Know we are dumb as fuck, you mean
We are dumb as fuck
This helped me understand the lead up to WWII so much better.
Bold of you to assume students will learn about this in the future
Unless the republicans are able to control all the books and curriculum in schools
It's going to be Germany 1933-1945 all over again, except the leader is considered even more of a clown than the first time.
My face when my kids will have to do a report on Doge Coin.
Guessing it will be called The Stupid Ages, or maybe The Antichrist Years, depending on who is in charge.
The Disinformation Age
bold of you to assume there will still be students, history, or future
You think history students have it bad.
Imagine lawyers post-Trump. Well, according to established case law minus 2025-2029...
If it's like before, eventually it'll be just a vague "things were bad" like the gilded age or great depression. Humans aren't great at learning big picture things.
Trump is trying to make it easier for history students by deleting all mention of racism and other forms of discrimination
Optimistic of you to be so sure they'll be studying history at all in the future.
We'll see how many primary sources even survive the following decades.
Though I don't envy anyone who has to do history science when a large amount of primary sources are available. Imagine having to analyse Trump tweets for a paper.
