'GO **** YOURSELVES': Leaked national park comments slam Washington

The United States Department of the Interior's efforts to revise unfavorable stories about American history at National Park Service sites appears to be backfiring — instead of reporting incidents of "negative" history as directed by new signs, visitors have used the signs' QR codes to submit hundreds of comments in support of the park service.

In a 65-page leaked document provided to SFGATE by the National Parks Conservation Association, the hundreds of comments that have poured in through June 16 show overwhelming support for better funding for national parks and increased protection of public lands.

"This felonious Administration is the very definition of un-American. The parks belong to us, the people. ... Respectfully, GO ---- YOURSELVES" reads one comment that has been reported through multiple parks and is directed to Interior Secretary Doug Burgum.

"This park is perfect. Please tell Trump to go ---- himself," reads a similar comment posted through Keweenaw National Historical Park in Michigan.

At the Stonewall National Monument in New York, where the Interior Department came under fire earlier this year for removing mentions of transgender people from the park's website, visitors have left several comments bashing the new initiative.

"I've noticed there aren't nearly enough signs about how a tyrannical government is trying to white wash history," read one comment.

“ Taking the T and Q (Transgender and Queer) out of the way the park tells the history of Stonewall is inaccurate and incomplete. Fix this!" read another.

It doesn't really surprise me that the Schlump regime is trying to erase the very significant role played by trans folks in the Stonewall riots, but it makes me MAD AS FUCKING HELL!!!

She thought the museum itself did it. I’m glad I read this so I can’t tell her now.

One aspect of the current shadow over our nation that I call the "fever dream" is that the pseudo-president has the support of most Americans though many are too embarrassed to admit it. This is the reason they lie about him enjoying a landslide election even though he only won a tight plurality. Those in the thrall of this fever dream are also tasked with maintaining it to some extent: I once asked a MAGA person to look up the actual vote count and they refused. But as small as these little resistance actions are, they are probably having an effect in weakening the fever dream, so that when major setbacks occur, and they will, they are more likely to finish it.
