What Trump did at the WH was the worst example of racist revisionist history since Woodrow Wilson played Birth Of A Nation at the WH. It may be worse b/c of the reach of media today & b/c he was able to get some Af-Am men & women to be props for his extreme policies & lies.
And to tell that story on property built by enslaved hands, on land stolen from indigenous people, & in a country that once denied poor women & men the right to vote—my God!
To declare that anyone who criticizes America’s past is not worthy of leading it into its future, at a moment when millions of people are challenging white supremacy, & then throw your name up in the sky over a city built by a free issue Black man who fought for freedom ...
It is revisionist history that cannot be allowed. That distortion of history by itself should be enough to show every American that Trump and his administration are not fit for office.
Octavia Butler from her book Parable of the Talents:
Choose your leaders
with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward
is to be controlled
by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool
is to be led
by the opportunists
who control the fool.

To be led by a thief
is to offer up
your most precious treasures
to be stolen.
To be led by a liar
is to ask
to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant
is to sell yourself
and those you love
into slavery.
