'Is this another stupid woke thing because it READS like another stupid woke thing': Ford's Theatre attacks Lincoln ... literally

Sam J. | 11:52 AM on September 19, 2021

Do you ever feel we, as a website, spend too much time mocking and ridiculing stupid accounts on Twitter who have it coming?

Yeah, we don’t either.

Not entirely sure what Ford’s Theatre thought would happen when they went after Abe Lincoln but here we are.

Our only guess is they WEREN’T really thinking when they sent this tweet going after Lincoln.

Take a look.

Do you ever feel we, as a nation, put Abraham Lincoln “on a pedestal”?

What do you think might be a more useful, more complex, or more realistic way to think about or memorialize the 16th president?

Really Ford’s Theatre? REALLY?!

I mean, you're 100% right. There's no hook to gender expression or LatinX issues.

This gotta come down.

We’re shocked it hasn’t come down yet.

“Ford Theatre attacks Lincoln” is the Twitter content I came here for

Right?

Nothing but the best (or worst) from Twitter these days.

I mean… you already put him on a balcony. Leave the guy alone.

Who thought this would be a good tweet?

Probably someone with a degree in gender studies.

More books have been written about Lincoln, examining him from every conceivable angle, than any other president.

So go on; tell us what might be a more useful, more complex, or more realistic way to think about him.
