Thom draws historical parallels between the two and it is frightening. It's what happens when you erase history with the intent to repeat it.
"Just four months before Germany began bombing England, Republican Charles Lindbergh — a man in his day as famous as Donald Trump — addressed the nation arguing that we should stay out of Hitler’s way. [...] So many Republican politicians had taken to the floor of the U.S. House and Senate to praise Adolf Hitler and his new German fascism."
"Much like Tucker Carlson is forcing Republican candidates for president to take Putin‘s side of the Ukraine conflict — the most recent to fall being Ron DeSantis — Republican presidential hopefuls fell into line with Lindbergh back in the day. [...] If a handful of Putin-loving Republicans can kill our support for democracy and Putin succeeds in taking Ukraine, his senior officers and former President Medvedev (now deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council) and former Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanov have already told us that Poland and the Baltic states are next."
