There are several reasons #secession is a terrible idea, even if we don't agree that it was settled in the 1860s.

One is that there are human beings who live in so-called red states, who will be victimized by the #fascists. We have no right to abandon them to be murdered.

Another is that secession won't bring peace. Because fascists have made clear they don't want to peacefully coexist with democracy, they want to destroy it.

#LawrenceBritt #CharacteristicsOfFascism Numbers 1 and 11...

1. Powerful and Continuing #Nationalism
Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of #patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. #Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.

11. Disdain for #Intellectuals and the #Arts
Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to #HigherEducation and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other #academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts.

Trump targets 'anti-American ideology' at Smithsonian museums

by Max Matza, 3/27/2025

"US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order targeting the Smithsonian Institution, which operates more than 20 museums and research centres visited by millions yearly in Washington DC and New York City.

"The order directs the vice-president to 'eliminate improper, divisive, or anti-American ideology' from the institute's museums, centres and the National Zoo in Washington.

"It also directs the interior secretary to restore federal properties, including parks, memorials and statues, which 'have been improperly removed or changed in the last five years to perpetuate a false revision of history'.

"The move is part of Trump's effort to shape American culture, in addition to politics."

www.bbc.comTrump targets 'anti-American ideology' at Smithsonian museumsThe order says that "divisive narratives" must be purged from the US museums and research centres.

Attacking the #smithsonian ? Really? And assigning unqualified cronies “ to remove improper ideology from such properties, and shall recommend to the President any additional actions necessary to fully effectuate such policies”.
Museum of#DegenerateArt anyone?

Join me, proud American with what JD and the gang would deem “improper ideology”, and fight the #fascists .
Expose some shameful truths and some toxic lies. The whole of our history must be known and then let’s do better.
