#GiftArticle Here Come Trump’s ‘Freedom Trucks’ A fleet of mobile museums is touring the country with a version of #UShistory the #Trump admin can get behind. …The #FarRight wing edutainment nonprofit #PragerU, which aims to help “people of all ages think & live better while upholding Judeo-Christian values,” put the vehicles together.

    #PragerU has a recent history of teaming up with the #Trump admin, including on a “civics-education” campaign assembled for the semiquincentennial. At least one organizer canceled an appearance of the truck to avoid appearing to endorse PragerU’s politics. (Hillsdale College, a liberal-arts school known for its conservative, Christian bent, also worked on the trucks.) #propaganda #indoctrination #whitewashing #UShistory #evangelism

  • @Nonilex@masto.ai So this is propaganda masquerading as history?

    @Nonilex@masto.ai I would agree that it is appropriate to bookend American History with Presidents Washington and Trump. George Washington was present at, and was instrumental in, the birth of a republican democracy. Donald Jesus Trump is present at, and has been instrumental in, the demise of that republican democracy. As George Orwell wrote in '1984': "'Who controls the past,' ran the Party slogan, 'controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.'" #Trump #GOP #MAGA #NoKings #INGSOC #TyrantTrump #DesperateDespots
