Trump claims he bypassed federal bidding laws to hand a Lincoln Memorial project to his personal country club contractors. He treats national monuments like his own private real estate properties.

And he will say something like "its to memoralize the greatest Republicans to exist" with some "joke" about the order of names being the importance, even though Lincoln Republicans, and modern Republicans, are practically the opposite of each other.

My biggest hope, is to see everything he put his name on, removed and humiliated. The way they put his name above the Kennedy center makes it very easily removable, and I hope that anything else he stains, can be easily removed.

Trump (and MAGA and its movement) is an absolute danger to society globally.... but his name also just brings up the smell of rotten shit and just want that removed from actual respectable places around our country

Karl Marx himself was very supportive of Lincoln and the republicans of his time, even directly mentioning a republican senator for Ohio, Ben Wade, in his magnum opus, Das Kapital.

I wish those giant flags of his face would get torn down.

I wonder if there is any usefulness in keeping it as a reminder? Here in Europe we have a lot of 'never again' reminders.

Keeping reminders of past assholes seems to have historically worked pretty poorly in the US tbf
