Over the weekend, our household watched Dinesh D’Souza’s
documentary Death of A Nation. From the
documentary website:
Not since 1860 have the Democrats
so fanatically refused to accept the result of a free election. That year,
their target was Lincoln. They smeared him. They went to war to defeat him. In
the end, they assassinated him.
Now the target of the Democrats is
President Trump and his supporters. The Left calls them racists, white
supremacists and fascists. These charges are used to justify driving Trump from
office and discrediting the right "by any means necessary."
But which is the party of the slave
plantation? Which is the party that invented white supremacy? Which is the
party that praised fascist dictators and shaped their genocidal policies and
was in turn praised by them?
Moreover, which is the party of
racism today? Is fascism now institutionally embodied on the right or on the
left?
Through stunning historical
recreations and a searching examination of fascism and white supremacy, Death
of a Nation cuts through progressive big lies to expose hidden history and
explosive truths.
Lincoln united his party and saved
America from the Democrats for the first time. Can Trump—and we—come together
and save America for the second time?
Progressives will not like this film (for example, see here). We had some quibbles, but overall, it is excellent. The film includes some historical footage as well as some impressive re-enactments.
