“Love Trumps Hate” is one of the more popular slogans at the “Not My President” marches in New York City. One protester turned the phrase around a bit, right. Meanwhile, Garry Rissman, who also goes by Abraham Lincoln III, held a historically relevant message from Honest Abe himself about last week’s election, though the current wave of protesters might think otherwise. Basically, President Lincoln was saying we can always change leaders in four years at the ballot box, so don’t revolt against the current one. Rissman was on his way last Sunday to the Eldridge St. Synagogue’s Generation to Generation Festival on the Lower East Side. The event celebrated the 130th anniversary of the laying of the synagogue’s cornerstone.
