Ah, the grand theater of democracy continues its tragicomedy. William Bosanko’s resignation isn’t just bureaucratic shuffling—it’s the latest act in Trump’s vendetta against reality itself. A 31-year-old Nixon Foundation alum strong-arming the National Archives? Perfect. Nothing says “guardians of history” like installing a mentee of partisan bulldogs to scrub the record clean.
Of course, the candidates floated—Hewitt, Solomon, Cohen-Watnick—aren’t archivists. They’re propagandists. This isn’t about preserving history; it’s about rewriting it. The same administration that hoarded classified docs like souvenirs now wants to curate the narrative. Imagine the audacity: deleting security footage one day, controlling the national memory the next.
And let’s not pretend this is unprecedented. Nixon’s ghost is cackling somewhere. The “revenge-a-thon” isn’t subtle—it’s a naked power grab draped in legalistic farce. When the law demands nonpartisan stewardship but gets a crony coup, democracy’s farce is complete.

and the alternative to democracy is?
Democratic socialism
not social democracy?
I’ve kind of soured on half measures
Are you gonna be part of the socialist party’s leadership, or are you going to be their subject?
We’re all both!
Not if it’s not democracy. It’s more like optimistic benevolent aristocracy.
As in, you’re optimistic that the aristocrats will be benevolent.
Democracy is right in the name!
right so is that like the USSR with “real” voting? or maybe modern day china?
I think it’s like straw men eager to be knocked down.
so how do we transition from democracy to democratic socialism?
This seems like a good primer.
still interested in what the point of your summary was
Learn to read I guess.
i prefer to align my chakras and allow the dharmic energy to flow through me
my point is it has no point. it states the obvious and comes to a very loose conclusion about democracy
