They want Tubman on a bill? Give her one of her own. Don’t take Jackson’s.
I’m in favor of replacing the slave-abusing Jackson who founded the Democrat party with Tubman, a radical, gun-toting, deeply religious, Republican insurgent.
Tubman was a republican.
Abe was a republican.
The republican party founded in Ripon by abolinisits.
Anything else about the hearts and minds of republicans is pure rhetoric. Most conservatives today just want the media to stop stiring the race pot and start covering the socail stratification based on wealth, highlight liberals reintroduction of classism and why progresssive city centers have been in death throws for the past half centry.
Nice! Thanks for posting.

Subliminally maintaining the fiction that conservatives are incredibly racist...
I am certainly aware of Rt 15 in PA. I WENT TO Gettysburg College.
But my mother was born in Virginia and we traveled to her home place off Rt 11, the valley pike, the Le Jackson highway. It is western Virginia but NOT West Virginia. Just more CNN fake news.
Salena Zito gets a lot right.
I am on the right edge of Conservative. Could care less if they put Mickey Mouse on a $20 Bill as I am only worried what the purchasing power of that $20 is and how diluted it will become under Senile Joe.
Fly over the states or use an interstate and you are likely to never know who the people who live along U.S. 11 are and what they care about. That's okay. People really don't like feeling like a specimen, but if you are going to write about them, you should probably have a conversation or two."
As wretchedly insipid as any WaPo 'diner story', Zito thinks she's being clever punching down as the #MSM does to to the hicks in the stix but she's really just another journolist, ignoring that these are not places of decay but rather efficient small towns that permit people to live rurally.
Pandering to what they perceive to be their base. Put black folks on the money and everything will be just fine.
Tubman was an Angela Davis type of coward who was all in when it came to ‘conspiring’ to raid the Harpers Ferry armory but who was nowhere to be found when the murderous John Brown and his cronies were taken under fire by Colonel Lee and a few Marines. If the present day race hustling commies want to desecrate our currency with the image of a black terrorist - put Nat Turner’s image on an alternate sawbuck. He wasn’t a coward, not by any stretch. Put a nice portrait of the cowardly terrorist Tubman in the national gallery or some such.
I don’t care about the $20 bill. I do care about fair elections, free speech, and the constitution. Pick the right hills to die on, fighting against putting a black woman’s picture on money, which will 100% degenerate into a brawl over wither the right is a bunch of racist woman haters, isn’t the one.
***...replace the image of Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill with Harriet Tubman. ***
And what have they got against Jackson? He hated the British, saved New Orleans from invasion, after the war of 1812 was over. News traveled slow in those days.
Drove out the South Eastern slave owning tribes to Oklahoma, in violation of the SCOTUS ruling, where the tribes later had to put down slave rebellions.

Nothing against Harriet Tubman, but did she really do enough to merit being on our money? I’m sure if you look there are others who did the same on the Underground Railroad. Why no mention of them?
Salena Zito is a wonderful chronicler of non-coastal, non-celebrity Americans. I always love her articles.
