to all who celebrate...

description from Huntington library:

"A lithograph printed on heavy paper. Satirical "death certificate" issued for the Southern Confederacy. Mourning border, each line in different typeface, with: Died, Near the South-Side Rail Road, / on Sunday, April 9th, 1865, / The Southern Confederacy, / Aged Four Years, / Conceived in Sin, Born in iniquity, Nurtured by Tyranny, Died of / a Chronic Attack of Punch. / Abraham Lincoln, Attending Physician. / U.S. Grant, Undertaker. / Jeff Davis, Chief Mourner. Below in smaller print an epitaph that ends with: And this one line shall grace your grave-- / Your death gave freedom to the slave."

No matter who you think you are, Republicans will hurt you and those you love

The best chance we have is to make sure people know that Trump is the one hurting them - poisoning their water, cutting cancer research, closing their hospitals, stealing their social security, closing their post office, raising their taxes, lowering their wages, making everything more expensive.
