The Citizens History Society formed to preserve the Smithsonian institution from political revisionism under the GOP dictatorship is amusingly similar to the actors in the sci-fi book and movie FAHRENHEIT 451 where a totalitarian government uses fire trucks to burn piles of books banned by the regime's political department.
The Citizens of that mythical Soviet style country commit themselves to read and memorize entire books so they can be shared with future generations without being confiscated by the regimes forces. Parts of the film show citizens walking around in forests reciting lines from these memorized classic books.
In today's America where an authoritarian political cult is purging all information deemed ideologically "Leftist" from public view it will be necessary for these citizens as well as others across the American government & society to record & preserve the facts of our democracy & cultures for a future time when this extremist (Maoist style) political cult is overthrown and replaced with legitimate national governance!
