I donāt usually favor tearing down national landmarks, but in the case of the White House, Iām leaning that way. Hundreds of people who worked there in Mango Mussoliniās Reign of Errorā¢ļø watched him commit horrific crimes against America and did nothing. Once inside, any integrity they had vanished, and they enabled his worst instincts. Thatās too much greed, depravity, and criminality for one building to hold, unless that building is a prison. Tear it down. #Politics
Interesting. I expect that Republicans also have a list of historic buildings and national parks they want reduced to rubble.
Could certainly reduce the cost of the NPS if we just got rid of all the ones the current party dislikes every time there is a change in power.

Thing is, the White House isn't a symbol of or monument to a particular president or policy or war, it's the official residence of the officeholder.
We wouldn't be erasing his presence, we would be acknowledging he was powerful enough to get us to destroy things just to destroy them.
@Cosmichomicide @cassandra17lina like Melania did to the rose garden.
@DavidKMresists @cassandra17lina
And Reagan took down Carter's solar panels and Melania turned the basketball court into a tennis court and Nixon put in bowling lanes.
The residence can change for petty reasons, but poor taste shouldn't doom the thing. š
@Cosmichomicide @cassandra17lina the government really doesn't pay its debts anyway. It would be cheaper to simply name them after Confederate generals when the Republicans are in power. Or autocratic rulers of other countries
