Dr. Jason Stanley and Dr. Kimberly Crenshaw discusses the current political climate in relation to Stanley's book "How Fascism Works."
They highlight the "Sodom and Gomorrah" and "law and order" pillars of fascism, noting the targeting of Democratic strongholds and the suppression of civil protests.
Crenshaw emphasizes the historical parallels, such as the overthrow of Reconstruction and President Wilson's segregation of the federal government.
They warn of the erasure of historical truths, like the Smithsonian's exhibits, and stresses the importance of understanding the larger picture to combat fascism.
