Being an American who stands up for dignity and freedom, means that Ben Meiselas is simply telling it like it is. Other DU posts confirm it too. America, under this oppressive GOP regime, is just moments away from going full 1934 Germany. We see it daily, the manipulated legal processes, the use of intimidation, and exploitation of political crises to dismantle American democracy.

It's straight out of the history books on repeat. It's disgusting what has already be lost.
