Rachel Maddow: So the origin story for this is that I was sort of flummoxed during the rise of Trumpism and the Republican Party that it also seemed to be coincident with a real upsurge in Holocaust denial and crazy conspiracy theories that I used to associate with the very far fringe right, and not at all with electoral politics. And so when this new movement is rising in electoral politics, why is Holocaust denial now becoming a more mainstream thing? And that’s what started me down this path, trying to find, what are the earliest instances of American Holocaust denial and where did they come from?

It is helpful to me in terms of understanding where we are. And history does accumulate, it doesn’t just recur. It piles up. And so seeing what we’re standing on is really helpful. And knowing that the country has been deeply alarmed about factually unhinged, antidemocratic forms of right-wing extremism in electoral politics—it’s good to know that we can take some lessons from the people who fought it.

JMO but when unqualified J.D. Vance, a former Corporal in the U.S. Marine Corps, likened Trump to Hitler, the narcissitic wanna be dictator and Republican cult leader probably took the lable as being a compliment!
