⚠️ SATIRE WARNING

This is George Carlin–style heat—no civility, no soft edges. If you think history is just a memory game, or "reconstruction" is a costume party, you’re in the wrong channel. But if you want someone to punch fascism in its soft spot—welcome.

Let’s talk about Trump and that “Smithsonian’s teaching too much about slavery” meltdown. That’s not just white supremacy—it’s an ideological autopsy. It’s race denialism dressed up in patriotism so cheap you can feel it peeling off by applause.

This isn’t just ignoring history. It’s harder line authoritarianism saying: “Shut up about the past, give me your future.” Because history—especially the parts where Black people had votes, hospitals, trains, prosthetics—is the blueprint for:what democracy can do.

And democracy is the one thing this cult can’t control.

Let’s flashback: after the Civil War, Reconstruction brought schools, hospitals, railroads, hope for poor Black and white Southerners alike. White elites hated that. They couldn’t openly say, “We hate them because we’re racist.” No—politics then, just like MAGA now, told the same story: “It’s not race—it's socialism.” Black voters were “stealing” welfare.

Sound familiar? Trump’s policies, shrieking about socialism and “these people,” are born from that same corpse-shriveling logic.

Then came the 20th century: Eisenhower sends in the 101st to protect Black kids. The Democratic Party becomes the party of progress. Republicans respond with the Southern strategy: fear of “welfare queens,” guns, God, and withdrawal from government responsibility.

And guess what? If democracy means power for women, minorities, poor folks—then the solution is simple: make voting impossible. So they redraw maps. They hack the voting rules. They arrest legislators. They turn elections into rigged games, ballots into scams.

In Texas today, people of color are 60% of the population—but racist maps will put white elite power over 26 of 38 districts. That ain’t democracy. That’s Jim Crow 2.0 with red stripes and gold lamé.

And when Democratic representatives resist? They get hunted by state troopers. The House Speaker unleashes arrest warrants like medieval edicts. Hey, democracy! You’re canceled… for talking.

This is unsurprising—when the governor sees Black voices as “communist hippies,” wants them “taken out” as if they’re weeds. That’s not leadership. That’s literary fascism, hell-bent on erasing anyone who demands fair treatment.

And that’s what shipping "too much focus on slavery" with a wave means: the wrong people asking for justice are too historically aware, too empowered, too present.

This isn’t a freakout—it’s a coldblooded plan to collapse democracy. Because if you can erase the memory of equal rights, you undermine the possibility of justice. If the youth can’t learn the past, they won’t fight for the future.

So yes—Trump’s rant wasn’t about history. It was about fear: fear of Black people having history. That’s being in the bunker while the rest of America builds towards justice.

And that… is tyranny in graduation robes.
