After @DavidCornDC's chapters on Reagan in #AmericanPsychosis, I just think: could he have gotten away with coddling literal Nazis, laying a wreath at an SS cemetery, & cozying up to doomsday evangelicals in the social media era?

Reagan visits German war cemetery, May 5, 1985

After attending a G-7 summit meeting in Bonn, in what was then West Germany, President Ronald Reagan on this day in 1985 made an eight-minute visit to the German war cemetery in Bitburg. Helmut Kohl, the West German chancellor, had suggested the side trip to the cemetery, where some 2,000 German soldiers lie buried, to mark the 40th anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe.

In #AmericanPsychosis, @DavidCorn shows how the GOP has winked & hugged at right wing extremism for years. In the 60s, Reagan let John Birchers know he was with them with dog whistles to win the CA governorship.

Nixon ordered his DOJ to stay away from charges to hard hat rioters who beat the shit out of college protesters in NYC right after the Kent State shootings.

@ifilljustice as before, #RachelMaddow produced another blockbuster masterpiece with the #UltraPodcast
May I also mention a recently published book by #DavidCorn on the same historical theme, with the same urgent lessons for the times we live in? #AmericanPsychosis
I finished the book before listening to the podcast. They go perfectly together in creating an expansive and detailed picture of who and what #Republicans have always been and the danger they pose to a free, democratic America.
