made the mistake of going to the holocaust museum today.

i know there have been quite a few posts bitching about our guests, so i apologize in advance but this bugged me

my husband wanted to experience it for the first time and i deluded myself into thinking there was no way this museum would be overrun by trumpers for some reason. i was wrong, folks!

observed quite a few individuals in hats-of-a-certain-color giggling at disturbing photos, loudly talking about unrelated shit and disturbing the reverent atmosphere, and a group of teenagers? adults? taking stupid fucking photos posing outside the bunks from auschwitz

i also overheard several people attempting to make a false equivalency between victims of the holocaust and.. yeah, themselves

i understand that there are people of all walks who arent respectful at museums/memorials like this, but it just felt a bit more pronounced from a particular group today.
