Undoing the Democratic Narrative
Death of a Nation is the fourth movie that Dinesh D’Souza has made, continuing his theme that the American Left — which he traces through the history of the Democratic Party — has much in common with movements such as fascism and national socialism.
Don’t expect the liberal media to give you an accurate review of this movie. The Washington Post’s scathing review offered little in the way of telling readers what the movie was actually about, dismissing it as riddled with historical inaccuracies, without offering much in the way of examples. While D’Souza certainly pushes the historical envelope at times, his motion picture is much closer to the truth than the “review” offered by the Post.
“It aims to link Democrats to slave owners and segregationists, ignoring the fact that the two parties swapped places on race in the mid-20th century, most decisively with the Democrats’ support of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and 1965 Voting Rights Act,” argues the Post. I would agree that it is somewhat unfair to tar modern Democrats with slavery, but the Post answers here with its own myth it dishonestly calls a “fact,” that myth being that the parties “swapped places on race.” Their assertion that the Democrats supported the 1964 Civil Rights Act, for example, simply ignores the fact — an undeniable historical fact — that a larger percentage of Republicans voted for the law than did Democrats.
