lol– isn't this literally the plot of #AynRand's #Fountainhead?
The pseudo-intellectuals among the #MAGA types purport to be Ayn Rand acolytes. Her individualist diatribes against socialism as the highest ideal, used architecture as a vehicle. She preached that "classic" design for everything was the path of stagnant dullards, unlike her protagonist.
Meanwhile maga pushes exactly that – everyone has to wear the same hat and conform to the leader's ideology. Who's the collectivist now?

“As for the present, I am not willing to surrender the world to the jerky contortions of self-inducedly brainless bodies with empty eye sockets, who perform, in stinking basements, the immemorial rituals of staving off terror, which are a dime a dozen in any jungle—and to the quavering witch doctors who call it ‘#art.’”
When I read this, I wondered if #AynRand had been to one of my old bands’ early gigs. 😉
