This week, Andrea Pitzer looks at how Trump's actions devolve to doing the maximum harm to the most people. She goes down to the National Mall to see how D.C. observed the Hands Off protests that were held around the country on April 5. She meets a mother and daughter who are descendants of a French Resistance fighter. They remind everyone that if you wait until an oppressive government is already targeting you to act, it may be too late. Andrea considers the rising death toll from various Trump decisions, including cutting off support in key regions for the World Food Program.

Tying the administration's current efforts to punish nearly everyone it can to the idea of death cult, she considers the historical examples of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia and cult leader Jim Jones. Andrea outlines how the American public got acclimated to mass death during the first Trump administration, when he launched the adversarial government response to Covid that would eventually deliver the deaths of more than a million Americans. The end of the episode outlines specific ways to fight back against the death cult seizing the country.
