Until he betrayed #America, #BenedictArnold’s name was displayed on monuments, at #WestPoint etc.

His name was removed; a targeted historical erasure.

The same thing will happen to #Trump eventually. #USPol #TrumpRegime #TrumpCrimeFamily #auspol

At least Benedict Arnold didn't betray the country for fucking **slavery**
Conservatives: #PierrePoilievre would NOT have sold #Canada out to Trump so fast it would make #BenedictArnold seem QUAINT, just to be the governor of his #51ststate! Pierre Poilievre: Today!... 🇨🇦 #Cdnpoli #ABpoli #Ableg

#BenedictArnold’s name was deliberately removed from monuments because it became #synonymous with #treason in the #UnitedStates.

The same fate awaits #Trump. #USPol #auspol #TrumpRegime

I need to make some space so I’m filling a new #storage tub to make room for newer #treasures.

The late #TimBowden’s book ‘One Crowded Hour’ returns to storage along with ‘#Traitor - A History of #Betrayal From #BenedictArnold to #DonaldTrump’ & my favourite #DVD#GetCrazy’ - along with a few dozen DVD’s & couple of my old #iPadMini’s & older #iPads I’ve had sitting around #gatheringdust.

Bye guys! I’ll open you up again one day.😢

I can’t wait to flush #Trump down America’s toilet.

For my kid to learn in #history class how America rose up to fight back against him.

For his name to be alongside “#BenedictArnold” and “#Judas

And for everyone who supports him to pretend they never did.

And for the grifters to go #bankrupt like everything Trump touches.

We deserve better. And we will rise up and achieve that. We rock.
