Yes, we have had unhinged lying Fascists hijack our media before- The Case of Father Charles Coughlin
Yes, we have had unhinged lying Fascists hijack our media before in order to brainwash millions and organize Insurrection. If you've never heard of the Anti-Semitic Radio Priest Father Charles Coughlin, here is an article in "Slate" which should resonate today. (Link below) You'll be interested to know that the Nazi Propaganda Ministry attacked "the Jewish controlled American Media" for suppressing Coughlin's Free Speech. Coughlin had been reading aloud on Radio statements plagiarized from Josef Goebbels. Small wonder they came to his defense. Coughlin was the leader of the pro Hitler "America First". He too tried to incite a March upon the Capitol to disrupt Congress, to stop the amending of the Neutrality Act so that America could not support our European allies against Germany.
History doesn't repeat itself. Racist morons and traitors keep re-emerging to attack our Constitutional System, then worship Dictators and Cult leaders who carry the Cross, and wrap themselves in the Flag. And we keep ignoring it until it's almost too late.
