Death of A Nation

D’Souza Talks Antifa, Trump & Midterms

August 14, 2018 by GregC

Listen to “D’Souza Talks Antifa, Trump & Midterms” on Spreaker.

Author and filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza says the violent “anti-fascist” protesters are the real fascists, that white nationalism is rooted on the left, and that Republican operatives urging conservatives to vote for Democrats this year as a check on President Trump “need to have their heads examined.”

D’Souza’s latest project is “Death of A Nation: Plantation Politics and the Making of the Democratic Party.”  It seeks to draw parallels from the outrage following the election of President Trump to the volcanic opposition to the 1860 victory of Abraham Lincoln.

This past weekend, Antifa protesters took to the streets of Charlottesville and Washington and spent most of their time hurling epithets at police and the media.  D’Souza says Antifa might claim to be opposing fascism but they clearly embody what they say they hate.

“They’re posing as anti-fascists.  Of course they dress like fascists.  They act like fascists.  They have the same intolerance as fascism.  And let’s notice that their target isn’t fascists.  When you’re targeting cops and Republicans and patriots and Christians, you’re actually not targeting fascists but anti-fascists.

“So we have an amazing situation in which the fascists – Antifa – are pretending to be anti-fascists and targeting anti-fascists, whom they claim are fascists,” said D’Souza

So why does the far left have a compulsion towards violence?

“Their view is that since Trump is like Hitler circa 1933, they are fully justified in using, as they say, any means necessary to eject him, including illegal means, including violence,” said D’Souza, who also asserts that fascism is a far left ideology that academic liberals twisted to blur the coziness between the American Democrats and fascist leaders before World War II.

“Fascism is properly defined as the ideology of the centralized state, when you have the state organizing and running the private economy, when you have the states running the lives of citizens.  That’s fascism.  That’s how Mussolini understood it.  That’s how Hitler understood it,” said D’Souza.

Antifa took to the streets to counter a planned rally by white nationalists who never showed up.  The tension between the two sides is often characterized by the media as right versus left.  D’Souza says that’s wrong because both are on the left.  He says this is made clear as he interviews white nationalist figures Jason Kessler and Richard Spencer in “Death of A Nation.”

“These guys actually have backgrounds in the left.  They’re not right wingers and yet the media doesn’t report this.  Why?  Because they’re trying to pin the fascist and racist tail on the Republican elephant,” said D’Souza.

D’Souza says white nationalism is a “spent force” that usually cannot muster more than a few dozen people to events that are then dwarfed by counterprotesters.  But if white nationalists are of the the left, why did so many openly endorse President Trump in 2016?

D’Souza says it was their ticket to short-term relevance.

“They call (the rally) ‘Unite the Right’ because they want to feed the left wing narrative that they are somehow representative of Trump and this somehow gives them an inflated notoriety.  In exchange, what they’re giving the left is that they’re confirming and corroborating the left’s narrative,” said D’Souza.

Liberal protesters take to the streets en masse in opposition to most Republican presidents but D’Souza says it’s worse this time because Trump fights back.

“Trump realizes that he’s in a big fight.  The Left does not hold back.  The traditional Republican strategy of going under your desk or running for the exit doesn’t really work in this situation,” said D’Souza.

He says the next big fight is in the the midterm elections.  D’Souza says Democrats already have several racial and ethnic groups dependent upon government to supply what they need to exist and handing them the majority means they will only look to expand what he calls “plantation politics.”

“They’d love to have everybody in this position of ethnically-enforced dependence.  It’s actually a horrible system and it would make this a horrible country, which is why we have to work really hard to prevent that nightmare from becoming a reality,” said D’Souza.

Several anti-Trump Republican operatives like Michael Gerson and Steve Schmidt are urging conservatives to vote for Democrats under the logic that the GOP has been corrupted by Trump and must be destroyed so it can be rebuilt again.

D’Souza rejects that entirely.

“These people literally need to have their heads examined,” he said.  “They’re talking absolute nonsense and should be completely ignored.”

