    This Country cannot be WOKE, because WOKE IS BROKE. We have the ‘HOTTEST’ Country in the World, and we want people to talk about it, including in our Museums

    This man is the president of the United States.

      No, that’s too stupid, even for him, to be a direct quo . . . No he actually said it

      The climate crisis is making it ‘HOTTER’ but it’s still not the hottest.

      It might be time to admit that the Union is over. 200+ years is not a bad stretch for a nation. But when the very nature of its culture and structure allows this kind of “representation” to lead it, we need to all admit that it’s not just a wee lil’ fracture we need to fix, the whole thing is shattered and laying in a pool of blood.

      I for one am going to be seeking citizenship in the Cascadian States, hopefully we will have enough money and naval bases to defend against the Bezos Collective’s drones and the Muksavites should they ever set aside their feud long enough to mount a proper offensive.

      Yup. Pretty bleak reminder that our culture is rotten to the core.

      What kills me about this is, Sunny just had an episode where they constantly said, “Go woke, go broke”. We live in a sitcom.

    “Nothing about Success, nothing about Brightness, nothing about the Future,” claimed Trump. "

    It’s a museum, you human sweatpant boner. It’s literally all about the past.

      I wouldn’t doubt it simply due to my inherent biases and opinions, but apparently it’s a pretty murky happening to confidently designate it as “fact.”

      https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2019/mar/28/facebook-posts/heres-whats-known-about-fred-trumps-arrest-after-k/

      Apparently there were a lot of bystanders and citizens arrested for “not dispersing” during a parade staged by the Klan, and Fred Trump was amongst those detained, but we don’t know what side he was on, as it turned into a bit of a free-for-all. (We’re of course, free to make educated guesses, based on evident values held by that family.)

      This however, of course, does not change the fact that regardless of that event, his son is an always-lying, child-raping, diaper-shitting, Hitler-adoring, woman-abusing, worker-exploiting, barely-human, war-mongering, fascist waste of homo-sapien DNA who won’t own up to the existence of thorough records of those activities.

    Complains about a history museum not focusing enough on the future… It’s whole purpose is to tell the story of the past leading up till now. If he wants to know about African Americans in space go to the space and rocket museum or NASA or hell I’m sure the Smithsonian even has exhibits. But what does he expect to see.

    Near 100 years African Americans couldn’t vote, more than 100 years Women couldn’t vote, and decades of voter suppression of both groups after that. Less than 250 years to work with, oppression is going to show up in chunks of it. Especially when 69 million Women could face troubles voting again if the Save Act goes into effect, and already passed Congress. That’s about 20% of our country… Or to put it in terms of comparison, all of the UK, more than the entire population of France or ~210 of the 230 countries in the world.

      African Americans and Women’s aren’t allowed in space. That would be a DEI hire

    There are only three things you need to know about Trump: (1) he always fails, (2) he always lies and (3) he always chickens out.

      Only if you haven’t been paying attention and have listened to all the centrists and liberals try to downplay conservatism in America for the last several decades.

      I fucking swear we’re going to be in line for the gas chambers and there’s going to be some smug liberal or centrist behind us going “Look, if Harris had won, we would probably be in the same situation right now, besides it’s probably not going to be as bad as you fearmongers are making it out to be!”

    Ah look, the continuation of proving that we lost the Civil War 160 years later. This is one of the major tenets of the Lost Cause myth of the confederacy.

    I’m sure I’m going to get banned somewhere by constantly saying this because some conservative snowflake is going to cry I said nasty things about traitors from a century ago, but one of the top 10 worst things the US did for the long run was not publicly hang every confederate officer and instead let them go around and let them cry that they were being bullied for states rights enslaving people.

        Yeah first time I heard that term I was like “well yeah after consistently fighting for emancipation, civil rights, and combating systemic racism for generations I’d be tired too…” then I learned how and who was using it and I was like woah wtf is this nonsense ?!

      I am being told by people every day that I’m being “overreactive” and that I’m “fearmongering” for saying that they’re going to go after gay marriage next, then after that, interracial marriage. (They will attack it under the guise of “protecting the US from terrorists seeking citizenship through marriage,” and millions will buy it.)

      After that, if they are allowed to continue this reign of brain-damage, they will repeal civil rights and start segregation all over again. This sets things up nicely for a return to slave trades using the vast commercial prison complex already profiting from collecting black slaves.
