Hitler and Trump – TEASER

In this special bonus show, Gaslit Nation reminds you that Hitler and Trump rose to power in very similar ways, and why we must stay grounded in that historical truth. The fate of the world literally depends on it. The Holocaust and World War II happened, because people didn’t want to believe it would be so bad. Normalcy bias is a dangerous coping mechanism.

As the world marks the 81st anniversary of Victory in Europe Day, with Putin, like Hitler, hiding in his bunker, reports of his hands shaking, of parades canceled or scaled back across Russia–it’s a reminder that we can stand up to fascism, when we align our will with a higher purpose, like Ukraine and its allies.

To celebrate the power of remembering, and Andrea’s birthday (caaaaake!), we’re opening this Monday’s Gaslit Nation Salon at 4pm E.T. with a reading of the first 10 pages of her screenplay, about the power of forbidden love in a time of fascism. To join us, look out for the Zoom link posted Monday morning on Patreon. This week’s bonus show, available in full for our subscribers at the Truth-teller ($5/month) level and higher, we continue on with Gal Beckerman about his new book How to Be a Dissident. Listen to Part I here.
