Axis History Podcast : A History of Tyranny in the 20th Century

From Hitler to Trump: Historical Parallels and the Washington, D.C. Riots


Listen Later

In this episode I host  two experts on a variety of topics that dive into the riots and insurrection that occurred in Washington D.C. as extremists attempted to attack the foundation of our government and overturn a legal presidential election.


This episode touches on a variety of points including:


Historical parallels with Nazi Germany, Mussolini's Italy and the 1934 crisis of France.


The evolution of modern extremists groups as they attempt to co-opt other conservative banners, flags and images while moving away from controversial hate symbols such as the swastika which can be a turn off to patriotic conservatives.


The holocaust and modern antisemitism as it manifested itself at these riots and attacks on our federal government. And the parallels that we are seeing with not just the Third Reich as the fringe becomes mainstream but the problems surrounding entertainment news and media who in many ways are going down the path of public broadcasting that we saw leading up to the genocide in Rwanda.
