he wip’d it out,
Destroy’d his country, and his name remains
To th’ ensuing age abhorr’d.

fuck me for believing all the bullshit about American exceptionalism I guess

I won’t stop believing tho

I still believe that this is a place for the tired, the poor, the huddled masses yearning to be free

I still believe in the better angels of our nature

I still believe in the freedom from fear
