When someone else in the comments pointed this out, 100% of those people--without exception--"clarified" that they meant "founding fathers" (without considering that Lincoln was born 20 years after the Constitution was ratified).

It blows my mind that anyone could get legitimately upset about something as ultimately trivial as this. White American men have nothing to care about.

Being from the armpit of America, I can confirm that most boneheaded, mental trash comments I see are from middle-aged white people who live in suburbs or rural areas.
