if we remove him from h*me al*ne 2 and other stuff I feel like that just lets us ignore how unseriously we took him until it was too late? like 45 became president bc of how deeply he permeated out culture for being rich and I think that's an important part to remember.

Tbh, this is why I think there'll never be someone *just like Trump* again (not that the GOP can't find other fascists). But he was ubiquitous with success & an idiom for wealth for decades? His name was shorthand, like band-aid, for so long and no one else comes close to that?

It also helps that it was all probably a lie and I think in the internet age, that's harder to fake!

absolutely. he was a household name for being rich before we had the tools en masse to see thru it! but what I'm getting at here is that erasing him from appearances kind of erases our own complicity in his rise! removing that innocuous stuff makes it seem like he emerged -

fully and obviously a fascist dictstor when actually he was an incredibly popular media personality that we all let get away with public racism for years bc we didn't take it seriously! and erasing that history makes it hard for us to know it when we see it again.

Agreeed we have to stop acting like we aren't part of the problem.
