David Rutherford Show: Is America Weimar Germany? Brandon Gresham On Propaganda, The Divided Right & The Strongman Trap

Everybody's telling you we're Weimar Germany. The hard right says it, the hard left says it, and both of them want the same thing the Germans got in 1933. This week I sat down with Brandon Gresham — Air Force Security Forces veteran and co-host of I Came With Fire — who actually did the homework on 1919 to 1933, and he says the comparison falls apart on contact except for one lesson nobody wants to hear.
