The Tulsi Gabbard play, clearly scripted by Trump, in addition to creating a diversion from the Epstein files heat, is a pure and simple attempt to rewrite history and scrub the ole legacy a bit:
"Throughout the 20th century, many dictators engaged in rewriting history as a means of solidifying their power, justifying their actions, and controlling the population.
Here are some prominent examples:
Joseph Stalin (Soviet Union): History was routinely rewritten under Stalin's rule, particularly to portray his enemies, like Trotsky, as traitors to the Revolution, notes Medium states. He even went to the extent of doctoring photographs to remove purged individuals from historical images. The official narrative also shifted from emphasizing the role of the working class to highlighting the importance of "great men" like Stalin, drawing comparisons to past despots such as Peter the Great and Ivan the Terrible.
Adolf Hitler (Nazi Germany): Hitler's regime promoted an ideology of racial purity and Aryan supremacy, rewriting history to justify these beliefs and demonize Jews and other minority groups. This involved rejecting areas of science dominated by Jewish scientists, such as theoretical physics, in favor of an "Aryan physics".
Mao Zedong (China): During the Cultural Revolution, Mao's regime used propaganda to revise history, promoting an idealized image of Mao as a revolutionary from childhood, according to Listverse. Textbooks and other materials were utilized to indoctrinate the populace with the Party's version of history and to erase any narratives that challenged their authority or the "socialism with Chinese characteristics" ideology.
Kim Il-sung (North Korea): The Kim dynasty built a cult of personality around Kim Il-sung, fabricating myths about his birth and leadership during the fight against Japanese colonial rule. This included constructing monuments and museums dedicated to fabricated victories, according to the New Statesman.
Nicolae Ceauescu (Romania): Ceauescu crafted a narrative of his childhood that emphasized rural poverty and hardship, portraying himself as a self-made leader rooted in the Romanian working class. This was taught in schools and presented in state media, designed to foster unity and suppress dissent.
These are just a few examples, and the practice of rewriting history is not limited to these regimes.
Dictators often manipulate historical narratives to create a mythology around their own rise to power, legitimize their authority, silence opposition, and instill nationalistic fervor among their populations."AI Overview
