A stark comparison to the US presidency and a seemingly invisible regime. This is the real comparison between Abraham Lincoln and Donald Trump in terms of those hidden facts concerning fascism and the prevailing white supremacy in the presence of many factual events that illustrate a hidden aspect of a dangerous American system.

A laugh-out-loud lie, almost from start to finish.July 31, 2018
No one expects, of course, that D'Souza would make a thoughtful, balanced or historically accurate documentary. But is it unreasonable to hope that he make one that doesn't bore the pants off us?July 31, 2018
If nothing else, Death of a Nation makes it clear that the lies are bigger than ever, and we can't afford to pretend they're going to stop any time soon.August 03, 2018
D'Souza quotes Hitler (played by Pavel Kríz) in one scene as saying, "if you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed." It's a concept D'Souza has taken to heart.July 31, 2018
In "Death of a Nation," Dinesh D'Souza is no longer preaching to the choir; he's preaching to the mentally unsound.August 01, 2018
Often unfocused with too many generalizations, oversimplifications, and a very weak central thesis comparing Donald Trump to Abraham Lincoln. It might change the way you look at fascism, but it won't change the way you look at Trump.July 30, 2018
D'Souza fans and Trump apologists will flock to this, misguided moths to a misleading flame. In that way, it's a perfect representation of the current climate. In every other way, it's a mess.August 02, 2018
Great stuff if you're drinking the Kool-Aid, but to a sane person, it seems like a fantasy.August 03, 2018
There's a shamelessness at work here that's frightening, and one can't help but wonder if D'Souza believes some of the nonsense he's retailing or if he's just discovered a lucrative revenue stream.August 02, 2018
If ever there was a movie that looked as if it had been slapped together in a couple of weeks as part of a quid pro quo agreement involving a dubious-seeming criminal pardon, Death of a Nation is that film.July 31, 2018
D'Souza fails, as ever, to make an argument that would resonate outside the QAnon echo chamber.
