In one executive order on Thursday, President Trump called for both the restoration of Confederate monuments *and* the removal of “divisive race-centered ideology” from the Smithsonian.
Could his racism be any more blatant?
The Confederates were about as “divisive” as you can get in American history. They literally started a way to divide the nation. And why did they do this? Because they had a “race-centered ideology.” (The Vice President of the Confederacy said “it’s cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the Negro is not equal to the White man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition.”)
What Trump is having removed is anything that celebrates people who are not white. And that’s racist. https://www.npr.org/2025/03/28/nx-s1-5343613/trump-executive-order-smithsonian-monuments
@revjss Die USA sind auf dem Weg in den Faschismus und im Faschismus ist Rassismus ein Grundprinzip. Das war so im Dritten Reich in Deutschland und genauso wird es nun sein im "Ersten Reich" in Amerika. Dunkle Tage kommen auf die USA zu.
@martinschemm - My hope is that we can stop the progression into fascism. That's my I'm standing up NOW. That's why I'm speaking up NOW. I don't want to be repeating what Martin Niemöller said after the war.
@revjss Indeed, it's time to stand up right now before the damage is done.
Trump is destroying democratic structures even faster than the Nazis in Germany died in the 1930ies. Its a nightmare!
