Donald Trump said Tuesday that he has ordered his attorneys to conduct a review of Smithsonian museums, calling their portrayal of U.S. history too negative and focused too much on “how bad Slavery was.”
Trump said he would subject the museums to “the exact same process” his administration has conducted of universities, with the goal of making the Smithsonian less “woke.”
Trump has literally zero empathy and no morals, and probably thinks it was good for the economy and the slave owners, so it wasn’t that bad.
One would have hoped Americans are learning a lesson now, but apparently most of the Trump supporters are not. On the contrary they are absolutely fine with it. Sometimes even when their own families are hit by Trump policies, they still say they support him?!
Half Americans are in a brainwashed cult, and the other half is in danger of slowly going crazy too, due to the insanity that USA is now.
It’s not half. It’s less than a third of Americans that support him.
Nearly 37% of Americans didn’t vote in the last election, which is arguably worse…
We’ve been screaming “freedom isn’t free” at one another for over a century, and yet that many of us don’t care enough to vote.
The only reliable poll is the election, and at the election Trump got just above half the votes.
Every attempt at claiming half the population doesn’t support Trump is just green washing the numbers IMO.
It could also be said to be more than two thirds, since everybody that didn’t vote, didn’t do anything to prevent him from winning.
Saying it’s just a third is naive.
Ironically, slavery hurt the south economically
It made them a single-industry agricultural economy, which only works so long as people want what you’re growing. When cotton was new, and fresh, and cool, it worked great for them! When the world started transitioning to a industrial manufacturing/global trade economy, it became a lot less valuable and lot less productive, as machines could do more, cheaper.
Not to mention that the old plantation owners made absolute bank from share cropping after the slaves were liberated. Their economy was actually hampered by slavery, but it was worth it to them since they could futher entrench their racial hierarchy.
Slavery is a terrible idea, who knew
Turns out an educated, happy, and productive populace is far more beneficial
So, i don’t think i would use any of those words to describe the population pf freed alaves for the next 100 years, as they were not made equala in society one bit
See the new Florida standards:

“The Florida State Board of Education’s new standards includes controversial language about how “slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit,” according to a 216-page document about the state’s 2023 standards in social studies, posted by the Florida Department of Education.”
Yes they should actually thank us for taking them out of freedom into slavery. /s
It’s like when back in Europe some medieval explorers asked the Catholic church if it was immoral to kill the natives in South America, and the conclusion by the church was that it must be OK because it was Gods will, since he had given the white man such superior weapons.
