The “Ultra” podcast by Rachel Maddow is a shocking account of the America First political movement in the 1930s. This white supremacist right wing violent movement supported Hitler and the Nazis, promoted and distributed Nazi propaganda, had deep ties to the Christian fanatics of that time, included many members of Congress, committed violence, threatened violence, and came close to overthrowing the American government. All in the name of despising “socialism” and liberal mores, and admiring the “manliness” of Hitler and the Nazis.
We see it again today. Same political energies again today. Same righteous paranoia and hate.
She has done 5 podcasts so far and more to come. If you like to listen to podcasts while driving, walking, tinkering, etc. this one is worth tuning into.
Because we see it again —— today — in our own America First MAGA Cult.
