Needs to be listened to (and yes trumpers, stay mad)

It’s a great companion to the series and goes it to more detail about the parallels of today’s America and the early 20th century and how easily people can fall for demagoguery. History doesn’t repeat but it does rhyme. As for the 1 star trumper reviews: the show is literally about politics and how it affects families who have to suffer under REAL oppression thanks to leaders who are at best ambivalent about how their ideas inform what people see as acceptable behavior and at worst actively condoning it.
Brainwashed Democrats

It’s so sad to see these “libs” who can’t think for themselves. Please TRY to take in all of the facts that the narrative spinning CNBC’s of this world spits out, and come to your own conclusion. Wanting secure borders is important for a multitude of legitimate reasons. Dems are letting anyone and everyone enter America through the now open border. A rational and logical thinker would clearly understand that it’s safer for our countries communities to allow immigrants to be vetted, assuring that they are not criminals, rapists, murderers etc. Conservatives welcome people entering our country LEGALLY. But what’s the automatic knee jerk response of the Democrats? “You’re RACIST! You’re ALL racist!” Which if you pay attention even slightly, you’ll realize that accusation is their typical defensive comeback response. Unfortunately, libs aren’t concerned with crime or destructive riots unless it’s in their front yard. “Defund the police”, until they need assistance from 911 in which case their inner Karen will emerge with, “what took you so long? My Prius is on fire!” Think people, PLEASE. Why are the democrats so intent on keeping the borders open? Power and Control via elections. They are expecting and counting on those immigrants votes when it’s election time. This is why they can’t allow voter Id’s interfere with their agenda. VOTER ID’s? Like EVERY other country in the world to ensure honest and fraud free elections? We can’t have that! Let’s play the race card. “Racist, racist, you want voter Id.” Blatant race card usage when the Georgia issue that the libs are complaining about has extended hours of voting than Biden’s home state of Delaware. Come on people, think! Leaders of numerous countries scratch their head trying to make the connection between voter ID and racism. Then they laugh. Think. Who are they laughing at? Not the clever Democrats spinning their narratives, but rather half of Americans idiotically nodding their heads at the CNN’s, CNBC’s, MSNBC’s tall tale tellers on their screens. Please people(referring to only half of Americans), open your minds and absorb current event from numerous sources. Then THINK for yourselves to arrive at your own conclusions. The country, our country will be better for it. And on a side note. If any “lib” calls me racist, I’ll look them square in the eye and say “you should meet my wife. She’s a wonderful woman with an impressive ethnic heritage.” Then I’ll punch them right in the frickin’ nose!!!! When they open their eyes and get up, I’ll not ask but TELL them to THINK!!! Joey

This is the perfect companion to this incredible miniseries. I love hearing behind the scenes stuff and this does not disappoint. No spoilers, but it really is wonderful to listen to this after watching each episode. Peter Sagal does a great job.
