The language in this tweet summarizes the leftist view of America and its history.
It is maddening that there are people who were lucky enough to be born as Americans who believe that the very foundation of the country is evil.
It’s also very telling that for many of the same people, no Republican is good enough. If Abraham Lincoln is evil in these people’s eyes, no Republican will ever measure up to their impossible standards.
