He really has made a determined effort to rewrite history. I’ve mentioned before that, if he’s around long enough, he’ll change all high school history texts to state that he won in 2020, but that history shows the election was stolen by Democrats. This has been such a consistent thing with Trump, that I do find myself wondering if future generations will recognize the truth, or add Trump’s take to the list of conspiracy theories dominating the culture wars, etc, and somehow become accepted American history."But in the first year of his second term, it appears Trump is no longer concerned about appearances or the pretense of propriety. He’s corrupting the process; he seems to know he’s corrupting the process; he must know that we know he’s corrupting the process; and he’s doing it anyway.
If, on the other hand, Truth and Justice prevail, and who can blame anyone for doubting that will ever happen, then future histories of our times will have to be along these lines: “Trump, believing in the “Strongman” theory of world domination, and rejecting the democratic principles and institutions of the United States, launched his first run in 2016, by laying the groundwork of the belief that only cheating and election interference by Democrats would cost him the 2016 election. This same claim was again promoted as the truth by Trump, in 2020, and his insistence that the 2020 election was stolen led to the attack on Congress on 1/6/21. Once back in office, in 2025, Trump made efforts to bake this false narrative, this 100% fake history, into the only narrative of recent American history of the United States that would be acceptable, from that time forward: the 2020 election was stolen, and earlier efforts to examine links between Russia and Trump, during the 2016 election, were also described as “a weaponized justice system”, weaponized by Democrats in order to destroy Trump, and Mueller’s investigation was in fact baseless. As was Jack Smith’s fake charges. And all the prosecutions that followed in 2025, against his accusers, were designed to punish these 2016 and 2020 injustices and lies by Democrats”.
Something resembling the paragraph above will have to be our understanding of the history of our own time, IF, that’s IF, Truth and Justice eventually actually prevail in our country. Certainly future historians will hone in on the truth of what happened in our times, regardless of any “official” histories. But, when Trump is no more, will his fake history still be the only accepted history? If so, then Truth and Justice failed. I’m of the opinion that truth will always prevail, but tell that to the Russian public, living in a society and under a government that only accepts lies as the accepted history allowed.
It’s very clear that Trump, through his words and prosecutions, is determined to rewrite our country’s history. To suit his rise to power. It really is one of his top priorities. It’s more important than almost anything else to Trump. In other words, destroying the Truth of our recent history is of the very highest priority to our fascist president.
