"He does it on behalf of those who are sponsoring his Christo-fascist or ethno-nationalist movement and thereby building a powerbase that can serve the real big bosses, the oligarchs at the top of the food chain who are cynically tapping into white grievances to gain an ever bigger piece of the pie and to further entrench themselves so their interests cannot be challenged by something as flighty and unpredictable as the will of the people."

It’s a “Master Narrative” set: the Doctrine of Discovery, Manifest Destiny, and Survival of the Fittest repackaged. It is also the reason why some writers must write.

Joyce Vance notes that when Trump purchased a golf course in Virginia, he placed a plaque with made-up history at the site claiming that "great" soliders of both North and South died there:

"'Write your story the way you want to write it,' Trump told reporters who pressed him for any evidence to support the supposed history he attributed to the site.

#Trump has ordered a review of the #Smithsonian #museums toward "celebrat[ing] American exceptionalism, remov[ing] divisive or partisan narratives, and restor[ing] confidence in our shared cultural institutions." Within 4 months there will be "content corrections ... replacing divisive or ideologically driven language with unifying, historically accurate, and constructive descriptions across ... public-facing materials." In other words, WHITEWASH. #history #politics whitehouse.gov/briefings-state
