Never trust anyone that tries to erase the past to sell you a new future.

Haven’t read it just yet, but let’s guess… American exceptionalism, whitewashing, slavery was good actually, we need more imminent domain?

Well I was close. I missed trans erasure, so it looks like anything that highlights racism against black people, or makes whites uncomfortable is out, we’re going to bring back the statues and junking the white losers of the civil war, erase trans people from history, and even the Zionist involved? Not sure I understand what they want to change there. Definitely trying to highlight that America is amazing and wonderful and straight white men are perfect and never did anything wrong.

Fuck this country

Nothing about space that I've seen so far, and I'm guessing you mean Manifest Destiny when you say imminent domain (yeah, more or less that vibe is rolled up in there), otherwise pretty much right on the money.

Ah yeah, manifest destiny, thanks! And space was an autocorrect fail, fixed now.
