This is now two consecutive popes who have loudly stood against fascism and general malfeasance by the far-right -- both elected, in part, by conservative cardinals within the Catholic Church. It's almost as though God is trying to communicate something here.

When my youngest leaned the concept of “when people love each other that’s all the matters: not boy/girl, girl/girl, boy/boy, they/them, etc.” as a toddler he immediately asked “why would anyone have a problem with people loving each other?” and THAT I had trouble trying to explain to him

If Democratic politicians do not fight this because it's a "distraction," it will simply happen. They need to get in front of every mic and say that we will not allow Trump to destroy American history. He wants a culture war? GIVE HIM ONE. There are no distractions. Have every fight.

Trump on TruthSocial: The Museums throughout Washington, but all over the Country are, essentially, the last remaining segment of ‘WOKE.’ The Smithsonian is OUT OF CONTROL, where everything discussed is how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was, and how unaccomplished the downtrodden have been — Nothing about Success, nothing about Brightness, nothing about the Future. We are not going to allow this to happen, and I have instructed my attorneys to go through the Museums, and start the exact same process that has been done with Colleges and Universities where tremendous progress has been made. This Country cannot be WOKE, because WOKE IS BROKE. We have the ‘HOTTEST’ Country in the World, and we want people to talk about it, including in our Museums.
