After we got into the anti-vaccine movement, we brought on the great legend #AdamHochschild to discuss the current moment in American history, how similar & different it all is to the post-WWI America we are now over 100 years away from, and if we are indeed in the midst of a new American Midnight.

Opinion | America was at its Trumpiest 100 years ago. Here’s how to prevent the worst. During WWI, America lurched toward autocracy. Resistance was minimal.

Just read this extraordinary piece by #AdamHochschild. I had no idea this Trumpian (pardon the expression) crap has all happened before!
