I'm a big fan of motivational posters
My favorite one has Abraham Lincoln on it
The tagline is for success
And it shows a timeline of his career
And it lists all the things he failed at over the years
Then the last thing it says is
''Abraham Lincoln
The 16th President of the United States''
It's supposed to be a triumph of the spirit
Like
''See?
You can do it!''
But I'm like
Yeah
Then what happened?
He gets shot in the head in the back of the head
That's how this story really ends
He doesn't get re-elected
We can put it that way
He did not seek another term
Let's not try to put a positive spin on getting assassinated
I mean
Jesus
Poor Abe Lincoln gets shot by John Wilkes Booth
Who was a shitty actor from the South
Yeah that's exactly what I need
To finally achieve success
Only to be gunned down by Harry Conick Junior
