Abe is overcome by the heat generated by the politics of a nation more divided than it was in his day.

The careers of politicians may wax and wane…but art is forever (snark)

When the statute is finally melted, does it turn into a ball of wax? (Snark)

Who knew Lincoln had major meltdowns? (Snark)

The artist: “Like our melting Lincoln, the ideas of politicians can take many shapes and forms. The melting wax shows his inner transformation.” (Snark)

That moment we you realize all the advances you made in human equality and freedom are being completely dismantled by the idiots in office now.
