I understand the value of national monuments. But why does a Republic need a “Triumphal Arch”? That’s something you’d find in an empire.

I’d much rather see the money go to upgrading VA hospitals.

Because beauty is as much a need for society as things like hospitals and such.

It is why one of the first things the socialists is replace what is beautiful to something functional made of concrete.

Brutalism cane from the socialists.

America can have freaking nice things too. All the haters be like if it wasn’t built in 1800s we can’t have it, unless it’s drab Grey government building. Good grief, let’s build nice things

I was never too crazy about a Triumphal Arch either.

I’d much rather see the money go to upgrading VA hospitals.

I was just in one, and I was well cared for.
