He will live in infamy because history is written by dispassionate scholars based on facts, not ideological political extremists living in their own reality.

Yes, isolation will keep people living under that uninformed, but the information itself will not disappear from this earth -or more exactly: from space.
But given the control that the US has over the internet though, I suspect while the book burning may be metaphorical, it may be no less effective.
You are right on point. And that's the real problem.
Empires of the past died on exactly that inner rot.
Many people are complacent and uncurious when their most personal needs and interests are met.
And if the other information is not put right in front of them, they will never miss it.
If someone really wants to know and to find out, that individual can.
Today, ignorance is a choice./2
There was a time after Lucretius, when book burning really did destroy information forever.
Now it's just a publicity stunt, an empty gesture of impotent hate. They burned Beatles records too, and I hear those guys did okay.
"We shall go down in history as the greatest statesmen of all time, or as the greatest criminals"
You are our only hope
We all did.
It's heartbreaking that more Americans didn't get out and vote!
Now we all have to suffer through 4 years of the horrors he'll inflict on Americans & the rest of the world.
I do believe there was CHEATING that occurred.
There were record numbers of people who voted, where are all those votes?
|god you fucks are pathetic as hell!
TV is your god and you forgot that over 92% of the USA voted for him as EVERY DEMOCRAT IS LITERALLY IN A CULT!
They have been caught multiple times and havent done a thing FOR the American people unless they were FORCED to
when that includes everything about the political system then that's a failure of the civic duty of the citizens of a democracy. they should teach that in schools...or would that be considered partisan and sued. the urge to slap such people....😛
Trump and his flying monkeys know this from the authoritarian playbook, and went after the easily brainwashed.
& barriers. Other countries are exploring ways to address this. 2024 was such a pivotal election.
It’s important to speak to the segment of those who didn’t vote.
AOC & other Dems are making a big effort to learn more about why they missed/abstained.
even reddit noticed that EVERYBODY VOTED TRUMP because Democrats PROVED they didnt care about American citizens
Convincing you not to vote is disenfranchisement. There were literally ballot boxes burned in WA state to prevent votes being counted. Many votes must be cured. Many votes are invalidated. You can't prove tried but couldn't vote.
It's not usually by choice that we don't vote, and even when we think it was, it wasn't.
Stop blaming the voters for not voting.
You're literally blaming the victims for their victimhood when you point out stats like this.
I don't understand what you are trying to say.
I feel like you may have intended sarcasm, but I can't suss out what you did intend.
Why does everyone assume that all the non-voters would vote the way they want? If they did vote, they breakdown would most likely be the same as those who did.
We cannot know what that "breakdown" most likely would be, because that is unknowable by the nature of the fact that they didn't vote.
It doesn't matter WHY they didn't, _that_ they didn't is a problem, a solvable problem.
Your whiteness is showing. I know it's difficult to believe things you have not personally experienced, but how much of the country is not white, would you estimate?
If they wanted everyone to vote, it would be mandatory, but it's not.
We could fix it, but we don't.
2) Why do you even think color is a factor here?
3) To vote, I drop my ballot off at the post office. they don't check for color at the door. 🙄
That’s a lazy interpretation.
...as if there weren't bomb threats.
...as if people are not turned away for having an address error.
as if people _aren't_ prevented from voting
A “low information populace” is so much easier to control! The Putin playbook.
However, I did canvassing for a Congressional candidate this election. Most people have no idea what is going on and what is at stake.
If elections & politics are rendered as relevant to you as rocks on the moon, that's what you're going to get. Gotta fix it.
That's why they have to spend billions of $ on propaganda every year. They wouldn't if they were better.
The more people that vote, the better the Dems do. That holds true nearly every time.
And that's so they can take more of your money, and give you less of theirs.
It's the most common and understated cause of election fraud.
Please stop blaming people for not having their vote counted. We can barely prove we did actually vote.
Can you prove you voted? Most cannot.
The sticker doesn't count.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_fraud#Disenfranchisement
Many can't prove that they did or did not vote, nor how
I do not have any proof that I voted, nonetheless how I voted; I voted in person.
...Most importantly: We can't prove if we tried to vote but were prevented, which happens... a lot.
No. A large percentage sat out the election. Terrible, but true.
I need you to understand that "being convinced that voting doesn't matter" is a very strong form of electoral fraud known as disenfranchisement.
It may _look_ like a choice they made. It was not. It's a psychological campaign, and has been since Jim Crow.
In other words, shut the fuck up.

And look at the way Reagan is portrayed today. Reagan, who confessed to arming the Ayatollah who vowed "death to America," crippled unions and middle class.
history's written by the victors, but if history pays you out enough money as it goes along,, it stops mattering much if you were backing the losing side
Just one more time. 🙏
He is an actor.
Stop falling for his shit and move on with your life.
Why have all of my childhood heroes turned [fill-in blank]phobic?
I am celebrating the end of another dictatorship half way around the world. Asad has fled the country.
We will get thru this, indeed.
Oh, I'd like to find that Cross stitch pattern. 😁
here’s hoping his replacement is better and not worse
For a hot take... Tony Michaels on You Tube/Spotify.
MSM will spin and smokescreen as the unlived person was CEO of United Health.
Mark Hamill knows something about that.

Had Hitler won WWII, we would be studying a very different ideological history
History is written by the winners
If only, now then, first let's choose our facts.

He lives in factual infamy there.

➡️Voter registration

It was Reagan's decision to remove the fairness doctrine that opened the door first for Fox News and, when they got away with so much, an entire extreme right disinformation machine posing as news.
History is also written in letters, journals, newspapers. Was hard copy, now bits and bytes, ephemeral and fleeting.
I will say something I hope you will not get too angry but you cannot learn your history from movies.
Thankfully the modern world allows a whole lot of other people to write, too, and scholars are no longer quite so subject to execution for saying the wrong thing.
This seems to be a recurring trend. No victor escapes their sins in how they're remembered ages later.
A certain American party will be haunted by this more than a century from now, I'm sure.
All this talk and writing about resistance... It feels like 2016, and I really can't see how things differ now.
All of the "resisters" eventually echo his vulgarity.
I want him to have a nice, long life😈

That is a Joke/r, isn't it? 🤷
I'm going to get a drink.
Can I get one for anyone else?
My husband thought I'd seen a spider.
Single Malt Scotch?
It's too early for me, as well.
The post is from last night.
I’ll have whatever you’re having 🙋🏻♀️✨🙃
Margot and I will take a double, please.

Regardless, after he's dead, he will be profoundly infamous in all scholarly history books!
Uups, wrong... we had enough such scenarios in history already and should know better. But too man people did not listen.
(Although perhaps sometimes a little murder is required to bring one side back to the table.)

Being forgotten like an old meme, remembered only in trivia questions. Like "Before the seccessions of the 2030s, who was the last president of the USA?"
