I did Nazi this coming.
Just fucking close the museum if you’re going to comply with this shit. He has no authority to do this, so why are people always just bending over to get fucked by his tiny dick?
Yup if they capitulate then nothing on display can be trusted. Makes the place moot and useless. Shut it down will at least give it a chance to come back after this shit ends.
It’s the American Way.
We need a comic depiction of Trump’s interpretation of history. That’d be…fascinating.
History started when the British dive bombed Pearl Harbor and illegally landed their jets at JFK International Airport in 1776, obviously.
The US air force fought back with their invisible fighter jets.
Trump Tracts
Where are all those “don’t tread on me” types…
Don’t tread on me, I want to tread on you
Remember The Time Masheen from idiocracy? That’s what the Smithsonian is going to be soon.
We are so ridiculous.
Ah yes, let the pedo interpret the country’s history
Could you imagine the outrage if Obama or Biden even suggested this?
Where is the liberal outrage?
Where is all people outrage. Republicans should protest too. Bending history is fascist practice.
To be honest I’m pretty fuckin mad right now but my salary has 5 figures so you won’t hear about it.
If your income is 9+ figures, the media comes to you to find out what you think about it.
Or you have your own social media platform from which your opinion can be amplified to millions.
Im positive theres already posts about this on other social media sites by people with millions more followers than the person you replied to will ever have and im also just as positive it wont move the needle as tomorrow they’ll all be mad at the new terrible thing he does.
I heard you.
But my salary is also only 5 figures, so it didn’t matter.
Where? Outside your door, in the streets, getting tear gassed by the National Guard.
No one’s outside my door and any protest has been fairly small so far.
We have seen a massive, historic amount of protests since Trump’s election?
They haven’t had a hundredth of the coverage that Jan 6 did so these protests are failing.
We bring our own media coverage, this is the 2020s not the 1980s, mainstream news outlets have collapsed in viewership and our protests are growing fast even though they are already big.
If mainstream news doesn’t want to cover it, they are just signing their own death sentence of irrelevance from the perspective of their core intended audience.
You must have spooked them, check the bushes.
I keep my bushes trimmed so my house looks bigger.

First thing, change the sign up front to “Ripley’s Believe It or Not” so people will know they’re going to see a mix of facts with some crazy make-believe bullshit.
What. The. Fuck.
You’re gonna listen to a syphilitic rapist pedophile’s interpretation of history???
they need funding, so.
If what they produce violates their core mission of faithfully documenting history, then why do they need the funding? Their very purpose is moot at that point if they become what their entire existence was made to fight.
i agree. that is their logic, however. they need money so they will bend the knee. these institutions are compromised.
Better false loyalty than true indoctrination. Say the right words and ingratiate yourself to the right people and you can do more than you otherwise would have.
Say the right words and ingratiate yourself to the right people and you can
do more than you otherwise would have.ruin all of your credibility for the rest of your existence.If they bend the knee here, then when have they done it before and not told you about it? When will they do it again in the future?
I would rather see Smithsonian close their doors to the public for years rather than so fundamentally betray the core values that they were created to uphold.
I think you do have a point for 99% of other businesses, and while I don’t like it, I get it. I’m never buying Apple products again but I understand why Tim Cook does what he did. But the Smithsonian Institution is supposed to be keepers of truth. If these political moves are required for them to stay alive and keep money coming in, then they should rather have elected to die.
They wouldn’t die, someone else would step up. Then we’d have a museum filled with confederate reliquaries.
Also, theyve outlived most every president to exist alongside them. Theyll certainly outlive this one
To do what? At that point they’re nothing but a liability to historical record and intellectual discovery.
i do agree.
They already capitulated.
In November, when Harris was too icky.
She wasn’t too icky, it’s very possible that they rigged the election by tampering with the voting machines. Suspicious that they pushed them so hard and limited mail-in ballots. They also did a whole lot of voter suppression in other ways.
Also remember that Clinton won the popular vote last time.

