    Once they capitulate that’s it. They should shut down. If they don’t then The Smithsonian(In all its incarnations) will be nothing but a propaganda machine and useless as information that can be trusted. If they shut it down then when all of this ends, they can come back.

    How the fuck you make the Smithsonian political? Only thing I remember there is the protozoic display. I can see how Trump would think a bunch of tube worms eating each other is political but fucken hell.

      The Smithsonian operates museums for African history and Native American history in DC. I doubt they will fare well in this purge of Degenerate Art.

      There’s a bunch of Smithsonian museums iirc. That was probably the Natural History one. There’s a few human history ones.

        I remember that and the aerospace one. Still though. Attacking museums like this should ring everyone’s bells. Its the Smithsonian. America’s Museum. It should already make America look amazing. But what it probably doesnt do is make Trump look amazing.
