Dan Manellla wrote an excellent response to my “Star Wars,” “Lawrence of Arabia,” Freud, and Trump post. I especially enjoyed watching the scene from “Judgment a Nuremberg” Dan linked to, and I urge you to watch it. It’s scarily relevant.
On the subject of movies…and Trump….and accountability…. I cannot help thinking about MAGA supporters – many of whom have no clue what they are supporting…many who are historically illiterate people who have no appreciation, nor imagination of what has happened in the past, and what could easily be recreated and repeated….because history does have a way of doing that – especially to the illiterate.
I am often reminded of this scene from the film Judgement at Nuremberg…. https://youtu.be/8Ioc2KD-I1U
What will these supporters do when they realize what a crook this guy is? Will they double down…or will they admit that they followed a rat?
After April of 1945 – Nazi’s still existed….they just took the uniforms off…and hid in plain site.
The only thing I would disagree with in what Dan wrote is that I do not believe that all MAGA/Trump supporters are illiterate. Many are college educated, and not all of those college graduates are from evangelical colleges such as Liberty University. By the way, the new Fox News Sunday anchor, Shannon Bream, graduated from Liberty.
Prime time Fox News personalities/bloviators Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, and Laura Ingraham are all college graduates, so, technically are not illiterate, although they sure seem to be.
