I wish the guy good luck with this flick.
It’s one of those “Preaching tot he choir” movies - the conservatives already know the message and the left will never change their mind.
“It’s one of those “Preaching to the choir” movies.
I disagree, sorta. It’s more like “Teaching the choir.” Went to see it today with my local Republicans Women’s Club. Most of them didn’t know alot of this and these ladies are very active in politics.
Great flix.
He talked about the Nazi’s using the rat’s KKK guidelines to justifies their mass extermination of the Jews. How FDR admired Hitler and Mussolini. And how the Nazi Platform could be Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren. LOL!
He reviewed the history of the progressives that started in the 1830
He did talk about how Lincoln was anti-progressive and this was his basis for being anti slavery. The quote he used to describe Lincoln’s view of the progressives “You work and toil and earn bread, and I’ll eat it.”
Full quote
“That is the real issue. That is the issue that will continue in this country when these poor tongues of Judge Douglas and myself shall be silent. It is the eternal struggle between these two principles — right and wrong — throughout the world. They are the two principles that have stood face to face from the beginning of time, and will ever continue to struggle. The one is the common right of humanity and the other the divine right of kings. It is the same principle in whatever shape it develops itself. It is the same spirit that says, “You work and toil and earn bread, and I’ll eat it.” No matter in what shape it comes, whether from the mouth of a king who seeks to bestride the people of his own nation and live by the fruit of their labor, or from one race of men as an apology for enslaving another race, it is the same tyrannical principle.”

I always thought the progressive mind set started here in the 1930’s but he presents an argument it started 100 years before. If you think about it has been around since the dawn of man.
