Donald has decided that he and some White House staffers know better what history the American people ought to see. Russ Vought (a Project 2025 contributor), along with J.D. Vance and others have been directed to remove everything from the Smithsonian Institution's museums that they think don't "align with" American exceptionalism. Let that sink in; the White House is now deciding what parts of history are important for people to see. I'm sure there are things that could be updated and improved, but directing them to remove everything that doesn't comport with Donald's political agenda is truly fascist territory.

Sounds like a hint of revisionism right there. Activists from both sides of the aisle have a tendency of trying to rewrite history. But this is maybe the first time in a very long time that the most vocal activists are the president and his administration. Interesting times for sure.

The problem really, as I see it, is they are trying to rewrite history to fit their political narrative and agenda. This is authoritarian 101. Just ask the Nazis.

It’s strange to watch how much that party has changed over the last few years. Old Abe must be rotating in his grave.

History has always been written by those in power at the time.
Nothing new here.
Will change again when the Dems are back in power.

The Democrats have systematically destroyed the idea of American greatness. Through schools, the media, and yes, musuems.

In the past 10 years in museums they have incorporated everything from satanic LGBTQ..... DEI, The 1619 Lies, and other truly Anti American ideas as if they were truth,
God Bless the Trump Administration for tearing this trash down!

Here is a fairly balanced discussion from 3 months ago with opposite political ideologies.

Just looking ahead to the Millennial Age when our Lord Jesus reigns....

Do you think the Democrats, RINOS, Communists, and globalists will try to do to King Jesus what they are doing to Pres. Trump right now?

I know that the one's currently living will die during God's wrath, but their offspring will survive. According to the Bible, a great number of them will side with Satan at the end of the Millennial age. So I wonder if they'll discover the previous age's history (in other words, this one) and copy their tactics.

I think for most of the Millennium, King Jesus will rule with an iron scepter, meaning He won't let them even try to lie or corrupt others by promoting wokeness, LGBTQ+, global warming, etc. etc. Plus, the only people working in King Jesus' government are the Christian immortal redeemed so they won't be able to come up or pass any ungodly laws.

And I think these people will hate King Jesus for that because sin would still exist in the Millennial age to show everyone that even without the presence of Satan, we are still capable of sinning.

What do you envision for Jesus' reign? Will the ungodly ones even dare to say false thing about Him like they do Pres. Trump right?

IMO They will walk the strait line until Satan is released after the 1000 years.

That remains to be seen. I never said I knew exactly what changes he wanted. If you had read my posts closely, what I said is that Donald is taking it upon himself to alter history based on his political and ideological agenda. He said as much in his letter to the Smithsonian, which stated he wants revisions which will align with "American exceptionalism." That's not how history is done; you don't skew facts to make them fit your agenda. You collect the facts, then try to understand them. American exceptionalism is based on the fact that we have faced extraordinary challenges and have overcome them. You don't redact everything you think has a woke or liberal agenda behind it. That's not exceptionalism, it's paranoia.

If you want some idea of what he has planned you should look up The 1776 Report which Donald had commissioned shortly before his first term ended. That's probably the blueprint. It's written by a bunch of maga sycophants. Sorry I can't satisfy your curiosity more definitively. If you run across anything in your research, please post it.

Well, I do know that the Confederate states and their real history is being erased. The majority think that it was all about slavery. But the fight was over state rights. Slavery was just one factor of the fight.....And American exceptionalism took care of the gross injustice of slavery in the process.

Yes, American exceptionalism took care of it, but not because of the Confederacy; it took those northern "liberals" to do that. The Confederacy enshrined slavery in its Constitution; it was no small matter.

"(3) The Confederate States may acquire new territory; and Congress shall have power to legislate and provide governments for the inhabitants of all territory belonging to the Confederate States, lying without the limits of the several Sates; and may permit them, at such times, and in such manner as it may by law provide, to form States to be admitted into the Confederacy. In all such territory the institution of negro slavery, as it now exists in the Confederate States, shall be recognized and protected by Congress and by the Territorial government; and the inhabitants of the several Confederate States and Territories shall have the right to take to such Territory any slaves lawfully held by them in any of the States or Territories of the Confederate States."—Article IV, Section 3, Par. 3​

HAHAHA!!!!

You can't get much more clownish than this guy.

His TDS is so acute, he get's up in the morning thinking about the man living rent free in his head, and starts an entire thread bashing the President for changing history, and when point blank asked what history the President is changing, he makes the above comment.

What a joke.
