Thank you Mr. Smith, for this beautiful, sobering, hopeful essay. All is not lost if we, those of us who care about people above profits, make sure we fight for the ideals of democratic principles.
Let's not forget that the land that Mt. Rushmore was carved into was land sacred to the Lakota people. I think it is always important to acknowledge that we descrated their land when putting the faces of those four white men into the mountain. When I visited South Dakota, and stayed with a friend on the Pine Ridge reservation, I decided i would not visit Rushmore bcs of what it represented to traditional Lakota people.
MAGA is chipping away at the bedrock of American values, and basic decency, piece by piece.
