I did not anticipate the destruction of our history

[edhopper]

I knew the Trump presidency would be bad, worse than most said. But what I did not see coming was the ruthless carnage of our collective history for fascist, bigoted reasons. And none of this will be fixed by the flip of a switch in the next Administration. It is gone, as Kansas sang "dust in the wind".
Not since the burning of the Library at Alexandria or the shredding of the books from the Mayan Empire has the wholesale removal of written history, which has taken centuries of scholarship and research, seen such a level of barbarity.
What this loathsome Pig has done to the Smithsonian, the Pentagon, the CDC, NASA, the National Parks and every collection he and his minions can get their disgusting hands on is beyond unpardonable. He has thrown out so much, and I don't see how we will ever recover much of it.
It is not still out there only to be returned, it is gone.