D’Souza Discusses ‘Death of A Nation’

July 23, 2018 by GregC

http://dateline.radioamerica.org/podcast/7-20-dinesh-blog.mp3

Conservative author and filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza contends our politics are their most combustible since just before the Civil War, and he says President Trump must lead the effort to destroy “plantation politics” and end the practice of using the power of government to punish political enemies.

D’Souza latest project is “Death of A Nation: Plantation Politics and the Making of the Democratic Party.”  The film opens August 3.

While our politics are toxic today, the parallel between the elections of 2016 and 1860 may take some people by surprise.  D’Souza says there’s a good reason for the comparison after the volcanic response by liberals to Trump’s victory.

“I don’t think there’s any precedent for it in our lifetime.   You have to go further back,” said d’Souza.

“Lincoln would understand our moment.  Let’s remember that in 1860, the Democrats, not just the Southern Democrats but the Northern Democrats, refused to accept the result of a free election.  And so chaos resulted from that.

“The chaos now is taking a different form.  It’s not an effort to break up the country.  It’s rather an effort to oust Trump by any means necessary,” said D’Souza.

D’Souza says one of the greatest dangers Americans now face is the Democrats’ weaponization of government to exact political punishment on their enemies.  He believes that’s the reason for the increased polarization in the U.S. and why he received a much harsher sentence for campaign finance violations than most other people.

“I attribute this mainly to the gangster-ization of the Democratic Party.  If I can cite my own case as an example.  I was charged by the Obama administration for exceeding campaign finance laws.  They threw the weight of the federal government against me.

“Jimmy Carter would not have done that.  That was the old Democratic Party.  But under Obama and under Hillary, you had this turn in which the weapons of the state are used against political opponents.  There’s no way to compromise with that.  It’s not like we can have a middle position on that.  We actually have to just stop it,” said D’Souza.

He says that’s the same conclusion Lincoln reached more than 150 years ago.

“Lincoln understood the same thing.  Lincoln had made all kinds of bending concessions, but at some point he realized, ‘We had an election.  I have an electoral mandate.  I campaigned on it but now the American people have ratified it.  So it’s their mandate, not mine, so I’m not going to give it up at any cost,'” said D’Souza.

“Lincoln said, ‘I would rather die than give it up.’  I think Trump has some of Lincoln’s solidity, some of Lincoln’s backbone.  Unlike a lot of Republicans, when the media start attacking him, he doesn’t hide under his desk or run away from the room.  He fights back and that’s the kind of spirit the Republican Party needs,” said said D’Souza.

The book is also a denunciation of what D’Souza calls plantation politics, which he says started as “an ethnic scheme” to keep black people in slavery but in complete dependence.  He says slavery is now abolished but the Democrats still have the same mindset towards blacks, Latinos, and others.

‘The Democrats identify an ethnic group and they say, ‘We’re not going to campaign for your votes as individuals.  We want your votes collectively, and we’re going to create an institutional dependency and inter-generational dependency on the Democratic Party.  You’ll never get out of poverty, but we’ll take care of you forever and in exchange, you’ll agree to vote for us,'” said D’Souza.

D’Souza says Democrats like to argue that the two parties have switched roles on race and other issues since Lincoln’s day, but he says that’s just not true.

“Lincoln said the Republican Party stands for the idea that the hand that makes the corn has the right to put the corn in it’s own mouth.  In other words, people have the right to keep the fruit of their labor.  A hundred and fifty years later, those are the still the identifiable principles of the two parties.

“The Republican Party stands for keeping the fruits of your labor.  The Democratic Party stands for wealth confiscation.  Not a whole lot has changed,” said D’Souza.

The “Death of a Nation” project was well underway before Trump’s decision to pardon D’Souza earlier this year.  D’Souza says he’s grateful to have basic rights again like voting and being able to own a firearm, but he says there are much deeper blessings as well.

“I feel in a broader sense that there’s lifted a cloud.  It has taken this ‘felon’ badge that the left was trying to hang around my neck.  It’s lifted that.  It’s given me my full American dream back, so for that I’m both exhilarated and grateful,” said D’Souza.
