There's a series of things (like the ballroom, Gulf of America) that we're going to have to *undo* the moment this guy is out of office. And yet I can already hear future Democrat presidents saying "I'm focused on the people's work, not the knucklehead stuff" and just leave this man's shit up.
Triumph’s of liberal architecture are just taken for granted as existing that way by default. Liberalism delivered everything from the neo-classical and greek revivals up to the most modern buildings. The unifying substrate of liberal architecture is informed taste.

I'm not even going to repost a screengrab of his post about Rob Reiner but man it really needs to be said every single day: Trump truly is the biggest piece of shit in the world, a man of absolutely no good qualities and seemingly limitless bad ones. Support for him is just so damning.
