makes the case that the democrat party and the left are and have always been the party of socialism, fascism, slavery and bigotry. It is essentially an updated version of his last movie, Hillary's America, if i recall the title correctly.
It tried to connect lincoln and trump. While different men with different personalities, the times in which they lived required each of them to be strong and steadfast to save the union.
A fair point imo, if not taken too literally.
D'Souza says as some of us here do, that the left today is as fascist as mussolini's black shirts or hitler's brown shirts. The antifa stuff is just a lie. They are just, "Fa."
That is probably what D'Souza did best, clearly portraying today's left as the fascists with coerced political correctness and violence against infidels.
Not a lot in there that was new, save the depiction of Sophie Scholl a german christian during WWII. I had never heard of her. Learned something.
The movie was admittedly fairly heavy handed. It did not attempt or pretend to be fair and balanced or to give both sides of an argument. It was a rallying cry for conservatism and donald trump. I didn't mind.
It begins with a compilation of many of the election night journalists predicting the presidency for fat hillary and then wailing when the returns came in.
That was great.
I do not doubt anything in the movie, but i question as i do with the liars and exaggerators on this board the extent to which the nazis for example used the american democrat party, the kkk and FDR as examples of how to handle the jewish problem. (My words.)
Two different members of FDR's cabinet ... or was it margaret singer's eugenicists i don't recall, each got letters from hitler saying what great work they were doing.
It does lay out, and this is credible in my opinion, the fact that FDR and some in his cabinet were very impressed with mussolini and hitler early on. Socialism and fascism were models that were embraced by leftist leaders in both countries.
And the movie ended with a rousing rendition of The Battle Hymn of the Republic sung by a church choir. Love that song.
I would love to see this as part of the curriculum in high school or college history classes. Not to be blindly accepted, but to be discussed and put up against the liberal indoctrination that students experience today.
The theatre had only ten people in it. One was black, so there's that...
This is the part where the pickle and his band of idiots will condemn the movie, my synopsis of it and the very idea behind it. All without the benefit of actually seeing it.
I recommend it. With a grain of salt.
