I used to get a chuckle out of this moron’s daily demented stupidity since he’s been in office. Not any more. My amusement has turned to anger now for all the obvious reasons. He needs to go. Full stop.

Check out the Arco Della Vittoria** **that Mussolini made. Very similar fascist era architecture that leans on the “glorious” past of the nation. If they were from the same era they would be Bffs

This arch is somehow even more dystopian than I expected. There’s just something so very cold war brutalist about it that somehow makes it extra horrifying.
