Then I am not sure the imagery is not appropriate. Consider had it been explaining Why we are moving Nathan Forest's grave. Now linking the modern democrat party to the reconstruction era democrat's is not applicable IMO as we only share a name and not much else. So I object to the linking of modern day democrats, but not to the idea that those were horrible people who committed such atrocities and that is what the image seems to convey.

Like a runaway train, the GOP seems intent on destroying as much of society as they can. The only way I know to stop them, is to vote their leaders out of office.
