Trump is following Hitler’s play book.
I’m watching the 1989 miniseries “The Nightmare Years,” based on William Shirer’s book “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. It recount the progress of Nazism as witnessed by journalist Shirer, a foreign correspondant in Berlin during the ’30s.
Trump’s determination to replace facts with propaganda echoes the Reich’s. Trump’s fascists are calling any museum or institution that acknowledges the true history of this country as “un-American,” as they attempt to replace all knowledge with nationalist dogma.
Needless to say, a huge majority of Americans don’t want Trump overseeing museums or libraries.
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting is wisely suing Trump over his unlawful firing of three board members that don’t meet with fascist approval.
