Literally everything he does makes a ton of us think “that’s some dictator shit”, a lot of us go out and protest about it too. Problem is, peaceful protests aren’t doing shit.
They gather people and remind everyone how much actual support there is out there. Eventually enough will feel empowered to act and affect real change.
Anyone who values knowledge enough to have ever been to the Smithsonian or any other museum like it does immediately think that. The problem is in how many people have been brainwashed into thinking that “knowledge” is defined as “the trap those librul Satan-worshipping pedo trannies used to convince my grandson to stop talking to me and leave god behind”
fortunately there are a lot of independent museums around the country that have always been better than the smithsonian, if you know where to find them
best science museum I’ve ever been to is the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) in Portland Oregon. Hands down. My wife and I considered having children just to have someone to take there to play with the exhibits and we don’t even live in Oregon. I’d need more time to come up with a good list but I spent a lot of time there as a kid. I have memories of seeing a space shuttle there or something like it (I know for a fact I saw some orbiter capsules that they still have) but my mother and I have argued about whether the shuttle memories are real memories or not. I mean Shuttle Endeavour is in Los Angeles and that is worth a trip in the far future if you’re a space dork like me.
So here’s my experience: We have family near Portland, Oregon. We’d go visit every now and then each year, and part of the visits we’d stop by OMSI because it is THE BEST MUSEUM. So one year my family decides to take a trip to DC. We go to the Smithsonian. We hear that the Air and Space Museum is so cool, right? Set aside a few days because the exhibits are the neatest! We pop in, and we’ve already seen everything. At OMSI. Only OMSI presented everything in a far more fun, interactive, and memorable way, because it’s not just a museum, it’s also a children’s museum. So we got an extra day on our DC trip from not needing two days at Air and Space.
Good to know. I’m a big fan of the Smithsonian Natural History Museum, but it was recently blown out of the water by the London Museum of Natural History (though I think the vibe of the Oxford Natural History Museum is my favourite, atmosphere-wise, even though its halls can’t hold a candle to the other two)
As someone who completely believes this is dictator shit…
As politics and society became inclusive, the portrayal of history has changed to accommodate different points of view. This reevaluation turned a lot of historical heroes into more complex people or even outright villains. From their point of view, whomever wins at politics gets to shape history.
Another third ignores it because their favorite tv show is on, and hey, they’re white and nothing’s happened to them yet, so obviously everything is fine and those protesters are just overreacting.
And the final third looks at it and thinks ‘That’s my dictator! Attaboy!’
You’re leaving out a serious chunk of ignorant Americans. Most of us are illiterate, can’t follow along with a novel kinda illiterate.
My wife has only been here a couple of years. Before she met me and started looking at the news she thought Trump was a fine man.
Stop the “man on the street” and ask him what he knows about what we talk about around here, daily news, he won’t have a clue.
And finally, Fox News is the most popular media in the United States. And I don’t wish to hear any hate for Fox from people who don’t actually watch it. They’re far more subtle than we give them credit for. They hardly ever lie!
you have a strange definition of illiteracy. I spent a fair amount of my time working in poverty an literacy education. that “most” you define as illiterate would have to be approximately defined as “does not have a bachelors degree” for your numbers to be even close to accurate. it’s closer to 0.5-1%, and that depends on whether we are talking exclusively about English literacy.
How does anyone in America hear this and not immediately think “That’s dictator shit”?
every day dude

Or they just stick to their neoliberal guns and virtue signal their way into a gulag

List please. Having finished my pilgrimage to the science museums of Britain, I should like to add more to my list.

Something something 1984 something something…
Some like it. It’s pretty gross.
A third do.

As long as it pisses off the libs, they are putting all of their weight behind it.
I can’t wait until he goes after everyone’s firearms.
Because they also have chosen to live completely separated from reality and they’re happy to see the rest of the world joining them.