It’s wrong to blame the voters. The people deserved a good faith primary election with the chance to vote for a non genocidal maniac who isn’t owned by Israel, and Dems refused to allow it. DNC leadership squarely to blame for this mess.
Joe deserves a large share of that blame as well.
I don’t think he does.
Even if the choice had been Senile old man who sleeps for 4 years vs. Trump
The choice was EASILY Senile old man.
If you chose not to vote, you chose a vote for Trump.
The senile old man who indicated he’d be a 1-term president then refused to give up the reins when he should have, which stopped voters from actually being able to choose their leading candidate and disenfranchised a lot of people. That was a choice HE made.
When he doddered his confused old ass out onto the debate stage on June 27, 2024 he handed the country back to trump.
He’s a piece of shit who deserves to be forgotten.
Biden refused to run a campaign and administration that provided any meaningful progressive vision and then he dropped out only after it was too late.
Of course he does.
It’s wrong to blame the voters.
Fuck that. 10 million less than voted for Biden voted for Harris. Are these people so fucking stupid they forgot who Trump is?
The “primary” thing is a pretty pathetic excuse for helping a convicted felon child rapist win the presidency. Take to a moment to FUCKING THINK about what you’re saying. That no primary, for the vice president, the person we choose to take Office in the event of an incapacitated president, means a convicted felon child rapist is the better choice. That’s your position. We voted for her and Biden in 2020, that’s how that works. Bernie wasn’t gonna win this time, he was gonna lose like he did the last two times. And guess who Bernie told you to vote for? Kamala Fucking Harris.
Israel? Really? Because now Netanyahu is going to kick out all the Palestinians and Trump will do everything to help. Are you pretending to have the high ground here? No, you made things worse for them. You used their lives to make a political point. You do NOT get to pretend to care about Palestinians.
I’m so tired fucking these excuses. It’s not DNC’s fault. Biden won handily in 2020. Trump did not rig the election. This time it IS the voters’ fault. It’s completely inexcusable. Democrats proved just how petty, stupid and short-sighted they can truly be and subjected us to what could be the fucking end of the country. We could’ve had a sane president and Trump in prison, but they gave us this. Enough excuses, take responsibility for your decision.
Guy, don’t bother. Tankies are as stupid as MAGA. But MAGA at least votes.
America simply prefers a tyrant to a woman
Was going to say fascist to a female for the alliteration but eh people get mad when you say “female”
Thanks for ruining the word “female” incels
“5 gallon milking machines for all incels” should be an Executive Order
That is because you are too cowardly to understand a necessary solidarity between US citizens and Palestinians being slaughtered by primarily US weapons. There is no future for anyone if we cannot drive the wedge of empathy into the machinery of mass death, the Palestinian Genocide is simply a preview of our fates (how many US police departments have trained with the IDF? The answer is a lot) if we do not demand it stop with everything we have.
Shame on you for taking the easy road out and reacting impulsively when the truth is too uncomfortable for you to think about critically.
People will treat you the way you treat others, so let me ask you how do you think people will treat you for being toxic towards people speaking out against a genocide we are complicit in and could stop?
Cool, you win the moral victory while this country is literally torn to pieces.
Congrats on winning!
Great thanks, what do you win for condescending the humanity of Palestinians at a level that bankrupts your intellectual capacity to empathize with people being slaughtered at a mass indiscriminate scale by your countries weapons, money and diplomatic cover?
What you win is the same future for all of us, fool.
“Interpretation” of history …
The 14 Characteristics of Fascism
The 14 characteristics are:
- Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.
- Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of “need.” The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.
- Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.
- Supremacy of the Military Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.
- Rampant Sexism The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-gay legislation and national policy.
- Controlled Mass Media Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.
- Obsession with National Security Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.
- Religion and Government are Intertwined Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government’s policies or actions.
- Corporate Power is Protected The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.
- Labor Power is Suppressed Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed .
- Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts.
- Obsession with Crime and Punishment Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.
- Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.
- Fraudulent Elections Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.
Umberto Eco’s Ur-Fascism is also a good primer

They can’t resist what they can’t read!
well at least labor power hasnt been totally suppressed and elections have so far been relatively legitimate…

Common dreams should be willing to say “goverment censors” are being brought in to erase history.
Doge was at its heart a censorship program.
