A proposal for a triumphal arch in DC for #America250, in the traffic circle in front of Arlington National Cemetery. America needs a triumphal arch!

@nic_charbonneau This would be amazing

@nic_charbonneau @bethanyshondark Or these. We could have these.

@nic_charbonneau You need to have a triumph if you want another triumphal arch.

@nic_charbonneau We’re speedrunning to farcical versions of the Speer plan for Berlin that got cooked up to distract the Fuhrer from how badly the war was going. Does it mean the Soviets will be rolling up thru the rubble in 2-3 years or so?

@nic_charbonneau Celebrating what triumph?

@nic_charbonneau You will like this @JustinShubow

@nic_charbonneau If we build an arch it must be both much more originally beautiful and much bigger

@nic_charbonneau In fairness, America already has several of them....

@nic_charbonneau Nothing to triumph rn.

@nic_charbonneau When was the last time the United States won a war?

@nic_charbonneau Build it in adamantium, I want this shit INDESTRUCTABLE

@nic_charbonneau Yes please

@nic_charbonneau Yes! Love the classical proportions.

@nic_charbonneau Love this!!!

@nic_charbonneau Great, so long as the stop sign entering the current circle is removed. Defeats the purpose of a traffic circle.

@nic_charbonneau Yes! 🇺🇸

@nic_charbonneau Wrong century, wrong continent, wrong culture.

@nic_charbonneau A confident nation builds monuments; a declining nation tears them down

@nic_charbonneau Nice, but we already have triumphal arches and we seem to have them in every city. The most American triumphal arches.

@nic_charbonneau For sinking repurposed Venezuela tuna boats?

@nic_charbonneau @the_culturist_ Not a fan. Triumphal arches were never a part of USA culture.

@nic_charbonneau Victory Arch by sculptor Frank Giuseppe Menconi torn down in 1920 🥲

@nic_charbonneau We haven't won a war in 75 years . If we win a war, you have my permission to build a huge monument
