You’re joking right? Maybe not yet. But you don’t think the racist fascists in charge with their brand new concentration camps might eventually want to do a little cleanup of history lessons and exhibits to omit a few details that might cause people to draw some parallels to modern events?
Regardless though, the point is that a grain of obvious politically motivated lying means you will always wonder what else may be a less obvious lie or omission. Institutions like the Smithsonian operate on public trust. They’ve just lost it. They’ve lied before, they’ll almost certainly lie again, so they’re no longer trustworthy as a source.
