San Francisco and pick out the one that you wanted before you even considered what might be the total cost of the purse, including sales tax?

You may already own a $459 million yacht, and cost is no object. If so, I would recommend the DAUPHINE MM model, that comes with a gold chain (no slavery pun intended) and a leather strap. The purse costs $3,250 without sales tax and right now there is complimentary delivery available here in San Francisco.

Just more satire.

By the way, I am one of those "liberals/leftists/democrats" to whom you refer.

I am for Bernie Sanders to be President of the United States. And, I am one of those "liberals/leftists/democrats" who believe that Speaker of the House Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, (my elected House representative who did not receive my vote), orchestrated the defeat of Bernie Sanders in both the 2016 and 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries. I believe that this democracy needs his leadership on a wide-range of issues, to include but not limited to: democratic principles of government, climate change, universal healthcare, and income inequality to name just a few (just four issues, if you want me to be precise -- more satire).
