I agree with HardPort about the connection between the Nazis then and now. Also, the fact that the Nazi in Germany got inspiration for some of their hedious deeds from some of American deeds. And the comparisons with the maga are indeed right there. Not just at the end but through out. Make America great again, a rip off the German Nazis, was in some areas never Great. I also came away feeling a little less about FDR. Did anyone else get the feeling toward him?
