The creepy thing is if you kept "This is America..." on the top and "...Keep it free" on the bottom plus you removed the other text and you used the following the image - the republicans would love it.

My version for this day and age. Thank you.

Here’s how this kind of thing would look today.

Not accurate regarding the Jim Crow South, but an aspirational goal for all of us.

Narrator: They didn’t…

Today’s standards are the results of looking back at where and what we were. So now could reflect the lessons of the past.

The good old days - for white men.

Welp.

Now, if we were really interested in making America great, wouldn't we push for greater access to the ballot, providing balanced news coverage, allowing for rebuttals on political advertisements, competitive congressional districts without any gerrymandering, and publicly financed campaigns?

"where the privileges of democracy belong to all people equally"* 😆
*your privilege mileage may vary depending on race, ethnicity and what deity (or lack thereof) you believe in.

Yeah, but no coincidence all the people shown are white. African American in southern states were systematically excluded from voting until the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Which the Supreme Court gutted a few years ago, so guess what’s happening again
