Also, he purged the Kennedy Center of a collection of African art that was given in tribute to JFK, but he installed this, from the Tony Montana Meets Saddam Hussein Collection.

Indescribably, almost parodistically ugly, vulgar, gold-foil relief art, straight out of a dictator's cocaine palace, of Trump raising his fist and saying "Fight! Fight! Fight!" after having his ear grazed by a bullet, and of RFK Jr. with some croaky quote next to him. The art pieces look like something you could unwrap to reveal artificially flavored chocolate from five Easters ago.

People trying to protect their neighbors are not the problem. The fact that some of you are thinking that way reflects a level of psychological capture & submission to fascism that you should interrogate. If they want an "excuse" to do something, they'll create one. The good guys aren't the problem.
