It’s an ugly watch but I would buy it to preserve the history. The holocaust refrain “Never forget” (which applies to many things from slavery to WW2 to 9/11 to the Russia hoax) has taken a huge hit in recent years as we’ve seen monuments vanish, history rewritten, subverted, obliterated.

Pieces like this are life changing. Many years ago there was a “World War 2 through Russia eyes” exhibit in San Diego. It was a collection of WW2 artifacts including Hitler’s globe, desk, Stalin’s overcoat, various Nazi and Soviet items. It made that history real. I even read a good bit of Mein Kampf and remember Hilter writing about using teachers and heroes in ways that could have been written about Democrat politics and strategy. It was one of those nothing new under the Sun moments.

WW2 was my parents’ and their parents’ war but closer to my lifetime than my childhood is to millennials’ yet even then it wasn’t personally connected to me. That’s why statues and artifacts like this must be preserved so conversations can start and connections can be made. The Left sees a statue of Robert E Lee or Fr Junipero Serra and must destroy (yet banning books is bad?) whereas people on the conservative side will talk about the history, the good and bad. They want to learn from it. The Left wields it like a weapon for power and control.

It’s why the black community is still such a mess. The Left trains them from birth to think of themselves as second class, victims, unable to achieve and think for themselves, they are constantly reminded not to step out of line and that’s reinforced by the community culture and it reflects the plantation. They are conditioned to be dependent. It’s dehumanizing and borne of the same corrupt thinking that powered the Democrat slave trade and Jim Crowe.

You cannot grow if you cannot let go.

Doesn’t mean you forget, it means you move on to bigger and better things.

MAGA/America First welcomes everyone. Trump broke new ground with minorities and threatened the status quo. He dared challenge the orthodoxy that you vote Democrat “or you ain’t black” and yet Covid Joe is in the White House with his prop as number two. The red, white and blue is all inclusive. That’s the promise of America and the American dream. We don’t need fifteen flags and redundant holidays. We find common ground and don’t need to tear at each other to achieve.

Trump understood and spoke often about winning and he wanted everyone to benefit from his policies from low unemployment to the opportunity zones to demanding a fair deal for Americans in international trade and drug costs, an immigration policy that protected and benefited America, to the criminal reform and efforts to make peace around the world through engagement with North Korea and the Abraham accords in the Middle East and many other things. A man of the People, Trump was an existential threat to the gravy train of the political class and their corporate and media allies. He was the exact opposite of a fascist demonstrated in no better way than how Covid response was run by the states and coordination supported by the feds.
