A King? Non, Merci!

I was reading through the Declaration of Independence this morning, when I came across these beefs with the royal boss back in 1776:

“He has endeavored to prevent the population of these states; for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands.

“He has obstructed the administration of justice, by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers.

“He has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

“He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.”

This whole “trigger the liberals” thing by having all the “long live the king” stuff with Trump’s image is starting to come off as a “clear and present danger” thing. A time to quote Harriet Tubman thing:

“I had reasoned this out in my mind, there was one of two things I had a right to, liberty or death; if I could not have one, I would have the other.” – Harriet Tubman

Tubman also said if she could have convinced other slaves that they were slaves, she would have freed thousands more. I look at the minds of enslaved Trump supporters and find myself in sad agreement with good Harriet Tubman.

Black History Month in effect, y’all.
