Philip interviewed Cynthia Chung on various topics relating to history. There are significant parallels between our world today and in the days leading up to the Second World War.

CovertAction Magazine says:

A Trump victory would further exacerbate inequality, sexism and the environmental crisis while bringing about more structural racism and the threat of war. A Trump defeat, by contrast, could open up space to build a genuine left-wing movement that is capable of long term political, economic and social transformation.

Four more years or more of Trump will not afford us that space and would yield a horrendous outcome that could bring us back to the dark age of Europe in the 1930s.
