Snow White bag #7 Bashful has arrived 4/7 dwarves are accounted for
Halfway through and this is frightening because it‘s happening here again. If you think it‘s not….you are not paying attention. VOTE like your future depends on it….because it does.
pickThis is a well-researched, well-written book about the USA‘s previous flirtations with fascism. Maddow narrates the book in an engaging way, occasionally throwing in a touch of her trademark snark. The only thing I‘d have done differently is I‘d have laid out the two eras side-by-side so that the parallels couldn‘t be missed. But Maddow trusts her audience, so she concentrates on the Hitler era. Continued with Veronica Speedwell on my #audiowalk
This book makes you realize that there‘s very little new under the sun. The US has had large groups of fascist supporters before, the most significant of which was right before WWII with America First and the Christian Front. More Veronica Speedwell on my #audiowalk. I haven‘t decided how I feel about her yet.
pick4.5⭐️ I will admit I‘m a bit of a fan girl of Rachel‘s, even though I have only read two of her books, but I like how she tells a story. A very timely story and like it is said “history may not repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” Such is the case with this book. The book expands on her podcast Ultra. #2024 #nonfiction #bookstagram #wwii #history #fascism

pickDisclaimer...I'm not here for politics...so anyone ranting politics I'll delete and move on.
That said , this book examines a time when Nazi propaganda crossed paths with segregationist ideology to create a moment in American history.
If you're a bit of a history buff I suggest giving this a read. It certainly has parallels seen in today's political climate.
pickThink a book about American right-wing fascism is going to be boring…think again. Rachel Maddow highlights the Nazi propaganda campaign that took place right here in America. Along the way we meet the far-right US citizens and politicians who colluded with the Nazis with the aim of overthrowing the US government and the brave individuals who did everything they could to stop them.
Good thing nothing like that can happen today, right?
