One of the first things a fascist regime establishes is a fake history that fits into their ideology. Books are burned. Books are banned. History is rewritten to reflect white superiority.
Students of history will point to Hitler's Nazi regime for an example. Dictators like Mussolini formed a restrictive government that told people what to believe and who to believe in.
It's 2026 and Americans are watching their heritage slip-slide away under a corrupt authoritarian government that favors the wealthy and the White.
Schools and libraries have been besieged with regime trolls banning books and rewriting curriculums in public schools in both of Trump's terms. His vile efforts have increased during his second term.
For the sake of space, I'm just going to point out one of Trump's attempts to rewrite our history. There are numerous others.
In July, the White House released a scathing 162-page report accusing the Smithsonian Institution of engaging in "extreme political activism" and presenting "a radical view of American history."
The blatantly political report, which was published by the White House Domestic Policy Council, took aim at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, accusing its leadership of adopting "an ideological framework that no longer treats the American story as a shared national inheritance to be taught or celebrated, but as a political instrument to divide, dispirit, and discourage our citizens."
In other words, ignore the fact that Americans in southern states enslaved black people to enrich themselves. That blacks in America had to fight for their freedoms and still are.
The report came out after Trump signed an executive order on March 27, 2025, called (ironically) "Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History."
Since the July release of that scathing report the Trump regime has been attacking exhibits and demanding they change them because they don't reflect the new Trumpian reality.
It's no wonder that the Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie Brunch stepped down on Tuesday from his position while telling ABC News that "I have fought as long as I can." Brunch has been a part of the Smithsonian Institution for 38 years and was named secretary in June 2019, making him the first African American to serve in that role.
You can imagine the pressure Brunch has been under coming from our racist regime that minimizes people of color and which refuses to obey laws it doesn't like.
As it Stands, it's up to you and me, and millions of other voters, to turn out for the midterm elections and vote Blue to reverse the traitorous trend Trump is taking this country on.
