The Arlington National Cemetery website has scrubbed dozens of pages on gravesites and educational materials that include histories of prominent Native American, Black, Hispanic, and female service members buried in the cemetery. Only White males remain.

          Fascism in the 1920s and 30s became popular until America entered WWII late after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. After we “won” the war for everyone, it was condemned and went away, but not entirely. It has been a slow long-game rebuild to bring it back into fashion in the US.

          Weird to think about, the US could have very well gone full Fascism and joined the Axis powers, had Japan not bombed Hawaii.

          Worst part, it is coming back under the guidance of boomers, humans that literally got to experience the best human existence ever seen on planet Earth (post WWII), but apparently that wasn’t enough for them, they had to make sure nobody else was ever able to experience it.
