Rachel Maddow's new podcast Ultra is riveting and scary at the same time
It is a must to listen to it. The storytelling is top-notch. Rachel and her team did in-depth research on events that had been forgotten in history. That is, the last time (before january 6 ) right-wing groups attempted to overthrow the US government.
The parallels are frightening down to the use of "America first" slogan. What the magats are doing today exactly follows the same pattern. Like now, the lumbering justice system struggled to react in time and contain it, even if they did prevail at the end.
Listen to ultra, replace "Hitler's regime" by Russia and it is the same setup. The catholic father who had tens of millions of followers on his radio show spreading extremism could be Limbaugh, Fox news and the like.
The proud boys and the like can be directly matched up with the "america first" militias, etc..
Many members of congress got corrupted and were pushing Nazi propaganda, a few senators, many house members just like today.
