How does that work, I hope that whatever happened during previous administration is still archived somehow.

With how determined some people are with archiving, id be surprised if it wasn't.

Don't forget these people are also very determined to destroy it all !

That's a really vast generalization to make about their beliefs. I remember stumbling across the subreddit for some of these data hoarder people and it seems most of them just want backups of historical data

Edit: I just realized you mightve been talking about the trump administration being determined to destroy it. Here's hoping there are too many copies for that to happen 🤞

Yeah I'm talking about religious people wanting to destroy scientific records and books.

I for sure hope that with the digital age, we will be able to backup/copy/save as much as possible. Because they are here to destroy it.
