Kimberly Guilfoyle says to read THIS book immediately Check out Kimberly Guilfoyle's "one more thing" from earlier this week—there's one book she says is a "must-read, if you're brave enough": 
What is "the big lie" of the Democratic Party? That conservatives—and President Trump in particular—are fascists. Nazis, even. In a typical comment, MSNBC host Rachel Maddow says the Trump era is reminiscent of "what it was like when Hitler first became chancellor." But in fact, this audacious lie is a complete inversion of the truth. Yes, there is a fascist threat in America—but that threat is from the Democratic Party. The Democratic Left has an ideology virtually identical with fascism and routinely borrows tactics of intimidation and political terror from the Nazi Brownshirts. To cover up their insidious fascist agenda, Democrats loudly accuse President Trump and other Republicans of being Nazis—an obvious lie, considering the GOP has been fighting the Democrats over slavery, genocide, racism, and fascism from the beginning.

Here is a list of suggested readings -- you will get a lot more knowledge and understanding from any one of these than you will get for D'Souza's lies.
ReplyDeleteOn Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century, by Timothy Snyder
From the prologue:
The Founding Fathers tried to protect us from the threat they knew, the tyranny that overcame ancient democracy. Today, our political order faces new threats, not unlike the totalitarianism of the twentieth century. We are no wiser than the Europeans who saw democracy yield to fascism, Nazism, or communism. Our one advantage is that we might learn from their experience.
History does not repeat, but it does instruct. As the Founding Fathers debated our Constitution, they took instruction from the history they knew. . . As they knew, Aristotle warned that inequality brought instability, while Plato believed that demagogues exploited free speech to install themselves as tyrants. In founding a democratic republic upon law and establishing a system of checks and balances, the Founding Fathers sought to avoid the evil that they, like the ancient philosophers, called tyranny.
Today — 2017 — the Legislative and Executive branches of our government are controlled by exactly the same forces that Plato and Aristotle warned up about: inequality, and, a demagogue who manipulates free speech. We are not immune from tyranny. In this small volume, the author describes how tyranny came to Europe in the 20th Century and how it can come to us today.
