America in the grips of Fascism, National Archives

“A placard that proclaims ‘God Hates Trump’ has ‘Trump’ blotted out so that it reads ‘God Hates,’ ” The Post reported.

But “God Hates” was not the message of the protester carrying that sign.

 Another sign that reads “Trump & GOP — Hands Off Women” has the word ‘Trump” blurred out.

Trump's Sharpie also Erases.

"Now the Archives has foolishly compromised the public’s sense of its independence, so artfully embedded in its landmark building.

By blurring out details from protest signs in an image of the 2017 Women’s March, including the name of President Trump and references to the female anatomy — a decision the Archives publicly apologized for on Saturday — it has damaged the faith many Americans, particularly women, may have had in its role as an impartial conservator of the nation’s records.

 It has unnecessarily squandered something that cannot easily be regained.

There must be consequences."
